Thanks so much. People like you have been so awesome subscribing and giving positive comments, it really makes the time worth it and its a great motivator. Thanks 😁
nicely done, I was thinking to myself, "I wonder which side blender decides to rip?" then you answered. I really like tool tip videos because I can use them even if I don't necessarily need to make vents or shoulder pads
Thanks a lot. Its hard to know what to focus on so I try to do a variety of how to use a tool/function videos and then "how to make X" videos for variety.
Thanks. I find a lot of tutorials miss out things that seem little but are really key (like in this one what side the mouse is on being really important) and I want to save people that hassle of trial and error.
Yeah. In reality you'd do it with a bit more care (turn in snapping to edges and then when it's constrained to the Z axis you can make sure its horizontal to the next edge up to make the stairs perfectly straight) but it is way easier.
Thank you so much for little tricks like this. There's so many simple things I try to do in Blender that seem they should be obvious, and I'm sure half of them exist already, I just haven't found or heard the tip yet. I've even started going back and watching beginner tutorials now that I know Blender better so I can pick up some of those tips I missed.
With no experience in Blender, ive been trying to make a ''Star Citizen 3D Holoviewer Model'' printable, and its been a learning process, i think after 4 days i'll just have to make my own, yet with dabbling in all the different aspects of repair, and trying this and that, and developed a decent, yet very rudimentary understanding of the basics. Your vids have been great, and this ''vent'' tute is such a coincidence, as i was wondering how to go about it. Kudos
Thanks a lot ! I've never used the rip option, but it seems to be really useful in some cases ! As always, a nice video with cool tips (especially for the cursor position when ripping) ! Thanks 🙏
@@ArtisansofVaul I understand, we don't often see someone using it, or even talking about it in tutorials! Yep, I agree, it's a nice tool, in particular for hard surface. Thanks for answering everytime, that's so cool ! (And it helps me improve my english reading and writing, so thank you! 😁)
@@ArtisansofVaul Ho, wow!! Thank you so much for the compliment! 🙏 Glad to read this 😊 It's not much compared to what you give us with all your videos, tips and ideas! And it's a nice way to be able to thank you directly!
great video series. I find them very helpful. I would like to see a video where you go through taking a mesh cleaning it up to be 3d printable. I have found many meshes where they have inside geometry that needs to be removed but I have not found great methods for cleaning them up. Thank you
I have done a bit on cleaning up some mesh work but that's a good idea. I'll wait until I have a project that got some clean up to do and then use that for a video so it's more "real". Cheers 👍🏻😁
Great Vid! I'm new to your channel but have been learning a lot from you tuts and tips that I've seen so far. I have one other question tho and that is how did you get your verts to display so large? There much easier to see and that can be useful being new to Blender and communities. Thanks AV.
In this instance doing that will tend to cause some overlap that's going to cause issues if 3D printing. I'd probably do it the same way as shown but inset the face on the vent "overhang" and extrude it inwards.
@@ArtisansofVaul Hi, those issues could be fixed (imho) by loading your stl's into 3D Buillder (free Microsoft add-on) and have it repaired. Takes some minutes but makes a first rate stl. I use this quite often. But, of course you are right, one would very seldom need open vents on a then hollow model. At least not in smaller scales.
Totally true. I've sung the praises of that program in a previous video. I'm not saying it would do but the overlaps it would create here are actually one of the fee things I've found it to have issues with (though I haven't tried it in this instance). But I think either way I'd rather have the control of extruding the faces myself and it would take less time ik thr long run as its a pretty simple function. But if you wanted the holes to go all the way through the vent its an option for sure 👍🏻
@@ArtisansofVaul Rule number one, always work smarter not harder. Rule number 2, never forget the first rule. Efficient, and lazy, just as I like it. Can't deny that.
No problem. Its all to do with your viewport shading. You can find what I use for my settings here: ruclips.net/video/GcNHZILKl3I/видео.html Hope that helps 😉
Thats a tough question as I haven't brought a new one in a while. I have an Anycubic Mono X and some of their new printers are meant to be really good. But it does depend on the size and detail you want to achieve. Id love to get a Mini 8k but I just don't have the spare cash for one at the moment.
@mind_of_a_darkhorse I really like Anycubic. I've had 2 of their printers and never done me wrong. But I know of people that say they have had bad customer service but again the one time I contacted them they were great. Alot of people swear by Elegoo so that's possibly a good choice too.
your channel is a bar of pure gold for people who like hard surface and subdiv modeling! keep it up, friend ))

Did not know about this tool. Thanks for the great vid man!
It's so rarely mentioned in tutorials and for some situations it's amazingly useful. Here being two prime examples.
Love the videos. I always find you've pursued each function in much more depth than other tutorials.
Thanks. I find a lot of tutorials miss out things that seem little but are really key (like in this one what side the mouse is on being really important) and I want to save people that hassle of trial and error.
This is the best method for hood and body louvers on cars models. Thank you
My pleasure and very good use of it!
Amazing tips! The stairs making blew my mind!
Yeah. In reality you'd do it with a bit more care (turn in snapping to edges and then when it's constrained to the Z axis you can make sure its horizontal to the next edge up to make the stairs perfectly straight) but it is way easier.
So helpful! I love these tutorials that provide insight into this little practical things. Thanks!

It's so easy to not know a small function. I'm ALWAYS finding better methods soon after I finish a project 😅 I think it's the curse of Blender.
Great content. Thats the easiest way to model stairs, thanks man
No problem at all and thanks for watching 😁👍🏻

Excellent. If you want to keep the vents open you could add a Solidify Modifier
In this instance doing that will tend to cause some overlap that's going to cause issues if 3D printing. I'd probably do it the same way as shown but inset the face on the vent "overhang" and extrude it inwards.

Hey man, how do you make the edges of the object lighter? It's like they have more shine. I've seen it several times, but I don't know how to do it.
I've got a video on it here 😁 ruclips.net/video/orqt8Fw7q8o/видео.html
@@ArtisansofVaul Thx bro
you're the man. v and alt+v are game changers.
Such an underused function, they are great!
need help, i want get rid of that boring white cube. how did you make your cube appers colored with edge highlight. pllzz help me 0:12

What 3d Printer do you recommend for a hobbyist?
Thats a tough question as I haven't brought a new one in a while. I have an Anycubic Mono X and some of their new printers are meant to be really good. But it does depend on the size and detail you want to achieve. Id love to get a Mini 8k but I just don't have the spare cash for one at the moment.
@@ArtisansofVaul What options do you recommend for its day-to-day usage? I noticed wash&cure and pure air.
@mind_of_a_darkhorse I really like Anycubic. I've had 2 of their printers and never done me wrong. But I know of people that say they have had bad customer service but again the one time I contacted them they were great. Alot of people swear by Elegoo so that's possibly a good choice too.
@@ArtisansofVaul Thanks for the help! It is greatly appreciated!
05:31 "HardOps" 😅
Woops. I've got so used to HardOps and Machin3Tools I often forget which is which 🤦
@@ArtisansofVaul I use them all day long... you can add Meshmachine if you want to complete the collection 👍
