The dark line down the center was caused by there being a face inside the geometry. When you extruded the back it created the face. Whenever you extrude along a mirror you should turn off the mirror to find and delete any interior faces.

Extrude Along Normals is more effective at keeping your inset extrusions the correct size and shape than just using extrude

I've been using Blender for a while now, but there's always something to learn from your videos. Today I learned about Snapping, and especially "Align rotation to target". To think of all the time I've wasted carefully placing things by hand. I have to try out these things immediately, and then tell my son (another Blender fan) about it, so that I don't forget them.

YAAAASSSS this is exactly the kind of tutorial I am looking for. I love Hard surface stuff, but I am never sure of myself on what to do or how to fix annoying errors in shading. Watching your workflow is exactly what I needed to figure some stuff out. Super cool ship btw!

I made some awful things in Blender, didn't thought there are some legends that make it better than realistic, I don't know how to appreciate you, buddy, keep up the great work.

You know you usually watch tutorials for something specific but watching your videos are always so insightful for the little tips and techniques you include in them. Great video!

Hey Chris, another cool tutorial 😁👍 I'd only say, each time you make those small gaps like you do at 18:30 (and I've seen it in another tutorial as well) you bevel the edges, then hit E and S to extrude and scale them inwards. But the result will always be a little skewed. The best thing would be to hit Alt+E to Extrude Along Face Normals. This will give much better results. Oh by the way, talking about extruding and scaling: it's a bit confusing to say Inset is the same as extruding and scaling only that it saves a couple of key presses... this may be right for a single face, but just select two connected faces on a simple cube and compare the two methods, that's such a huge difference. And that's something you cannot do with E+S.

I need to start using Alt + E Thanks @gordon! That sounds way better - and I never realised the difference that insetting multiple faces at once has compared to extruding and scaling. So helpful as always! Thanks for helping figure this stuff out! high fives 👋

@@CBaileyFilm You're very welcome 😁 The Alt+E option would also help with the rings on the greeble spheres... you won't have to switch pivot points back and forth.

Thank you so much for this video, I just came across it the other day. Was building a spaceship model to 3d-print for a Starfinder game and was trying to figure out a good way to break up the bland and uniform look of the ship and the greebos really helped me a lot.

if motion blur added then it would be even so real. Really nice

Now there’s something I’ve been looking forward to

Thank you so much for the video. I'm in the process of making a few such models in Blender and just needed inspiration for a workflow. I felt a bit stuck on the basic shape and thinking of how to proceed and what can come of it. You did a great job of giving me an outlook of what to do and what to expect.

One thing i think i can add (i mean you taught me SO much) is the mirror by object modifier. If you added a mirror modifier to your engines, you can select the ship as the mirror object and you don't have to fiddle with array offsets.

The default cube was rescued from destruction! Haha

VERY good tutorial. I'm glad to see a good tutorial that isn't basically an advertisement for some $60 add-on. I really enjoyed it, and I VERY much appreciate it!

CBaileyFilm I rarely comment on tutorials but yours are very cool, calm and well thought through. As a founding member of Corel and Director of Product Development, your ability to show how a product can be used is one, soothing and two, you make Blender a more interesting product to use. I enjoy your tutorials with relish and mustard. Where the He*l is the Hot Dog? You don't miss a thing, well done CBaileyFilm....

That's pretty nice! I'm so glad you made a video about greebles and such, because I've always wondered how someone would go about doing this. Nice work! Also, I really enjoyed the timelapse of just placing all the details and such. Really makes me want to get back into making stuff in Blender!

Like the first 4 min setting up mirrored and bevel with autosmoot/shade smooth/weighted normal, with addons takes like 2sec ( damn i love hardops and boxcutter :D )

Man! we need to see the Roughness node tree in the main material. so good! Please show us the whole material setup at the end just for like 5 secs next time. I usually get stuck in the materials part. never knew we can do so much with just 3 greebles :)

personal stamps for learning 4:57 press Z and S at the same time 5:00 double tap A to deselect all 5:03 E to extrude 5:18 loop cut = ctrl R and scale w/ S and Z at the same time (S first then Z) 5:25 face mode deletes camera and light 6:13 I = inset 6:46 ctrl + b = bevel 7:34 making side jets 7:53 making back engines

For the hatches/pipes and such you couod probably make then there own collections to add instances of that collection so changes carry across all of them. Might be better for performance to depending on how many there is

11:00 you can extrude along normals with Alt+E

Awesome drop ship I’m running 2.79 struggling with basic cutting and mirror if I could design my own drop ship be nice thanks fellow blender advice please guys

Nice toturial! When you create the cylinder for the engines, how do you create it as a new object? When I create a new cylinder it gets added to Cube with the mirror modifier on, and ends up creating 2 cylinders at a time. Its difficult to edit.

Quick tip: recalculate normals is SHIFT + N

hastag that passion heehhehehe

Awesome tutorial. I assume once your done modeling you then parent all the greebles to the main ship?

I'm having some issues with constraint loops. I try to use them on a singular piece of my spaceship, but it sharpens the edges of the whole model.

I love sci fi and i have been trying to do sci fi but for me the base mesh is the easiest it is just that all the small details like the pipes are so frustrating. I love Ian Hubert art style sort of dystopian cyberpunk but i always fail at the details part.

@CBaileyFilm

3 жыл бұрын

Just try to make one or two small detail bits like I did and then manually place them on your object. You can use that approach for a lot of different objects and it works really well for detail. Good luck!

could you do a star destroyer with more complicated parts on its surface for a paid course? :)

@11:00 and @12:00 you should have used shrink/fatten instead of just scale and move. Would have achieved the same result, scale along normals.

Please please please make a shading tutorial of the spaceship from the clip attached in beginning of video. Or at least link snapshot of the nodes. Some thing please. I want my spaceship too look good. The modelling's gone waste if it ain't looking good. So please make a shading and compositing tutorial for this.

Hi @Alfred yes the full video on Patreon or for channel members on youtube goes over the materials and how to create some extra lights on the surface of the ship with geometry nodes. I don't go over any compositing in the video and I also don't create the jet flashes - I did that stuff afterward off stream but there's nothing fancy going on with those parts. All of the heavy lifting is coming from the shader.

I love how you often forget to turn on clipping with your mirror, then have an issue down the center of the model and adjust all the other modifiers to fix it. I may or may not have been guilty of this as well once or twice.

What the heck? Did you just give up? It just ended out of no where….please finish and do a second one with texturing..
