The normals flipped when you scaled the wall by -1 on the Z axis.

That's not actually correct. Scaling an object by a minus amount should have no impact on the normals of the faces. You can try it just with a standard cube and you'll see it doesn't change it.

Awesome stuff 👍 the linked duplication is absolutely crazy, I never knew that was even possible

@@ArtisansofVaul I was modeling my company logo last week before your video dropped and it’s got like seven of these thin cylinders, and after rendering I wanted to change something and had to fix one and then duplicate and position it all around my mesh. It was a pain and was wondering if there was a way to transfer mesh data! And then you dropped this gem 😅

This is fantastic stuff. I've been struggling to get to grips with Blender for 3d printing for some time and these tutorials are spot on for what I am wanting to achieve. I've seen your video for adding chips to the block edges but is there an easy way to apply a displacement map to the block surfaces so that when they print they have a texture? Keep up the great work!

@ArtisansofVaul

Жыл бұрын

If you mean the video I manually do it on there is another where I show how to program geometry nodes to do it for you which is fun. But they have slightly changed one of the nodes so it needs updating for that one. Using a displacement technique for all these blocks probably wouldn't be a good idea as it would add a LOT of faces/geometry and I'll be doing that a lot already with the wooden beams. I think my computer would die 🤣 Glad the videos are helping though

So cool !! Can't wait to see the next ones 😁 Thanks a lot for creating and sharing your tutorials 🙏

Hello. Do you know how to get this addon to make all bricks pretty even in size? Ive tried but it seems to vary even though i set all sizes and variance to the same value

@ArtisansofVaul

So it's designed to have that variation. If you want all the bricks the same size it would be normal to just use arrays once you made one brick.

@DeputyChiefWhip Depending if you have Hard Ops or are interested in it, this video may be of interest as a way to speed things up a bit: kzread.info/dash/bejne/np13uLVxg7yopZM.html

I was following along with this and got lost at 15:40 ish mark. You made a cube to create a solid wall for the bricks, and then a second cube to cut out the wall shape and middle (I am assuming) but about 10 seconds later it goes from Cube and Cube 001 to just Cube. What did you do to remove Cube 001? The only thing the key guide shows is hitting Shift. I think I may be thrown off if this was just an edit jump and I missed one step I am not thinking of. Did you not need the Cube 001 and just inset the faces on Cube?

@ArtisansofVaul

Жыл бұрын

Oh jesus, that is a bad editing mistake. I was originally going to Boolean out the middle section but then decided it was easier to use the inset method. Stupidly I must have missed the bit when I made the Cube.001. I wonder if I can edit that out of the video to cause less confusion. Basically ignore the duplicating the cube, just select it and follow the steps to inset the middle. Really sorry for the poor editing there.

OK, Ive made a trim to the video as best I can now the video is uploaded (though KZread says it may take a couple of hours to be confirmed) so it should cause less confusion (though cube001 does turn up for half a second). Thanks so much for pointing this out, really really appreciated.😁👍

Жыл бұрын

I assume you mean displacement textures? Its a good questions and there are a few reasons for me in this project: 1. I prefer having more control over the blocks, the gaps between them, the depth of the mortar and being able to change individual ones. 2. As this building as an internal and external texture there would be a lot of seams where the displacement textures would join and it wouldn't mesh together nicely making a visible line. If this was a render that would only be viewed from one angle that could be controlled and it would not be a problem but as it will be 3D printed it will be seen from all angles so those seams would have to be fixed at the joins and I think that would take as much time (probably more) then just doing it this way. 3. The second level will have a lot of wood texture on it so there will be a high number of faces there. If I was to use a displacement texture on the bottom floor it would also be adding a lot of faces and together would potentially really slow down the computer/program which would be annoying. Basically if it was just one wall I probably would use a displacement but for this project as a whole it doesn't feel as suitable.

Oh interesting idea. I'll have a go with that to try it out. Will it still "fill in" the ends?

I wonder if you would consider trying Meshmachine too. With the few things like stash and normal transfer, along with boolean cleanup (along with the function that forces a clean boolean edge around to make it even easier, but Idr that function's name), I think you would appreciate it. Do you realize veteran ZBrush users freak out a little when they see that red matcap? Do you understand how much more difficult it is to watch your videos when I have to change the color of the objects in Davinci Resolve not to get confused all the time? @3:14: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6Zqk9JygpOofLw.html I'm learning to use power windows, so it'll get better over time...

@@ArtisansofVaul The learning curve was so brutal, I persisted because I could make such pretty things... so the brutality lasted months (~8 months about 1,000 hrs)... to this day, I still have twinges of that feeling until I remember I'm good now... I should learn blender's sculpting tools, but it triggers that loving feeling when I knew what I wanted to do, but didn't know what tool to use... and of course Blender names things completely intuitively, like Grab. At the same time every time I see a math problem I immediately think, "oh god, I'll never figure this out..." then I relax into it and something works... I have an adv degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics... I blame my social study teacher in 9th grade teaching me her math fear... I seriously don't think the feeling will ever subside, but I could do it until the felling dissipates, just like a woman's love for her bf/husband/partner because familiarity breeds contempt. Haven't tried it _yet_ for ZBrush, Blender GNs or that freakin Red Matcap of doom I always changed in my start file in ZBrush...

Scaling to a minus number shouldn't reverse the faces (the outside should still be outside). At least when I have done it in the past, unless it's something that's changed for Blender 3.6. I'll have an experiment.
