The thing I love about your tutorials is that you explain in-depth why you should use certain methods. This is pure gold and a refreshing change! Keep up the great vids Chris.

I model in a traditional way from about 25 years by now and still learning. This man has way a lot to share. Keep'em coming!

Thank you, I learned a lot of things. this will help a lot

I love the Double bevel modifier trick for different parts of the mesh. I always running into bevel shading issues/ glitches! Thanks for the great video!

Yeah, the Bevel modifier has its place but it can also be finicky at times. So you have to determine its value on a case by base basis.

Thanks a lot. Your tutorials always ooze technique and even after years I always still learn something new.

Some really great tips here, thank you

Hey man, I got to say. I've been following you for a few months now and never got around to comment, but I wanted to say I find your videos very useful and to the point. I've been into 3D on and off for the last 6 years (mostly as a hobby, now trying to get into it professionally) and your videos really helped me cement some techniques and workflows that I feel helped me step up my game! Keep up the good work :)

Commenting again after finishing the video. You managed to resolve an issue I've always had with using the bevel modifier because I didn't realize the filled faces were directly related to where the modifier would produce bad geometry. Thanks so much!

Yeah, it would be useful if Blender had proper edge group or selection sets.

@@christopher3d475 I used this method last night and found that when you have an edge with a bevel weight intercept with an edge that's part of a bevel vertex group you have interesting behaviour. One issue I keep running into is Blender bevels the loopcut between the two loops that are part of the vertex group, even if I unassign them like you do in your video. I also keep running into an issue where the edge that is beveled by the bevel weight doesn't seem to be able to be assigned to the vertex group, and even if it shows as assigned, it doesn't bevel. Have you ran into these problems using the dual modifier method in this video?

Amazing! So many details and tips in this video. Thanks for that!

For the first cutout you did, a faster way I like to use is manifold extrude, snap to the other face, then I delete that face. This joins the veticies together and when you delete the face you don't have to rebuild everything. I also have a shortcut created for manifold extrude so I don't have to find it everytime. I still love how you show and use many key and tools that most people either glaze over or just don't mention at all.

That sounds like a great tip, I'll take a look at the manifold extrude option.

Excellent tutorial, thank you very much. I'm starting to understand how things work.

Now i understand ❤ thanks

Another great quality tutorial! You're so good at modelling, can I request something: can you make a mylar zipper bag tutorial sometime?

I'll take a look at it.

good bevel tip !

If i'm a beginner, which video do you recommend me to watch first?

awesome tut as usual. btw on the theme topic: you know you can just change the viewport background color to better see wireframes right? :D you don't need to change the whole theme, you can just go to the shading little drop down and set the background as "viewport" then set the preferred color :)

Yep, that's also another great way of dealing with profile visibility. I'll probably record the next tut with that method. But overall I generally prefer the light theme, it's what I use mostly, but I get a lot of complaints when I use it.

Good info. Will you do the top part of the stapler in another video?

I'm thinking of it.

just opened the video and I'm super excited, thank you in advance!

I actually use the light theme, its much nicer

Yeah, I do to. But when I've used it in the past for tutorials, I usually get comments asking why I used an old version of blender, lol.

Hello Chris, thank you for the time and effort you put into each tutorial. In one of you videos you imported a model from Moi and stressed not to change I believe the normal data that is baked into the file. I use Moi just a little and PTC Creo Freestyle extensively, both allow for importing .obj files and can convert the geometry to NURBS. I’m curious to know if the vertex weighting, shading, edge data, normals, .etc settings gets baked into the export. My aim is that the geometry and shading upon import “look” the same and do not require manually reapplying these conditions.

If you're importing polygon-based data into a NURBS modeler for conversion to a NURBS surface, I doubt MOI or other similar apps will use the transported normal data. They're simply looking at the raw geometry for this conversion.

@@christopher3d475 I appreciate the reply. I'll experiment some and let you know what I discover.

G😯🤯D!

This feels like an extremely over encumbered workflow. And it only works on exactly those kinds of objects: very regular, right angles, straight, flat surfaces. In other words: exactly the kind of object which is super easy to fix and change, even with a destructive workflow.

The point of this tutorial wasn't to say, here's the best way to model this particular object, but to show the potential use of these modifiers and caveats that might show up with their use. A user can make that decision for their use on a case by case basis. For this object, yes, directly modeling it without modifiers would have had less overhead.
