Public service announcement: at 4:18 I accidentally cut out the part where I added a Subdivision Surface modifier. Exit edit mode, go to the wrench tab on the lower right of your screen. Click on the add modifier's dropdown button and select subdivision surface. Then set your viewport levels and render levels both to 2. Sorry for all the pain I've caused! ha!

Love the look of that lil guy!

Holy crap. After this I think I can create a variety of classic SW droids. And some ideas with other Sci-Fi stuff. Thank you so much!

Thanks for a great tutorial. I've spend the last year following tutorials on YT and skillshare, but the way you show the logic in Blender is very appealing to me. It's not at all frustrating to follow or understand, and I'm slowly understanding the modelling and texture/node-part. I often compare the functions to the functions in the "world" I'm coming from (I'm from REAPER DAW, so a colorramp-node would be like a lp/hp-filter, the hierarki-functions is like track-drawers etc). Thanks! And thanks for not including bg music. I've spend a couple hours today doing this (the texture part was really fun!) listening the The Midnight. This combo really makes me relax and focus!

Those droids are star wars worthy. They should be in the next mandalorian season

Thanks for the tutorial

very helpful, thanks

looking forward to it

yes exactly what i needed

this is quality many thanks

thanks, the greeble and imperfection shader tecnic are Great . With emission light on voronoi texture and the result is greater very good tuto 😁👍

thanks 😍

Wishing for a Imperial Probe Droid tutorial in 2024 :)

changing specular throws off realism also. It's basically IOR, you can even make a node tree to input IOR value there

For all of you who ran into a problem at 16:23. First, you have to extrude the square, then hit escape without moving it, scale it in, and pull it in. and repeat that step again and you should get a pretty good oval and circle shape. You may not need to scale it the second time.

At 2:20 the word "isometric" was misused (and that's super-duper easy to do, Chris knows his stuff and just flubbed the term, as anyone who makes videos has done at least once, but for those who are trying to learn correct terminology): • Orthographic: head-on (front, side, top, etc., at 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270° on every axis) • Isometric: 45°x/-45°y/45°z view, commonly used in video games to simulate perspective, and in technical rendering to show as much detail in one view as possible • Perspective: Literally every other angle Just clearing that up... do keep making excellent videos!

When I try to do a grid fill after adding the loop cut (4:15) I get an error saying "Grid Fill Loops are not connected by wire/boundary edges". It's driving me mad, can someone help me?

Great tut Bailey!--love your work with nodes especially. I do have a question though. Around 4:18, you select the four faces from the grid fill, then the video suddenly moves to where you have the object in object mode after the extrusion. At this point, the edges of the extruded geometry are rounded--nice and smooth. When I extrude the four faces, the edges are sharp and don't look as good as yours. How did you achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Sorry dan! I cut out an imortant step. You need to add a subdivision surface modifier after you exit edit mode. Have a look at the new pinned comment above. Thanks for the heads up!

how you extrude in round shape. 16:42????

Very Nice Tutorial! When you mirror your object it's not working besause you have to apply your transformes (Location rotation scale). Juste givin ou a tip ;)

Thanks for this exciting Totorial. I just have one Problem in 8:06. when i extrude these thin faces, there is some some extra faces here and there and its not so clean, do you clean it later?

How did you do the rounded insets 40:12

which version

how you are extruding in a different shape than the actual shape of FACE? It’s on 16.30. Mine always take shape of face and also drag little area of surrounding faces

Thanks for this video, very cool, But I transform it to not copy, just lean technical

Which video did you do that you rigged this droid ??? Cheers MR H

the gridd fill in the begining doesnt so the grid like you but weird lines

i have been trying to figure out what happens from 4:20 to 4:21, before the cut in the video the sphere geometry is rough and the extrusion has hard edges after the cut your sphere is smooth and and all hard edges are gone edit: i think? i know what happened during the cut in the video, added a sub div mod and then added 2 loops to the extruded geometry and dragged those to the top/bottom

Thanks, your comment helped me out. I did the following: 1. Tabbed out to Object mode. 2. Added a Subdivision modifier of 3. 3. Extruded the four squares. 4. Added a loop cut to the bottom and another loop cut to the top of the extruded square.

what happened 4:20 and 4:21 please help, when i extrude it i get an cube, instead of nice round surface

I just repeat the grid fill. When I first did the grid fill I realised it was messing up the edge loop cut line I wanted to make so I deleted the faces, did the edge loop cut and then did the grid fill a second time. Hope that makes sense.

I still have yet to figure out how to extrude a circle in to one square face. Ive looked all over the place! help me ! :(

Can't get that oval shape on the Droid's head at 16.26 minutes, any help, please ?

select the head - go into edit mode - select a face (or a number of neighbouring faces) - inset those faces (shortcut is the I key); he has a subdivision modifier on the head, so the inset area should appear rounded; you can scale the inset area to get the shape you want

At 04:14 there's an abrupt editing (a bit is missing). Or it seems so to me.

Getting frustrated with this tutorial if this is for beginners you should explain the things you’re doing instead of pressing shortcuts so quickly it’s hard to follow along when I don’t know exactly what’s being pressed. You extruded the bottom of the sphere and skipped how you did it….you’re going so fast it’s like you’re talking yourself through the tutorial not someone just starting to learn.

For a tutorial you really rushed through this one.
