Hello I've just started learning Blender this week and I am very impressed. If your about to start on the Blender journey I would recommend the following. * “Switching to Blender 2.8 for Advanced 3D Artists” by FlippedNormals * Then the famous Donut tutorial by BlenderGuru * Then go onto the LightSaber tutorial again by…
So many cool ways of doing this! I love this thread. Thank you for the tips and gifs everyone! @FrankPolygon I had been told about typing values during transform ops but it only just clicked now. This is so much better and typing 45 is so easy! About doing the math though... This does nothing for me: As soon as I hit /,…
Pior, Pixologic added to Zbrush the Zmodeler "brush", "subdivision surface modelling in Zbrush", and Zbrush it's not called "Modo" precisely. They saved us a lot of time adding features we already have in Modo or Max. Once you are customed to work with a tablet pencil, using a mouse is like something really primitive, not…
Yeah, i think the same. I have some hopes with Blender. In my case, with an already stablished workflow, they must do better in order to make people like me to switch completely to Blender. I'm not going to break my workflow and going back 15 years in my life using obsolete apps like 3ds Max. Furthermore, modo 14 will…
I totally agree, Jonathan. More often than not I find that Blender has a negative reputation among many professionals and though it is getting better, it is still a problem. I have been using Blender for years and have been flamed out of BlenderArtists/elysiun on numerous occasions for suggesting features or improvements…
@tynew : working without a gizmo is probably the biggest (and positive) paradigm shift indeed. There are a couple more things too : • Off-hand transformation (there is no official name for that, that's just what i call it). The idea is that on top of not having to grab any onscreen gizmo, there is also no need to grab onto…
@musashidan I will watch these, thank you for sharing your findings with us. I'll watch it next week though, since I need to start preparing for a trip now. I'm so slow haha...But learning new software is exciting! During the creation of this bolt head, these were my main concerns during the modeling: * Any one-button…
@pior Thank you for the informative answers :) I'm really learning a lot from your inputs, you being the Blender user with more experience in knowing how all the systems relate with each other. For the pivot thing, I was just looking for a Pivot-To-Bottom solution because it's something I do pretty frequently in my work.…
First off, xrg's videos are awesome and a big reason I wanted to pick Blender up and give it a try. kat's tutorials were also helpful for clearing up a few points. I've been trying out Blender for the past couple of days. I think I'm having similar hangups as SHEP did coming from a background using Max. I was foolish at…
LookDev is basically Eevee, but with instant HDRIs built-in for faster material, reflections etc. viewing. Once you enable both "Scene Lights" and "Scene World", it's identical to "Rendered" which is Eevee if you have Eevee selected instead of Cycles. Also, if you're working with a heavy scene with lots of caclulated…
