Bro. I've been working in the industry/watching tutorials for years and you are a badass. Thank you so much for these videos they help me out a lot. You know so many tuts make my eyes glaze over but you get it done proper. Thanks again.
@@jlmussi for the last 6 years Ive been working in virtual production bouncing between motion capture, modeling/texturing, and some motion builder animation. It was a great job but I just want to get back to art. Since July I've been pretty much only taking modeling and texture jobs/look dev etc...
Yea super handy built hot key. The funny thing about it, I didnt know about it for a long time either but the short cut displays on the bottom left hand corner.
@@jlmussi This is super-useful. I've looked and I can't find this in the documentation but you are right, it does appear in the help text at the bottom of the screen. This, and a couple of other "J L Mussi Specials" - such as D+CTRL+LMB on a component to align the gizmo to the component - are speeding up my modelling so much and keep me coming back to your channel. Thanks, so much!
Nice, Very helpful! I usually run along each vert on each loop and check for curve consistency, but some of these steps look to save a BUNCH of time! (Beginner to Intermediate here, self taught)
Video content like this is extremely helpful! I think RUclips needs more content like this, not quite beginner but for those with some experience under their belt. This video really tackles a major problem that I have come across personally and offers a workflow solution to beat it.
Thank you very much JL. I already watched this video before, but didn't understand very much. Now I watch this video again because I have many lumpy surface problems needed to fix, this video is so helpful!!! Also thank you to teach how to use the 'screen space ambient occlusion' button, this button almost drove me crazy recently, now the problem solved.
If polycount is not an issue sometimes you can crease the hard edges on the low poly, apply 1 smooth subdivision, select again the crease edges (quick select sets are very useful if you have many edges to select) and turn crease back to 0. You end up with more polys but if you hit 3 and turn the subdivisions to 1 in preview mode (2 is the default), the final preview has the same amount of polys.
Hi this is Tadd, thank you for this! This has helped me so much already. Currently seeing improvements to my model as I use some of these tools and techniques. I saw in the comments someone recommended lowering the amount of geometry to work with to let the smooth mode do most of the work. It does seem having less verts lets the smooth mode transition a lot more gradually. I must have over thought all the different shapes flowing into each other and overtime all of the geometry became overcrowded. Working with half of the model seems to be a lot more intuitive than trying to make sure I'm working in symmetry all the time as well. Mostly because sometimes i'll forget to turn it back on.
Glad I could help. Yea sometimes less is more especially when starting to block out your model. The mirror tool has now an instance option. Turn that on that might help keeping everything symmetrical.
Does maya have a shrinkwrap modifier like blender? it constrains to mesh but also evens out the topology in one go. Make live sort of does it with the relax brush
@@jlmussi Yeah I think thats the closest. Do you think you can mimic this technique in Maya? ruclips.net/video/3rlMzsBWtPY/видео.html&feature=emb_logo Basically I want to be able to keep a reference surface shrink wrapped for curvature, while I try different cut out shapes for design purposes. In this blender tutorial he just keeps the car tied to the modifier, I'm assuming without the modifier the mesh will smooth less nicely right? I think the second you lose the constrained surface, if your topology isnt done right you will lose the nice curvature as well, but thats fine for temporary purposes. p.s. awesome videos! :) Thanks for the reply too
Wow man this was a great tutorial and I've learned soo much from watching your videos. I'm at Full Sail University for Computer Animation and I'm looking to get as good as you. Thanks alot and keep those videos coming
Nice tutorial JLMussi. Tad might be trying to add detail to the model in the early stages of building. The hose model was lumpy as well.You can prevent lumpiness if you define the surface with larger polys. Add detail when you are satisfied with the overall shape.
I don't know why anybody would model like what you showed in the beginning except for absolute beginners. Moving single verts around is such a shitty way of defining the shape haha

Thank you very much for your videos. You can't even imagine how valuable they are for students like me. Please keep up the good work, we need u :)
Thanks for stopping by. Glad they have helped you in your learning journey.

Thanks David. Glad I could help. What line of work are you in?

Cool! I played around with MoCap before and motion builder as well a while back. Fun stuff. Yea 3d modeling and texturing is definitely my passion.
Never knew Ctrl+Middle mouse was move along normal. Thanks, man!

@@johncrackett1533 Yea Maya seems to have some super useful shortcuts hidden and not documented anywhere. Glad you are enjoying the information.
Finally a Maya video on RUclips where I can clearly hear the person. Don't even got my speakers on 100

i've listen many of you're tutorial in the last days (just dicover..) really instructive stuff! keep on!
Cool! Thanks for the tips. I’ve found that the quad draw tool can also be helpful relaxing the mesh and moving vertices.
Yes I agree. I have used quad draw for instances like this as well.
About Ctrl+Middle is exactly what I need! Many thanks!
Man, super useful tutorial. Learned a lot. Thank you!
Dude this is soo Awesome. My mind is actually blown!! Thank you soo much.

Thank you! have a modeling assignment coming up this really helped out
Great, informative tute bro. Took down a bunch of notes. I thought I knew modeling, until I watched this.
Glad you enjoyed it. Im learning something new every day and I've been doing this for a while myself.
I like your work man. Just continue bro. Thank you for sharing your experience
Thanks for stopping by Driss. Glad you enjoy my work.
you saved my life. thank you.

Excellent video, thanks for posting
Edge Flow was awesome! :D Thanks man
Thanks Kiko.
This was really helpful, Thank you! ❤

Awesome stuff broski. I subscribed!

Yup makes sense. Low to high is the way to go.
thank you, for saving my time and freeing my hands
Hi, what is the hot key for edge slide done at 19:09 ? Thanks for it, really helpful
Super useful, thanks!!
Great vídeo, hugs from Brazil
Good tip with Ctrl + mmb. Wish you all the best with your channel. Subscribed :)
Glad I could help and welcome to the squad Vladyslav!
Excellent video! Thanks for showing me some tricks I didn't know.
You're welcome, glad I could show you some new tricks.
Thanks man, great video!
Great tut man, I didn't knew your Chanel ,great
Thanks Joao, glad to see you in the comments section.
wow, it's incredible tutorial, I didn't know that much. Thank you
Thank you very much.
really solid tutorial!!!!
Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
22:53 im pretty sure youd get some creases as your topology isnt uniform anymore
Great explanation
Great Tipps. Thank You!
4:55 idont understand how to fix it :(
thanks, this is really useful
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUU
Wow it looks so god 🤩
Thanks so much 😁
Great Brother.
Thanks for watching
hello bro can you tell me what is your setup specs
Thank you! Lumpiness causes me so many problems 😅
Love the Yankee cap bro.
Thank you!that's very useful~
15:16 sửa lưới theo flow
Thank you
You're welcome Hossen.
ctrl + shift move also slides :)
thx that was very helpful :)
What I do is rebuild everything from scratch until I get it right...its like a jackhammer to cement for me when dealing with all those verts...
Yup that's another way of going about it. Delete and start over.
good stuff
thank you L
- Lumpy space princess has left the chat.
Lol
If your transforms ever "disappear" press "W" When you press "Q" the controller becomes hidden but the selection stays
That's because Q switches to the select tool but doesn't deselect
New caches take forever to unlock
I don't know why anybody would model like what you showed in the beginning except for absolute beginners.
Moving single verts around is such a shitty way of defining the shape haha
actually, i like lumpy mashed potatoes.
lumps bad in mashed potatoes? Clearly untrustworthy
Thank you very much .. thanks for this information !!
Thank you
Thank you
