Watch on YouTube This method of just sculpting the whole thing is not what I’d call my usual way of working. In this case I’d probably work with a low resoluion mesh and add texturing with a displace modifier, so that the low poly mesh remains. But this sort of thing is still a functional way to work, especially for …
Watch on YouTube It’s actually been a hot minute since I made my last Blender tutorial video. Those first 10 were made in basically one whirlwind session. But once I got to the part where I had Blender configured properly, I focused my time on producing other content. But I’m back making tutorials. And there’s going to be 2 on …
PrintABox – AirWing – Moon Buggy – Tank – Lion – Battle Snail With the changes in the weather, I’ve been unable to use my printing shed for, you know, printing, so I’ve decided to do some remodeling. It’s been a slow process, but is getting to the point that I can start filming out there again, so expect some more regular content soon. Then …
Watch on YouTube There was a whole section on this video about the stripes that I had to cut out for time. Otherwise this would have been a 40 minute video, and even with my current plan that just feels like too much right now. But modeling the stripes started out as me trying to wrap another mesh around the …
Watch on YouTube I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. I first heard about Luma and checked out their site on the 14th. And then it took me until Tuesday to figure out how to bake textures like this so I could work the displace. And after posting about it on Twitter, and getting an overwhelmingly positive …
Watch on YouTube Check out Blender for 3D Printing In making a video there’s often things you want to say, but that you have to cut, either because they don’t go with the flow or they don’t fit tonally, or they’re distracting from the point. As in the past, this blog is where I get to address those things. If …
Watch on YouTube No one reads this blog, so I’m safe to say whatever I want here. I really put myself out in this one. This is the video that might define my channel. I’m piggy backing on a popular brand, yes, and I might have to keep doing that for this channel to be successful. I hope that goes …
Watch on YouTube 1 hour. 1 hour to record, upload, make a thumbnail, and upload on YouTube. A little longer to type this. Now, if I could only isolate that his in my microphone. Admittedly this wasn’t recorded under the ideal audio circumstances. My Bambulab Carbon X1 was doing an AMS print to the side while I was recording and …
Watch on YouTube The last time I made a series like this, it was because Blender 2.8 turned a corner in the User Interface and Blender was finally easy to use. However, my Beginner’s build to Blender 2.8/2.9 quickly became dated when Blender 3.x changed things again. Not a lot, but just enough that this new series is definitely necessary. …
Watch on YouTube You know, you can plan and prepare all you want. Nothing makes you ready to hit “go” on a new endevor. This is the first real video I’m uploading to my new Blender for 3D printing channel, and it is terrifying. I started this channel from the ground up, which means if I’m going to be monotized, …
