@StormShadowGFX-go5xq Your welcome! Thanks for watching.

@peko1967 A couple hundred? Maybe if you're making an RTS or working on a mobile game. Either way, if your goal is a few hundred, just model it in Blender. A few hundred polygon models in Blender would only take about 15 minutes to make. I have not covered any game modeling yet on the channel. Most of what I am trying to show is if you want to 3D print your models. Thanks for watching.

5k polys is a good budget. In this case you bring this plasticity hi model into your poly modeling app, retopo this hi geo to make the LODs including the 5K LOD A, and then bake a normal map, and texture in substance or whatever etc. etc. But a couple hundred would be for lower budget stuff like a vr game, or LOD E or F of a AAA game. ( I'm a former professional game artist )

@bzikarius I agree. I wish everyone would make the switch, but people in the USA grew up using Imperial, and they don't want to switch. I have to use both units at work every day, and it makes things a real pain. Thanks for watching.

@bzikarius Im glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.

@Dina_tankar_mina_ord In this specific case, adding fillets to the bottom of the cube first would not work. It would make the connection of the joining faces even more complicated. I originally showed that in the video, but it got too long, so I cut it out. Thanks for watching.

@overseastom I agree. There was something about the original models that was fascinating. I also had a few of these toys and models growing up, including the Transformer Jetfire. I have a bunch of pieces printed out already and should have a video coming soon showing the latest progress on the build. Thank you for the comments and stay tuned to see the build!

@MrSzwarz For me, it shows up where all the other add-on tabs are along the right side of the main viewport.

My pleasure; thanks for watching.

I'm glad it was helpful. Yes, depending on your use case, UV will need to be done. Thanks for watching.

@stevenchilders272 Great series, one of my favorites. Thanks for watching.

@Halllbert Thanks for the reply, and thanks for watching.

@Hitsujioyaji I have 2 Halot Mage Pro 8k printers and a K1 Max. Thanks for watching!

@modelenginerding6996 I picked up the model kit from the hobby store for the model sheets. The kit is way smaller than I want, so I am printing one at a much larger scale. The ones online are very low resolution, so I understand what you're saying. I scanned the sheets at 600 dpi, which came out very clear & clean.

@@philprocariojr3563 Very cool. That's a great idea. I'm loving Plasticity for those kinds of projects.

@modelenginerding6996 It's incredible how quickly you can model things in Plasticity compared to other CAD apps. It has been a handy tool for model-making.

My pleasure; thanks for watching!

@pixerone8106 Thanks for watching and the sub.

@esslinger74 Thanks for watching and taking the time to reply.

@andriangontsa7139 My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

@georgegeluna6217 I was trying this the other day. I ran a bunch of parts through the Quad Remesher plugin and found that the results depend on the complexity of the geometry. The more complex the model, the more polygons it took to get a usable mesh. I couldn't get the polygon count down where I wanted it on the complex parts. Once I figure out the best settings, I plan to make a video on the results. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome: thanks for watching.

@Brocknoviatch Not sure exactly what you mean since there are many different instances of this. As far as I know no. In some cases you could use the match face command.

@alienmorf www.aliasworkbench.com/ Thanks for watching.

@hchattaway That's how it works when you use the place command. If it created pieces rather than just cutting away, such as nuts or bolts, they would appear in the outliner. So, essentially, it cuts the feature away and leaves a single solid object.

@ennisyui The cutter is just a simple solid that encompasses the feature. It does matter, but the method you use needs to match the piece you're putting in it and whether or not you want them separate or as a water-tight single piece.

@dietmarreiss9248 It is good to hear that you found it useful. I am glad it helped.

@DmitriSkif I hit Ctrl-D.

@Adam-Levy I completely agree. I have seen that they plan to add history at some point in the future, but I am not sure when. My other CAD system has a history; to be fair, it also comes with its own set of issues. The only way I have ever seen history done where it is not a nightmare is when it is done as a node setup rather than a tree. So, I hope that when they add history, it will be in a node form. Otherwise, history will add a lot of complexity and force you to spend a massive amount of time on design intent. That would make the conception phase of Plasticity slow and non-intuitive. Right now, I just group all my construction elements and hide them so that it is pretty fast and simple if I need to make changes. It is not perfect but it works. Thanks for watching.

@dsngjoe2 Did you change your Grid size and accent lines? Also, you could try Ctrl-Shift-R a couple of times. I have not heard of this, but you might want to file a bug report.

I am having the same problem.

@dsngjoe2 @jamesswartz2203 Try hitting the number 3 on your Numpad and see if the grid shows up.

@AnthonyHayesAbyssartsStudio I used to think that way, but if you learn the shortcuts or set up your own, I don't think you will miss the shelf.

You're welcome; thanks for watching.

You're welcome; glad you found it useful, and thank you for watching.

Your welcome. Thanks for watching.

Not sure I understand. You can adjust and undo the boolean, but there is currently no history, so you would have to hit ctrl+z to undo and re-adjust.

@pranavtyagofficial Thanks for watching. I plan to make a bunch more videos covering this subject. They take a lot of time to make, so I can't tell you how fast I will be able to post them. Another issue I have right now is we lack the analysis tools in Plasticity, for example the curvature comb. Without these tools it is had to show a lot of things. Take a look at this page, as it has a lot of valuable information. www.aliasworkbench.com/theoryBuilders/TB2_nurbs2.htm www.aliasworkbench.com/

@kingcognito Thanks for watching. I agree that, depending on your individual use case, you may need to rework the topology in some cases. If I were going to use models in a video game, I would probably rework them, but I usually make actual real-world physical models from my designs, so in my case, I don't need to. My main focus right now is to show people how to work with the tools in their current state of development.

I agree with the ngons and the amount of clean up required. Disagree about the game models needing to be much lower res - unless we’re talking about mobile. Most other platforms can handle polygons just fine and there is no need for jagged visible polyedges in modern games. In fact, it’s often sensible to save time and move to the next asset, rather than optimize everything down to their last vertices and/or go with few more polygons to avoid those long thin triangles that can clog up the shader pipeline.

@marsmotion You are correct, Plasticity is not a good fit for everyone. I always tell people to use whatever tools they are comfortable with. At the end of the day, it's the results that matter, not the tool you get there with. I also try not to tell people how things should be done because it's different for each person. At the end of the day people should just be creating great things and having fun doing it.

@stupidity_incarnate Thanks for watching!

My pleasure; thanks for watching.

@jameshakola3603 Thank you for the feedback! I'm a big Macross fan, for sure. It's something else I grew up on. I just finished the gun, and I am working on the VF-OS now so I can make a custom 4' tall version with my spin on the design. I like the idea of using a V-shaped scribe line. I had planned on doing a video of a few other methods as well, maybe I can add that method to the video. Thank you for the sub and for helping me grow the channel!

Thank you for watching! It's nice to know people are finding my videos useful!
