Hi, everyone! To everyone that's following this tutorial in Blender 4.1, here some things: 1 - Shade Auto Smooth doesn't exist anymore, so you have to go to Modifiers (wrench icon) > Normals > Smooth by Angle and then you Shade Smooth 2 - About the Shrink wrap, if nothing happens, try selecting Negative instead of Positive If I see more diferences throughout the tutorial, I'll edit the comment!

Thank you!
The way you explain each step with a beginner friendly way is amazing. Love the way you take time to take us step by step through the process. Thank you
This is why I always watch anything even a beginners tutorial even after almost 15 years of 3D modeling and 6 with blender, I learned about the "y" shortcut to "yank" faces, I was always doing edge loops and "v", you can always learn something everyday

Yeah, that's so true! I do the same. Every artist have its own little tricks :) ~ Masha
The method of explanation and audio performance, as well as the huge amount of information I got in this video, made me can't believe that I watched this lesson for half an hour in one breath without even blinking. You are really great and the best teacher You are a lovely best teatcher
This is one of the most comprehensive and simple tutorial about using the blender modeling tools I have seen I love it

Thank you for putting this together!
This is definitely THE TUTORIAL for progressing beginners. Amazing 🔥🔥.
Thank you! This is the best blender tutorial I have ever seen for users that for example come from another 3d software or are already using blender and working with it, but have not made most out of it´s fantastic user interface design! Perfect pace, not a second of lost time in this fast track world! :) And such a nice aesthetic! Haha, just read all the similar comments underneath! Well, that speaks for itself!
Great thorough tutorial. Even for those who have many hours of blender under their belt.
thank you straight to the point and a good speed of explaination, not too fast or slow!
Very easy explanation to actually understand why and what we are doing!1 Thank you!!
Thank you so much, very helpful tutorial
This is my first time delving into hard surface modeling and this is amazing! You've taught me so many fundamental concepts I didn't even know existed!
You guys are amazing, thank you!
Just what i need! a Hard-Surface Modeling Guide 😁 Thank you Mr.Louis and CGBoost Community
Thank you!!! You need to make more of this hard-surface modeling videos. This made me much more better at modeling. I will come back after one year and tell my progres.

there is his course which is very useful
Thank you for this tutorial, it’s help me with a better understanding of the shrink wrap modifier and a few other minor things 🙏
the shrink-wrap tip is so awesome! I think use it in a variety of ways, when want to connect only a part of it. It's a really good tip.

This is a very well made tutorial. Good use of shortcuts and good explanation.
I first heard of Louis Du Mont when I got the Robotic Planet course. I’m a big fan now.
Your tutorial is the best tutorial to learn basics of blender in a profound and fun
You made subd modelling look like a walk in the park. Well done, sir.
good job, clear and smooth ! Thank U !
Solid explanation, make it look so easy
So satisfying to watch. I’ve been using a blender for a while but I love to watch good quality tutorials in case I pick up any gems and this certainly does not disappoint. Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Learned many new tricks in this video. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial!
The best modeling beginner tutorial I've ever watched
This has been great! You have showed us so many tools and ways to use them! Thank you so much for making this video. Gained another sub :)
This is an excellent tutorial!
First time in my life I did something from first try, and I love it😍
Very well explained!
the ctrl-2 shortcut had me baffled. I had no idea it existed. I've used blender for 9 years, with addons designed to speed up hard-surface modeling. Just goes to show that periodic refreshers can uncover some small, but useful timesavers that I've missed.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!
I had been wondering about the 'Slice' option in booleans for years... Thank you!
I love this short form content. Great supplement to your more detailed tutorial work 💪
I love this teacher ! simple exemple for create a lot of thing =)
Great tutorial! Followed your instructions and everything worked as expected. I was able to branch out and make the legs a little more interesting using the concepts shown in the video. Best tutorial for modeling a complete object I have come across so far.

good work .
I absolutely love Blender... my last contract was with Warner Media... it wasn't a choice... I got a Maxon 1 floating license... thank God I have been using C4D since R6... the only monetization of blender is being an instructor... there are a lot of you... I TRULY HOPE that Blender will be in the pipeline of major studios... like soon
BESTTTT
Thank you for making such a comprehensive tutorial for hard-surface modeling. I look forward to actually working through it and then moving on to the more advanced course.
great👍
The best of the best
Nice. I never thought to use shrinkwrap on just selected faces to merge parts like that.
Thanks for using vanilla Blender😊
holy shit, i've been using Blender since 2.78 and literally never tried that Add Primitive tool you use at 17:50. i had no idea you could add objects 3ds max style without add-ons.
quick shortcut for the quad sphere, if you ad in a cube and press CTRL+ (number) you will get a subdivided cube divided to the number you pressed. you can then apply the modifier, i think its a little less confusing then the way he showed

Im pretty sure he knows this but for the people in the comments, there are a lot of shortcuts that you can use for view and a lot of other stuff he did in this video For example the view If you press 1 in your numbpad you get the frontview Press 3 and you get a sideview Press 7 and you get a top view Press 9 and you get the inverse of whatever view you have So 1 + 9 would be backview 3 + 9 would be the other side view And 7 + 9 would be bottom view

Sorry for that, unfortunately we only have eng subtitles for our courses and Teachable (the platform we use for streaming of our courses) haven't implemented the automatic translate yet as far as we know. We hope the will add this option soon. ~ Masha
Hi, I'm surprised every time I watch your course or Blender course. It seems like it's easy to produce a great-result. (Not at all in my hands). Thank you for the good video. I have a question. I'm a blender beginner and a longtime Maya user. Based on Maya standards, I think there are a lot of polygons in the result, is this because the blender can operate more polygons? Or is it to produce results faster? Usually, in Maya, if I'm going to make a similar result, I don't go with this much wire right before the wire that the Renderer makes. Of course, I understand that it's going to be similar to Maya in Modifier and Edit mode, but as a result, I think I see a lot of wires Did I misunderstand?
@MotherlessImisswhatitoncewas
9 ай бұрын
its because he has a good computer and its either cpu based (eevee) or gpu based (cycles) and its not cpu intensive because of how its rendered. For his example, he is showing you how to produce fast results rather than a performant model that has say 3k tris. He is around 20k tris.
Hi, what do you think can be the problem if after changing shrinkwrap to project and choosing x axis the handle is not touching the cup anymore?
Great tutorial. We don't have to combine meshes, making it continous? When does it matter?
@cgboost
9 ай бұрын
You may want yo apply modifiers and combine meshes if you're transferring the model from program to program, or to a game engine, but in this case there's no particular reason to and having separate meshes with unique modifiers allows us to jump back in and amend things easily.
In 2:05, goes to wireframe mode doesn't include the X-Ray mode, that's one a little confused me, you need to change to X-Ray as well before selecting the faces for deleting.
Great tutorial! I would only suggest to explain WHAT you do and WHY (imho, it helps to better understand the procedure) instead of listing shortcuts and telling HOW you perform an operation. Btw, thanks!
I cant right click to get to the object context menu when trying to shade auto smooth. Any idea why???
