One out of the tip of my head: how to create (an editable) face with n-gons out of an empty edge loop (and not a flat face wich in the best case scenario will be barely workable with an "inset" command)? Thanks!

E for even and F for flip, got it!

and bridge edge loops in the context menu is L, so that you can go CTRL+E, L and get it done without even moving your mouse

Thank you for saving my life 😭->😀

This is wonderful. Will help modeling airplanes.

Impressive video. Btw, do you know if there is an automatic (addon) or semi-automatic way to turn an existing object into a mesh. Basically you would select an Axis and the number of "slices" and the addon would cut the existing object into slices (optimally with the same number of vertices) which you then loft together. Maybe if could also automatically set the distance between slices. If there is a lot of "change" between slices, it would add more slices, if it is just a straight tube without changes, it would just set one slice at the beginning and one slice at the end of the tube. I hope I explained it clearly?

How do you make a shape's edges the same number as a different shape in order to bridge the faces?

Can you revolver a Profile around an axis in blender? Ending closed and sircular

I am designing a drilling rig and that's exactly what I was looking for.

@AidyBurrows3D

4 жыл бұрын

a drilling rig! That's a good example! :) For certain structures, you can just model the edges without faces and then use a skin modifier, or keep the faces and use the wireframe modifier, but it often doesn't hold up very well if it's close up stuff which is where this sort of lofting approach helps a lot more. :)

Wow that is amazing, I loved how it found faces that were not needed. Is there somewhere I can learn more about this? And thank you so much for this video.

how do you change the path to objects? Thanks so much

In this I noticed you selected back vertices along with front. Generally I can't select back vertices from front. I have to rotate and select or go in Wireframe mode and select. Can someone tell me how to achieve this?

Is there a way to select two edge loop and automatically make them to have the same number of vertices or you have to always check and do it manually??

ace

my head is spinning. But damn useful

You have to be called super user #. I don't use bridge like that. Thats awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

why say to me in minute 2:16 " select at least two edge loops " its not work with me what i do

This is a great tutorial, but there are so many options I despair at the thought of learning them all.

Hi I recommend you make the edges and lines more Thick and colors more viable for the videos you make. You can make a theme just for recording this stuff (set blender dpi on 1.25 or more). many thanks.

How would this work when making models for games? Wouldn't this method create a ton of Ngons?

@AidyBurrows3D

4 жыл бұрын

I didn't use ngons in these examples. You could use ngons if you wanted though, Keep them to flat areas and it should be ok, but, to be on the safe side you can also use a triangulate modifier to force the preferable triangulation method for the model at export. Hope that makes sense. 🙂

Why did you choose "bridge edge loops" instead of loop tools "bridge?" I never thought to use the 3d printing thing to vet my mesh, tyvm for that, it reminds me a little of the C4D mesh tool... If you do slide edges around, how would you do so and keep the curvature you want, not reenforce the linear approximation of the curvature?

@AidyBurrows3D

4 жыл бұрын

the loop tools bridge doesn't allow you to loft through more than 2 shapes at the same time as far as i know. Though that could be a current bug as I think it's probably supposed to be able to. I'd probably only slide edges around near intersections of joints to tighten or smooth out the blend. Hope that makes sense. :)

I love blender but, I reject this description of a loft :) It's not a loft its a just a bridge polygons. Blender can't do a real loft using cruves. It can do tubes with cruves but thats about it. Search for lofts in Maya or XSI.

@AidyBurrows3D

Yeah that would be very cool if we could do that with curves is lofting really a curve exclusive term though? :D It's a term that comes before even 3D curves were a thing if i'm not mistaken. :D Feels reasonable to use the description here for creating geometry that passes interpolated smoothly through more than 2 mesh shapes.

That said Im happy blender is around, can''t stand Maya :) Thanks for the tutorial.

Blender is always crashing, weather its HDRI too big, Graphics cards settings, subdivision instability. The fact is you get what you pay for. Spent a whole year learning this software, gave up after one crash too many. And the modelling functionality is poor compared with even C4D. (even if you know what you are doing). Lost countless hours through crashes (on different hardware set-ups), decided to go with paid software. I can't blame them really, who would care about creating software without getting paid?? Charity software won't get you a job.
