from Egypt believe me you are one of the best instructor the way you explain everything and the reasoning of doing the step or not doing it and the recommended
Been following you channel for a long while now. Been using Maya since Maya 4, so about 20ish years now.... Now, trying to learn to use Blender! And your videos have been great!
Great video! Love all your content and the cheat sheet. One thing I've discovered about the simple deform mod is that whatever you bend should be aligned how you want along the X axis. Once I started doing that it's worked well. Thanks for all you do!
that's a convenient and quick way to add support loops. i was using the add edge loop all along but now that i figured out it can be done quickly and more accurately by the bevel tool i'm feeling stupid about myself hahaha. the never ending process of learning. nice share!
Thank you for the video! If you want to merge verts through nodifiers you can use weld modifier. I used this to quickly merge all of the verts that I missed. You can kinda go non-destructive with this modifiers if you want, though I quickly applies it... just in case I forgotten about it. 🙃
Nice explanation video! But as someone who wants to get started It's pretty overwhelming and demotivating 😂😂 so many things to think about before you can make a dam simple cut😅😅
13:28 as far as i know, the key in blender is actually *C* !! now, whether this is something of my settings i changed and didn't notice or not i can't tell - please note i started using blender a week or two ago
A little tip for the last method, when you say things like you prefer it to be a little thinner but that's no problem since this is all procedural... it would be really procedural if you keep the Array modifiers and change height and diameter by changing the count in the modifiers instead of deleting geometry in Edit Mode. Oh, and you do not have to enable the Snap tool, you can just hold Ctrl for temporary snapping while moving the pieces. But don't get me wrong, great tutorial nevertheless!
Love the video more method to approach is good, say by any chains are you doing a upcoming video about hair like using shell method or partial system , backing hair or using texture to make the shell work?
Sometimes on those cylindrical poles, you can have shading issues if using a SubD modifier. However if you don't have any shading issues, and your pipeline doesnt require all quads, you should be fine. Flat surfaces are much more forgiving for poles and ngons vs curved surfaces. Hope that helps.
I just picked up Maya again after about 10 years and am doing a combination of Udemy classes and working through text books that I find online. So far i am working through Autodesk Maya 2025 Basics Guide. I been trying to find books specifically on hard surface modeling and 3D environment design. Anyone have any advice on any? I found a bunch of them with Blender but none with Maya. Any advice would be highly welcomed and appreciated.
I'm literally going on 27 hours and I still can not find a single video on how to add a hole to an imported 3d model? Is it possible? Everyone making a video makes a very basic geometric shape in blender and then adds a hole to this, which I have to say coming from Fusion 360, is the most frustrating thing known to man. Its a simple hole...but can Blender possibly make it anymore complex. By the time I figure out to make a simple hole in a 3D model in blender, I will just have to whisper "place 10 mm hole top of model " into a Nvidia Ai model and it will do it for me, which is sad but its coming.
I started my Maya adventure from your tutorial years ago. Running away from Blender after 12+ years of using it. Kinda ironic that now you are making Blender videos. Yeah, its great for views, I know.
Dev who made the code for the SimpleDefform modifier probably never used it in practice in his life. You have to rotate the Origin point every time to make it work as expected. I had to put a small script to do it for me. Terrible design. No one has fixed it for years. Not to mention the Array modifier that can't make a circle array without using an empty object. Such simple actions should be built into modifiers. You can go on like this all day long. But at least Blender has the best price in the world :)

I am transitioning from 6 months into maya and now into blender so i love this. It's relatable on a whole another level.
Yea its definitely a process, glad you could relate!
this is amazing, these are lessons that most youtubers offer them for money on their gumroad or patreon
keep up the good work
I appreciate the love! 🙏

Congrats. Btw, is it true that Maya users don't have as much problems with changing to blender compared to users of 3DS?
I was already watching your videos on Maya because I guess that Topolgy is mostly universal and it's good to see you on blender
@baslecout4734, I appreciate you supporting the channel!
It's very interesting to watch Maya modeling experts transform into blender modeling workers. Your blender content is a great help for Maya users.
You are doing Blender now! YES! You are the best!
Thanks for all the Great Hard Surface Modeling Tips
You make watching easy and your thorough with the details. Keep it coming.
I appreciate the love! 🙏
Hey guys, don't forget to download your free hard surface modeling guide: www.clkmg.com/jlmussi/3d-cheat-sheet-24
yes! Thank You so much

The basics of 3D apply in any software. ☝
Thanks for that comprehensive and in depth tutorial 👌 And bravo for your new Blender skills 👏
I appreciate the love! 🙏
Amazing, this really made the peny drop for me. Love the way you explain things. Thanks a lot 🙏

Thanks a lot instrumental channel for helping me how think and find the perfect solution for the challenge .. with all of my appreciation Mussi
You are best teacher! Ty
As always, great tips!!
I appreciate the love! 🙏
Interesting video, would be nice to see a complete hard surface series developed in Blender, with some complete UV workflow
Great suggestion!

1:49 how are you getting the bevel to not "bevel" and essentially edge loop when you're using bevel?
nevermind I figured it out, shape has to be set to 1
Love the video more method to approach is good, say by any chains are you doing a upcoming video about hair like using shell method or partial system
, backing hair or using texture to make the shell work?
Great suggestion!
youve inspired me to redo my coconut i just made
Glad I this video motivated to tackle your project.
Very true!
I appreciate ya stopping by the comments section!
Is there a reason why you switched over to Blender tutorials?
Probably to reach a bigger audience but apart from that?
Can you do a video of modeling, uv, bake, texture, render, and some tips in a continuous chapter like video form
I have some of those in the works.
Blender noob here - is there a reason why you delete the top/bottom cylinder faces to grid fill? Is it not advisable to have an Ngon there?
Sometimes on those cylindrical poles, you can have shading issues if using a SubD modifier. However if you don't have any shading issues, and your pipeline doesnt require all quads, you should be fine. Flat surfaces are much more forgiving for poles and ngons vs curved surfaces. Hope that helps.
I never thought poking a hole into an object is this hard in Blender
lol, its not.
👈👈Thanks to tutorial providers, I can make good animations by learning on TH-cam🎉🎉❤❤❤
I appreciate ya stopping by the comments section!
I'm not native English speaker but this tutorial looks clear for me
I appreciate the love! 🙏
Can you make a simple video of this in maya
Okay, I just created the video for you, enjoy😀

In a year or two, the AI will handle any Boolean operation better than a human without unnecessary effort.
very unclear tutorial👎
Great tips
Helloo bro,, ineed help,, what your email, my STL. file how bend to bleder?
choose simple problem? how about angled holes in curved surface?
no pain, no gain 😀
Mussi suzy😂😂😂😂
