For anyone stuck at 02:22. Once you've made the house with the roof, duplicate it and move the roof away from the house before separating it. So, you still have the house with the original roof as an object and the new roof as a separate object. Then reposition it over the original house, slightly higher on the Z axis. This will stop the problem with the boolean not cutting off the clapboard. Hope this helps.
@@aesthetic_quote Man, I was making this house again, but I have problems still, should I copy and separate the roof when the house is practically a square?

@@zenmonk5403 Often it is just the lack of money. The earlier you run out of money, the less time you have to fix and improve the gameplay. Thus if we want have good games, we as players have to pay for them.
Disabling the clamping with "c" after you press "g" twice to slide the vertices on the edge beyond the point of the vertex, is legit something I was looking for for years and gave up on finding it long time ago. Thanks!
Works well while sliding outwards and horrible while sliding inwards because each side behaves according to nearby vertices. Their pace are different if their shape are different.
@@blenderguru It's always worth spending extra time figure something like that out... when you have the time. :) Guess it's often not that feasable in a production setting, but you still learn a lot just from the process.

I've been learning blender for about 2 weeks. This seems beyond my scope but here I am trying it anyway. Two hours in and I've made it about 2 minutes into the video lol
That's a pretty good timing actually. The firs few minutes should be easy, and then getting more challenging. This isn't for absolute beginner, but it's a nice way to get into independent thinking as an intermediate. He has other tutorials that are great to start with, and will get you on your way to look for solutions while learning the tools. I also like Mike King's tutorials for that. He doesn't have the same level of expertise, but he explains things nicely. Sometimes I like less advanced guys, because they can still relate to the early learning curve.
same, feeling bad because there are a lot of things that arent working even though i quadruple check that I am doing every step just like he is, even if it wasnt said out loud. Not sure if the blender versions difference is causing this much a disruption or what
@@ryanpatton1795 so many things could go sideways and I am here for that exact reason too don't worry, maybe there's just one detail we missed, for example for the modeling I'm almost done with the walls and boolean settings but for some reason the part right under the roof remains empty. I'll keep going anyway since I'm learning, maybe I'll figure it out later and it'll be a nice way to monitor progress
‘Guru’ does not begin to describe your level of mastery concerning Blender. Thank you for the vast knowledge that you have showed, shared, given, explained, and demonstrated. You are very much appreciated… and possibly a little hated… due to all of the complexity that is the Blender workflow. Even so, you more loved more than you are hated. Be sure of that. Thank you, again!
I swear you're like the Bob Ross of 3D modeling. You make amazing artwork and make it easy for beginners to learn, and give them a solid foundation to build off of.
This is so informative for any photorealistic scene. The materials are layers and have imperfections of their very own. Before, I didn't even think about making materials. I was just like "Okay, the house is wooden....good enough" no. It's wood that sits in the sun all day, is effected by weather, and endless possibilities.
As a beginner in blender this sort of stuff blows me away, currently I struggle a lot with understanding the Shader editor cuz I haven't done that many projects and it always feels overwhelming I hope one day I can come upto your level where I don't just follow along and search up a solution but come up with my own you're truly inspirational
@@Terry-Hesticle You are presenting your own opinion as though it is a fact. It is not. Some people will learn better from blender guru, and some from default cube. Let people develop their own opinion.
@@melonslice3177 That sentiment i totally agree with, everyone learns just a little bit differently. I personally watch a ton of different people because everyone explains it just a little bit differently, and for myself hearing the same concepts repeated in different structures and word choice helps me understand the more complex portions.
This was an absolute masterclass. The pacing, the editing, the information delivered and how it was delivered. Superb. You are one of the best teachers ever, man.
I love how he wholeheartedly shares his extensive in-depth knowledge of concepts while including the logic behind it. Its obvious that he understands art to a great level when it comes to light, color and especially composition as is apparent in the video structure. Unlike many, i don't really have a problem with him marketing Polygon for the simple reason that it is actually an extremely useful addition. It makes the workflow fast and optimized. As long as it is good, it only shows how amazing polygon is the more you mention it. So keep going. He's also constantly improving his videos when it comes to content quality and also experimenting with new video formats. People mention I like this blender youtuber better or some default cube better, Andrew price is the OG Blender Guru!
Man, this advanced modeling knowledge you show in this video is just like very abstract mathematical theorems told to math newbies. To be honest, as a newbie, I was shocked. While feeling hopeless on the one hand, I also tried not to get discouraged by seeing the true power of Blender. Adding you to my watch list was the right decision. Thank you for sharing.
Man, I know I sound like so many others, but it is amazing how much I've learned from this channel, and after years, I am still learning new tricks. Everywhere I see blender projects posted, so many of them have things they clearly made following the guru, either outright or tweaked a little. It's really amazing.
I’m here to help those stuck at 1:04 , So (Choose the faces > Mesh > Seperate > Click the seperated roof > Mesh > Duplicate) Also when adding solidify, make sure to put offset to 1.0000 and turn on ”Even Thickness”
Why do you separate the original roof attached to the house? is it to delete it so you don't have the hidden faces? Don't you need the roof to be attached so the Boolean works properly? you can also set the thickness in the negative direction instead of having to change the offset.
Hey Andrew ... i actually wanted to thank you! Before the pandemic i started to follow your tutorials and when it started i worked literaly night and day to learn and get better. I worked as a video- and lighting designer in the entertainment industry before and due to your tutorials i got a job in visualisation for products and projects - using UnrealEngine and building my assets and environments with the skillset you gave me! As of today i am an employe of the new company since 8 months and i am quite happy - coming from the entertainment industry i can tell you, that a lot of people got real problems due to covid and all the restrictions ... your tutorials provided a way around ... and it all started with a donut 😁 Thank you very very much and best regards ... P.s.- i love your humor! 😂
for anyone having trouble at 1:50 make sure in the array modifier the y and x values are set to 0 while Z has a value of 0.9...was stuck at it for a good solid hour having overlooked this in the video
8:30 this is why I watch these even though I've been using blender for 3+ years. I've been using shades of grey into a color ramp then mixing them In a very specific order to get the same result. It's no messy and not friendly. I never once thought of using RGB instead. No matter how experienced you are there's new tricks to be learned
Hey, can I ask you a question. Something is wrong with my workflow. When I plug in the normals from the PBR MIXER into the PRINCIPLE shader, my mesh becomes a BRIGHT RED. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Did you actually achieve to get the same result with the color burn blending ? i tried hundred of times and i still come out with a shitty blending (it just randomly paint some big chunks) i do not get it.
Wow! I knew about the rgb masking technique but the small things such as the C key to unclamp the vertex sliding was new to me! This is why I never skip these tutorials, no matter the skill level, one can always learn something!
Dude I love this! It’s so intuitive and while I didn’t understand some of it now, it makes me feel so good when I did understand certain aspects of the video because it gave me motivation to watch more and learn about nodes and RGB settings. I’m an illustrator so I’m always working in 2D but videos like these give me confidence in expanding my profession. Really great video dude, I’m definitely sticking around for more!
@@Terry-Hesticle how can you call him a shill? I'm gonna assume it's because he's promoting Poliigon? and so what if he is, it's a bloody good ad for the business. Look, you get the main tool for free, you get a brilliant walkthrough / tutorial FOR FREE because Andrew spent his SPARE TIME creating it, and let's not forget he'd have practised a few times before getting it right, then recording it, then editing it, then uploading it. FOR FREE. If I was as good as Blender Guru I'd charge through Patreon for my time, so I'm eternally grateful he shares his knowledge and time for free.
@@Terry-Hesticle Default Cube and Blender Guru are so polar opposite that you shouldn't even be on this thread giving DC a shout. And he'd probably be embarrassed by you doing so. This is a community where people share their knowledge and expertise, not bitch and howl at others' who are more successful. I'd say DC's tutorial's are more akin to someone like erindale XYZ. BG is more about creating a 'scene' from start-to-finish in the most direct way using accessible terminology. And there's tutorials where he even suggests using other resource sites, not just Poliigon. DC's stuff is more like abstract techniques and such. BG. is more for everyday artists looking at the entire workflow. If you're whining about someone not uploading enough then you really are emblematic of the problem content creators face - incessant demand for free material. Why don't you create amazing tutorials and share them so we can all see how great you are?
@@Terry-Hesticle If you don't want to see this video, that's fine. Then just don't watch it. But you don't have to tell anyone who doesn't share your opinion that only your opinion matters. These guys just enjoy Andrew's videos and I think they are not going to change their minds just because a single person on the internet brays out their position and thinks their point of view is the only right one. I can't believe I wasted my time and poor English (*cough* Google translate *cough*) with an incredibly long comment :D
@@Terry-Hesticle What we have here is that Andrew's tutorials are no longer for you. Your experience has probably surpassed what he can teach you. That's fine, simply move on - you don't need to comment. They are for me though and if anything I get a lot more from the slower and deliberate stepwise tutorials than I do even from this one. I've spent two hours replicating the first few minutes of this tutorial simply because the speed of Andrew's tutorials nowadays is way too fast and a minor mistake early on can have serious implications later on (e.g. 1: by me not duplicating the roof the later boolean step didn't work at all, e.g. 2: by Andrew rushing past the initial siding creation, I missed the point where he's selected the whole siding before pressing Alt+S so all my sidings, bar the one I initially angled, were going in weird directions). I would not nearly had as many issues if Andrew did his longer form tutorials. If you find Default Cubes tutorials better, great then his style works for you. I've tried following his tutorials and although inspiring, my level of knowledge of Blender isn't there yet and I can't keep up. One day I hope to move on from Andrew's tutorials and move onto the next level, but he'll always have my respect because he helped me get the basic concepts. As for being a shill, who isn't? If they're not a shill for another company, they're begging for their own Patreon, subscribers on RUclips or shilling their own products. As long as we're all getting the content for free who cares? Support or don't support, it's your choice. Your comments throughout this thread haven't been helpful, just the lowest form of trolling. If you don't find these tutorials useful, find someone else's who are useful to you and allow others to enjoy a different style of learning. Other than being busy, I should imagine Andrew doesn't do as many tutorials because of comments from people like you. So, because you don't get as much out of them we all have to suffer.
I absolutely love seeing the logic that goes into this, 3D modelling is so much less frightening to me when I see it more like programming and using all these modifiers to build and add layers of complexity which can be tweaked later
'and there it is, a house that looks like a rental!' 😂😂😂 Amazing tutorial Andrew! really concise and perfectly paced. Six mins in and the main part done 👍🏻 Thanks for yet another great tutorial 🙏🏻
@@Terry-Hesticle While I see what you're saying, it's a little harsh. He's a small business guy trying to make a buck. He uses these tutorials as 'soft advertising' for his website. That doesn't bother me a bit. Learning a new technique(s) for free? That's pretty horrible, lol. He's entertaining and informative and it doesn't cost a dime. Have you heard of the photoshop guy, Benny Productions on RUclips? That guy gets people to send in their art and drawings. All he does is add some shading and colorwork and then sells that art for a profit on Displate. Now, that is heinous. And yet people keep sending in their art in hopes that they'll be featured. The Blender Guru isn't anywhere near that. Not to mention, I learned quite a bit making my donut.
@@Terry-Hesticle you’re right. I’m not the CG professional. I know CG professionals and basically get my advice from them first off. They’re the ones who really know, right?
I am an architect working with Rhino/Vray and you definitely drag me into new horizon. I need to mention one thing that blow my mind, i.e. your speed of production and smart approach behind. A million thanks. You are awesome!!!
I've never opened Blender in my life, only learned some Maya in university an will most likely never open either again. But your tutorials are fascinating and I love watching them. Truly impressive what you do here! :-) Keep up the amazing work!
I love these types of tutorials, it's not exactly follow along tutorials and more like watch and learn type, and also the pacing of the video is amazing, I watched the whole thing without realizing it was over 20mins, the techniques are not for beginners but its gold for intermediate users. I mean we take for granted that this is free on RUclips because this could be on subscription websites. love it!
I love this style of tutorial for the intermediate user! It's perfect because we don't have to watch through all the nitty grity hours of work but we also have the treat of getting all the awesome tricks! Wonderful!
In video games, a scale reference player is usually going to be 1.8m. Width and depth are usually going to be 0.6m. If you don't have a reference, using a primitive cube with the right dimensions will be enough to start modelling. You should also consider jump height (its apex) and crouch height POV. As always, rely on your particular camera in your project as the source of truth for look and feel.
I've never seen such a well put together tutorial on complex texture painting like this. Well done. I think my machine would cry and electrocute itself trying this, but I want to play with it. Thanks for posting this.
The very first that came in my mind when I saw the thumbnail was " huh. This is very The Last Of Us-ish" and then I saw the intro. It's clear where the inspiration came from :)
its so satisfying to watch this kind of videos, ...i watched this 4 times already, this man is amazing, he can explain everything perfectly, understandably ....good job man
Really well done! Love this tutorial, it's so streamlined. Must have taken you so long to find the best solution for each problem, you tackle a lot in this vid and the end result is so clean and concise. Thankyou
If anyone is like me and wondering how he made those points in his node links: -Shift + right mouse drag across a link to add a reroute node. -select the reroute node and hit G to move it to a better location so the links don't overlap or go behind other nodes, etc. making your node network a confusing overlapping mess. They're called reroute nodes because you can also use them to send links out to multiple nodes from the same node. They support one input but multiple outputs.
A good way of doing 1:05 is by first creating a mirror modifier of the roof with clipping enabled and then duplicate and separate the roof. Then you can use the solidify modifier. My issue was when I used the solidify modifier it would split my roof instead of keep it together.
I recently downloaded Blender and wanted to get into 3D modeling as a extra hobby besides gaming when I'm not at work and you helped me a lot with your tips and tricks I appreciate it cause I wanted to make a post apocalyptic setting in a city with Werewolves fighting Humans and a few other ideas I have thanks again man keep up the amazing work.
This is the best tutorial you've made so far!~ Really, really, really wish you could make a Part 2 where you go into how you rendered this as it looks absolutely stunning! Pretty please!
I miss your face in the corner! Seriouly, This is amazing. This is a perfect tutorial for advanced users. Pacing, step by step explanation and detail are great. Just short of 1 point for chapter marks, specially to the node tree, this a 99 of 100. Thank you so much.
Hi everybody, if you are at 2:26 and your clapboard doesn't go all to the top even if you have put all the right settings in the boolean, you might have done the same mistake as me and collapsed the top edge of your house, because of that the boolean can't properly operate without this limit. check the wireframe of your base house cube, after link points that are not by hitting F when you have your two points selected, after check in solid mode if you still see through the top of the house, select angled roof edge and extrude it along the right axis (E + Y for example) and snap the edge back on the other side, by redoing the limitations your Boolean will then be operational.
For 2:22, I just duplicated the roof, extruded it on the z axis in edit mode, and used that as my Boolean object. I found this to be so much easier for me. Also, if you do this, you will have to increase the thickness of your actual roof by just one click to hide any clipping artifacts left by the Boolean modifier.
Hey, can I ask you a question. Something is wrong with my workflow. When I plug in the normals from the PBR MIXER into the PRINCIPLE shader, my mesh becomes a BRIGHT RED. Do you know how to fix this issue?
I saw this video and thought I was gonna see a guy and a video camera. I also thought it was gonna be boring. But within the first few seconds I knew this was created all on a PC and instantly became interesting. Straight to the point, no BS. Good video 👍🏼
Most videos trying to sell stuff are not worth the time at all, but god damn, Blender Guru does it again with the most insane quality and detailed blender content on YT!
By far the hardest tutorial i've ever came across only because he skips critical spots. People who do tutorials gotta consider that we don't know all of the short cuts you're using. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TUTORIALS SHOULD'NT HAVE CUTS!
This isn't a step-by-step. If you want one of those check out his other tutorials or another channel. This is a more advanced tutorial where he tries to lay out some basics but ultimately wants you as an artist to f around and find out for yourself instead of copying one for one. I have learned so much from trying to follow this tutorial and while it may be taking longer than it would with a step -by-step, I am learning valuable skills I can take into my own career.

Just started using Blender, currently working on my "Doughnut" project. Viewing this video is quite the change from the project video yet it demonstrates the simplicity of the program.

Keep up the great work!!!
Great tutorial, very useful and insightful techniques! That first TLOU2 bit of song is enough to demonetize the video... no wonder he had to shout out poliigon so many times 😂
At 1:04 Duplicate the house before separating it and then separate the roof of the duplicate house and then in object mode, add solidify modifier , hope it works

Ditto!
So?
‘Guru’ does not begin to describe your level of mastery concerning Blender.
Thank you for the vast knowledge that you have showed, shared, given, explained, and demonstrated. You are very much appreciated… and possibly a little hated… due to all of the complexity that is the Blender workflow. Even so, you more loved more than you are hated. Be sure of that.
Thank you, again!
I swear you're like the Bob Ross of 3D modeling. You make amazing artwork and make it easy for beginners to learn, and give them a solid foundation to build off of.

Lol, such a great comparison! "And we just paint a happy little dystopian house with some dilapidated siding over here, right next to this tree."
Great tutorial! But I still miss just "hanging out" with Andrew and listening to his random ruminations on life as he creates each new scene. ;)
Andrew getting annoyed with the baby and daydreaming about going to a cabin in the woods was a killer moment
This is so informative for any photorealistic scene. The materials are layers and have imperfections of their very own. Before, I didn't even think about making materials. I was just like "Okay, the house is wooden....good enough" no. It's wood that sits in the sun all day, is effected by weather, and endless possibilities.
As a beginner in blender this sort of stuff blows me away, currently I struggle a lot with understanding the Shader editor cuz I haven't done that many projects and it always feels overwhelming I hope one day I can come upto your level where I don't just follow along and search up a solution but come up with my own you're truly inspirational
Keeps practicing we all were at your level ,trust me it would be the way you want in the future
@@Terry-Hesticle your so weird, you sound like an ass at times but simultaneously sound like an artist with passion wanting to help people
@@Terry-Hesticle You are presenting your own opinion as though it is a fact. It is not. Some people will learn better from blender guru, and some from default cube. Let people develop their own opinion.
@@melonslice3177 That sentiment i totally agree with, everyone learns just a little bit differently.
I personally watch a ton of different people because everyone explains it just a little bit differently, and for myself hearing the same concepts repeated in different structures and word choice helps me understand the more complex portions.
How you doing now?
Wow, so professional, so incredible! You've clearly capture the TLOU essence in that tutorial, the added music was the cherry on top!
You are on point on the Readability and Grounding, it's one of the first things taught to 3d artists in the game industry.
This was an absolute masterclass. The pacing, the editing, the information delivered and how it was delivered. Superb. You are one of the best teachers ever, man.
I love how he wholeheartedly shares his extensive in-depth knowledge of concepts while including the logic behind it. Its obvious that he understands art to a great level when it comes to light, color and especially composition as is apparent in the video structure. Unlike many, i don't really have a problem with him marketing Polygon for the simple reason that it is actually an extremely useful addition. It makes the workflow fast and optimized. As long as it is good, it only shows how amazing polygon is the more you mention it. So keep going. He's also constantly improving his videos when it comes to content quality and also experimenting with new video formats. People mention I like this blender youtuber better or some default cube better, Andrew price is the OG Blender Guru!
I have no idea where to start doing anything like this, but I ended up watching the entire thing. So fascinating.
Man, this advanced modeling knowledge you show in this video is just like very abstract mathematical theorems told to math newbies. To be honest, as a newbie, I was shocked. While feeling hopeless on the one hand, I also tried not to get discouraged by seeing the true power of Blender. Adding you to my watch list was the right decision. Thank you for sharing.
Man, I know I sound like so many others, but it is amazing how much I've learned from this channel, and after years, I am still learning new tricks.
Everywhere I see blender projects posted, so many of them have things they clearly made following the guru, either outright or tweaked a little. It's really amazing.
I’m here to help those stuck at 1:04 , So (Choose the faces > Mesh > Seperate > Click the seperated roof > Mesh > Duplicate) Also when adding solidify, make sure to put offset to 1.0000 and turn on ”Even Thickness”
Why do you separate the original roof attached to the house? is it to delete it so you don't have the hidden faces? Don't you need the roof to be attached so the Boolean works properly?
you can also set the thickness in the negative direction instead of having to change the offset.
@@EmvyBeats It simplifies it like this

Hey Andrew ... i actually wanted to thank you! Before the pandemic i started to follow your tutorials and when it started i worked literaly night and day to learn and get better.
I worked as a video- and lighting designer in the entertainment industry before and due to your tutorials i got a job in visualisation for products and projects - using UnrealEngine and building my assets and environments with the skillset you gave me! As of today i am an employe of the new company since 8 months and i am quite happy - coming from the entertainment industry i can tell you, that a lot of people got real problems due to covid and all the restrictions ... your tutorials provided a way around ... and it all started with a donut 😁
Thank you very very much and best regards ...
P.s.- i love your humor! 😂
for anyone having trouble at 1:50 make sure in the array modifier the y and x values are set to 0 while Z has a value of 0.9...was stuck at it for a good solid hour having overlooked this in the video
8:30 this is why I watch these even though I've been using blender for 3+ years. I've been using shades of grey into a color ramp then mixing them In a very specific order to get the same result. It's no messy and not friendly. I never once thought of using RGB instead. No matter how experienced you are there's new tricks to be learned
Hey, can I ask you a question. Something is wrong with my workflow. When I plug in the normals from the PBR MIXER into the PRINCIPLE shader, my mesh becomes a BRIGHT RED. Do you know how to fix this issue?
@@juanantonio-7204 are you plugging the map directly into the normal input or are you putting it into the normal map node then the normal input?
Did you actually achieve to get the same result with the color burn blending ? i tried hundred of times and i still come out with a shitty blending (it just randomly paint some big chunks) i do not get it.
@@SimFiftyFifty Same here
on the color ramp I change the thing next to RGB constant it to ease. you can through the options to your likening. @@3dmockingbird
Wow! I knew about the rgb masking technique but the small things such as the C key to unclamp the vertex sliding was new to me! This is why I never skip these tutorials, no matter the skill level, one can always learn something!
I absolutely love how your showed your steps for optimization, using a video render as proof of it working
How to use the RGB channels to add mask for peeled paint flakes, water damage, and moss is genius. Awesome lesson Andrew
Dude I love this! It’s so intuitive and while I didn’t understand some of it now, it makes me feel so good when I did understand certain aspects of the video because it gave me motivation to watch more and learn about nodes and RGB settings. I’m an illustrator so I’m always working in 2D but videos like these give me confidence in expanding my profession. Really great video dude, I’m definitely sticking around for more!
@@Terry-Hesticle how can you call him a shill? I'm gonna assume it's because he's promoting Poliigon? and so what if he is, it's a bloody good ad for the business. Look, you get the main tool for free, you get a brilliant walkthrough / tutorial FOR FREE because Andrew spent his SPARE TIME creating it, and let's not forget he'd have practised a few times before getting it right, then recording it, then editing it, then uploading it. FOR FREE. If I was as good as Blender Guru I'd charge through Patreon for my time, so I'm eternally grateful he shares his knowledge and time for free.
@@Terry-Hesticle Default Cube and Blender Guru are so polar opposite that you shouldn't even be on this thread giving DC a shout. And he'd probably be embarrassed by you doing so. This is a community where people share their knowledge and expertise, not bitch and howl at others' who are more successful. I'd say DC's tutorial's are more akin to someone like erindale XYZ. BG is more about creating a 'scene' from start-to-finish in the most direct way using accessible terminology. And there's tutorials where he even suggests using other resource sites, not just Poliigon. DC's stuff is more like abstract techniques and such. BG. is more for everyday artists looking at the entire workflow.
If you're whining about someone not uploading enough then you really are emblematic of the problem content creators face - incessant demand for free material.
Why don't you create amazing tutorials and share them so we can all see how great you are?
@@Terry-Hesticle If you don't want to see this video, that's fine. Then just don't watch it. But you don't have to tell anyone who doesn't share your opinion that only your opinion matters. These guys just enjoy Andrew's videos and I think they are not going to change their minds just because a single person on the internet brays out their position and thinks their point of view is the only right one.
I can't believe I wasted my time and poor English (*cough* Google translate *cough*) with an incredibly long comment :D
@@Terry-Hesticle What we have here is that Andrew's tutorials are no longer for you. Your experience has probably surpassed what he can teach you. That's fine, simply move on - you don't need to comment. They are for me though and if anything I get a lot more from the slower and deliberate stepwise tutorials than I do even from this one.
I've spent two hours replicating the first few minutes of this tutorial simply because the speed of Andrew's tutorials nowadays is way too fast and a minor mistake early on can have serious implications later on (e.g. 1: by me not duplicating the roof the later boolean step didn't work at all, e.g. 2: by Andrew rushing past the initial siding creation, I missed the point where he's selected the whole siding before pressing Alt+S so all my sidings, bar the one I initially angled, were going in weird directions). I would not nearly had as many issues if Andrew did his longer form tutorials.
If you find Default Cubes tutorials better, great then his style works for you. I've tried following his tutorials and although inspiring, my level of knowledge of Blender isn't there yet and I can't keep up. One day I hope to move on from Andrew's tutorials and move onto the next level, but he'll always have my respect because he helped me get the basic concepts.
As for being a shill, who isn't? If they're not a shill for another company, they're begging for their own Patreon, subscribers on RUclips or shilling their own products. As long as we're all getting the content for free who cares? Support or don't support, it's your choice.
Your comments throughout this thread haven't been helpful, just the lowest form of trolling. If you don't find these tutorials useful, find someone else's who are useful to you and allow others to enjoy a different style of learning. Other than being busy, I should imagine Andrew doesn't do as many tutorials because of comments from people like you. So, because you don't get as much out of them we all have to suffer.
I absolutely love seeing the logic that goes into this, 3D modelling is so much less frightening to me when I see it more like programming and using all these modifiers to build and add layers of complexity which can be tweaked later
'and there it is, a house that looks like a rental!' 😂😂😂
Amazing tutorial Andrew! really concise and perfectly paced. Six mins in and the main part done 👍🏻
Thanks for yet another great tutorial 🙏🏻
One Hour 30 minutes in, and the White Block House with Crooked Roof Done.. LOL
Every time Andrew promotes Poliigon, I saw Andrew give money to another Andrew, one in full business attire and another one in very casual clothes.
I'm HAPPY to watch the Poliigon ads if it helps Andrew.
@@Terry-Hesticle While I see what you're saying, it's a little harsh. He's a small business guy trying to make a buck. He uses these tutorials as 'soft advertising' for his website. That doesn't bother me a bit. Learning a new technique(s) for free? That's pretty horrible, lol. He's entertaining and informative and it doesn't cost a dime. Have you heard of the photoshop guy, Benny Productions on RUclips? That guy gets people to send in their art and drawings. All he does is add some shading and colorwork and then sells that art for a profit on Displate. Now, that is heinous. And yet people keep sending in their art in hopes that they'll be featured. The Blender Guru isn't anywhere near that. Not to mention, I learned quite a bit making my donut.
Comment award🥈🥇
@@Terry-Hesticle Do you have any constructive responses? You're obviously not a CG professional.
@@Terry-Hesticle you’re right. I’m not the CG professional. I know CG professionals and basically get my advice from them first off. They’re the ones who really know, right?
I am an architect working with Rhino/Vray and you definitely drag me into new horizon. I need to mention one thing that blow my mind, i.e. your speed of production and smart approach behind. A million thanks. You are awesome!!!
Your 3D creations are beautiful! This is by far the best tutorial you've ever made. So much relevant info in 25 minutes. I'm impressed!
I've never opened Blender in my life, only learned some Maya in university an will most likely never open either again. But your tutorials are fascinating and I love watching them. Truly impressive what you do here! :-) Keep up the amazing work!
1:14 double tap G, then ALT
1:49 A - Mesh - Normals - Recalculate Outside - ALT S
Thank you!! I couldn’t figure out what I was missing to make my siding work!!
I love these types of tutorials, it's not exactly follow along tutorials and more like watch and learn type, and also the pacing of the video is amazing, I watched the whole thing without realizing it was over 20mins, the techniques are not for beginners but its gold for intermediate users. I mean we take for granted that this is free on RUclips because this could be on subscription websites. love it!
I love this style of tutorial for the intermediate user! It's perfect because we don't have to watch through all the nitty grity hours of work but we also have the treat of getting all the awesome tricks! Wonderful!
It isn't great for beginners like me. It is cool to see his methods, but i have no idea how to execute some of them.
In video games, a scale reference player is usually going to be 1.8m. Width and depth are usually going to be 0.6m. If you don't have a reference, using a primitive cube with the right dimensions will be enough to start modelling.
You should also consider jump height (its apex) and crouch height POV. As always, rely on your particular camera in your project as the source of truth for look and feel.
I've never seen such a well put together tutorial on complex texture painting like this. Well done. I think my machine would cry and electrocute itself trying this, but I want to play with it. Thanks for posting this.
The very first that came in my mind when I saw the thumbnail was " huh. This is very The Last Of Us-ish" and then I saw the intro. It's clear where the inspiration came from :)
Exactly what I thought as well and Andrew mentioned him playing the game in one of his podcasts.
The music, the graphics, the storyline, the characters... and so on... the last of us is the best game ever!
its so satisfying to watch this kind of videos, ...i watched this 4 times already, this man is amazing, he can explain everything perfectly, understandably ....good job man
“A house that looks like a rental.” I laughed so hard at this!
Really well done! Love this tutorial, it's so streamlined. Must have taken you so long to find the best solution for each problem, you tackle a lot in this vid and the end result is so clean and concise. Thankyou
You are the best instructor Andrew, …and I’ve needed many instructors 😥. The care you put into these is really appreciated.
If anyone is like me and wondering how he made those points in his node links:
-Shift + right mouse drag across a link to add a reroute node.
-select the reroute node and hit G to move it to a better location so the links don't overlap or go behind other nodes, etc. making your node network a confusing overlapping mess.
They're called reroute nodes because you can also use them to send links out to multiple nodes from the same node. They support one input but multiple outputs.
A good way of doing 1:05 is by first creating a mirror modifier of the roof with clipping enabled and then duplicate and separate the roof. Then you can use the solidify modifier. My issue was when I used the solidify modifier it would split my roof instead of keep it together.
How do you make a mirror modifier before separating the roof? because at that point the whole house in one mesh.
For those wondering where the "separate RGB" node is, it should be under a new name of "Separate color"
Also "vertex color" is now "Color attribute"
I recently downloaded Blender and wanted to get into 3D modeling as a extra hobby besides gaming when I'm not at work and you helped me a lot with your tips and tricks I appreciate it cause I wanted to make a post apocalyptic setting in a city with Werewolves fighting Humans and a few other ideas I have thanks again man keep up the amazing work.
Wow. Stunning render. Gonna have to watch this one all the way through! Really nice!
THE DONUT MAN NEVER EXPLAINS ANYTHNG I AM CONFUSED. THANK YOU COMMNETS FOR UR HELP THEY WERE MORE HELPFUL THAN THE DONUT MAN!!!
Ugh.... I love commnets
Man I have no blender experience and watching this start to finish was confusing but also inspiring
This is the best tutorial you've made so far!~ Really, really, really wish you could make a Part 2 where you go into how you rendered this as it looks absolutely stunning! Pretty please!
I don’t know who you are…. I don’t know what you want… but what I do know is that you are beyond human! Amazing!!
I miss your face in the corner!
Seriouly, This is amazing. This is a perfect tutorial for advanced users. Pacing, step by step explanation and detail are great. Just short of 1 point for chapter marks, specially to the node tree, this a 99 of 100. Thank you so much.
Hi everybody, if you are at 2:26 and your clapboard doesn't go all to the top even if you have put all the right settings in the boolean, you might have done the same mistake as me and collapsed the top edge of your house, because of that the boolean can't properly operate without this limit. check the wireframe of your base house cube, after link points that are not by hitting F when you have your two points selected, after check in solid mode if you still see through the top of the house, select angled roof edge and extrude it along the right axis (E + Y for example) and snap the edge back on the other side, by redoing the limitations your Boolean will then be operational.
dam thanks
can you please tell this to me in simple form, i dont understand how you do it
For 2:22, I just duplicated the roof, extruded it on the z axis in edit mode, and used that as my Boolean object. I found this to be so much easier for me. Also, if you do this, you will have to increase the thickness of your actual roof by just one click to hide any clipping artifacts left by the Boolean modifier.
I’ve always wanted to make the last of us inspired scenes and this is just perfect! Please blender guru make more of this! Love your videos!
you explain everything so smooth and clear, the only problem now is my brain capacity to understand a whole tutorial🗿
Hey, can I ask you a question. Something is wrong with my workflow. When I plug in the normals from the PBR MIXER into the PRINCIPLE shader, my mesh becomes a BRIGHT RED. Do you know how to fix this issue?
man i actually thought the final product was an actual building id find in game if i went looking for it, love it when people are good at what they do

will get it. Just don't get burnt out. Whenever you need a break, take one.
6:00 “railings aren’t straight, poles aren’t straight-nothing is straight!”

By far the hardest tutorial i've ever came across only because he skips critical spots. People who do tutorials gotta consider that we don't know all of the short cuts you're using. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TUTORIALS SHOULD'NT HAVE CUTS!
exactly. i've been wondering how did he managed to paint mask with tile textures and i still have no clue how he did it 🥲
This isn't a step-by-step. If you want one of those check out his other tutorials or another channel. This is a more advanced tutorial where he tries to lay out some basics but ultimately wants you as an artist to f around and find out for yourself instead of copying one for one. I have learned so much from trying to follow this tutorial and while it may be taking longer than it would with a step -by-step, I am learning valuable skills I can take into my own career.
Its funny cos my tutor about 8 years ago said he didn't like you but advised everyone in the class to watch your vids hehee. This is awesome btw.
This dude says “the hard parts over” and then begins to build a game of thrones plot line…to do siding.

Just started using Blender, currently working on my "Doughnut" project. Viewing this video is quite the change from the project video yet it demonstrates the simplicity of the program. All the actions made sense - I had no clue such texture "plugins"were available! I hope to view many more videos but with a 75Mb cap of downloads for the two of us I simply need to be selective! Keep up the great work!!!

So I was hyped up to make some architecture experiments with blender
Saw your tutorial, got hyped even more, clicked on it
