Blender Secrets - 5 minutes of N-Gons to Quads tips

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

N-gons are sometimes created as part of the modeling process. Although they are fine in flat surface that are not meant to be deformed, quad topology is usually preferred in all other cases. In this video we look at several methods for turning N-gons (and triangles) into Quads.

    I think a good way to do this, is that when you see a tip that you like or you want to learn, you should open up a blender project or a new blender project, and literally actually put the tip into some type of use. this begins the process of training your muscle memory. that way in the future if you ever need it for an actual purpose, you'll have already done it in the past and you'll be more likely to remember it. I don't know if I've actually tried this, but logically it makes sense

    Great tipps in the video! For the first case (The leaf) one can also use the "Boundary Aligned Remesh" Addon (free), which nicely remeshes such a shape to tris. I can also much recommend the "leafig" addon (payed) for skipping the "i traced a leaf" part.

So simple and just easily solves every little problem I was having with adding higher geometry to a specific face so I can get high quality results of the displacement map. So refreshing.

I created the map to only affect a small area of the model, basically an ngon like your leaf. I've been struggling with how to both fill it with a grid and change the density. Thanks!

    Maybe you know how can I make retopology faster with hard surface models. I transfer them from CAD program to Blender, and make them as low poly as i can, but with all details. The problem is that there are a lot of non connected polygons, and such retopology by hand is quite time consuming, even if I use moi3d with smart converting alghoritm. I use a lot of tricks from your book, but maybe there are some tricks or nice addons. Would love to hear some advice.

    Great info as usual and finally prompted me to buy your digital book. In newer Blender (3.3.0 LTS) there seems to be a bug with the first tip cutting faces with knife project due to selecting the two objects in viewport then switching to edit mode. When attempting to perform the knife project you receive error: "No other selected objects have wire or boundary edges to use for projection" As workaround: * In object mode of the 3D viewport select the leaf object. * Switch to Edit mode. * In the Outliner Ctrl-select click your cutting plane. You should see your leaf and cutting plane selected in the Outliner. * Running the Knife project should now work.
