Blender Tutorial 14 – Geometry Nodes made Easy

Watch on YouTube This was not the video I was planning on making tonight. My goal was to record a video for the main channel. But the weather lately has been so weird, and it’s too cold to record in the main shed. So I pulled up the green screen and recorded a Blender Tutorial instead. That’s what this channel …

Blender Tutorial 13 Precision movement

Watch on YouTube I’ve decided to commit to a face in my videos to see if that helps them. It definitely makes it easier to keep things moving when there’s nothing going on screen, especially with the intros and whatnot. Big thanks to Josh JRT3D of the Recreator3D project, I’ve had a bit of a project this week in figuring …

Why do my exported models look bad? Video

Watch on YouTube The first time I saw smooth shading it was called “phong” shading, and it was used on the video game “Tie Fighter”. And I thought it looked terrible back then. But people were excited about it. And it’s been with us ever since. Of course if your base mesh is already smooth enough, this can be the …

Modeling a limited edition Birdie Happy meal Toy

Watch on YouTube After the print and support removal fiasco, I decided the model needed more beefy legs. So the version you can download will be iterated on the one seen in this video. The big question of this video is “Which character should I do next?” and I’m still not sure which one I want to do to finish …

Blender Tutorial 12 Edit Mode Modeling

Watch on YouTube I made an entirely different octopus for the thumbnail. I have no idea what to say about that. I just wanted to use that line in the thumbnail. With this video I have no more videos in the pipe waiting to upload for the Blender for 3DPrinting channel. The pipeline has been clogged somewhat with a video …

Sliceworx Kingroon KP3S Pro S1 Review

Watch on YouTube This review may be getting a sequel. I just got the Kingroon KP3S pro. The original one. From Kingroon. And it came with an upgrade kit. SO I guess it’s going to be a comparison of 3 different printers. Un-upgraded, upgraded, and upgraded out of the box by Sliceworx. Each of these come at a different price, …

Is the Kokoni Soti kickstarter a scam?

Watch on YouTube I actually recorded two versions of the video. After finishing one recording, I realized I wanted to better delineate the parts between the unbiased evaluation of what we know so far, and the righteous indignation. And while I wanted to make sure Kikoni had the space to do the right thing, the front presentation of the video …

Can you trust reviewers? Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus Review

Watch on YouTube Jokes aside, what do you think of the chin fuzz? I think I’m gonna try keeping it for a while this time. I was going to wait until the dark patches on the side lightened up. But my 5 year old daughter requested I grow it out, so I just went for it. It wasn’t until I …

Someone to Lava Blender Sculpt

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 …
