@@Victor-oo4ux @Victor Well, last time I used RMB for selection in Blender 2.79, lol. I used it for 10 years, and when the Blender 2.8 came out, I switched to LMB for selection, and it's so much better. I got used to it pretty fast and never going back. P.S. I've never tried to use RMB for selection in Blender 2.8+, so I didn't know that W still opens the menu :)
@@LMHPOLY dude the biggest hurdle in the beginning of learning Blender for me was mixing up LMB and RMB! still have nightmares of that 3D cursor following me at every turn
For anyone confused about the Normal section not being in the object Data section in 4.1+ it looks like they moved those options to Right Click + Shade Smooth by Angle.
Perfect pacing. Perfect explanations. Even better is indicating visually which keybindings are being used and what they do, every single time. This is one of the most perfect tutorials I have ever seen.
this is an amazing tutorial. as someone who watched Blender Guru for my first few tutorials videos.. this was much more fast of course, so there wasn't much time to really explain too much, but if you have any concept of how 3D works and have some time in blender getting used to it, this helps a lot to know some fundamental things. you don't need to do a donut with fancy geometry nodes and compositing. if you're making game assets, you don't even need a ton of detail and work unless it is supposed to be. LMH has made a rather good video for beginners id argue. and id suggest giving these videos to friends who are interested or stuck on simple things as they start out :3
I use Z because you can change to any shading mode fast. I don't use Shift+Z because the more shortcuts I use, sometimes I get mixed up lol. But I think someone else will find it useful, thanks ;)
Can't stress enough how awesome it is that you show things that go wrong during the process and how to fix them, the align X/Y trick, island editing and management, it is all missing from other tutorials. NICE JOB! In my notes for UV unwrapping, I just linked this video.
This is the best tutorial I have seen content wise, you went very slow, added your own screencast keys, showed options and keybinds I didn't know existed. Well done!
This was a brilliant introduction to making game assets for Unity. Wonderful! It does require limited familiarity with Blender. I recommend Grand Abbit's Blender tutorials. By the way, LMHPOLY, at 5:32, you mean 'S - to scale' and then 'Z - scale by Z-axis'. (You say 'scale by X-axis', a horizontal axis. You actually scale in the vertical axis, which is Z.)
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but with Blender 3.6, when extruding the circle with 5 vertices on top of the barrel at 7:39, it generates faces inside and outside as well. Backface Culling is enabled. Edit : I deleted the circle and remade it and now it extrudes with normals inside as expected. Not sure what I did wrong the first time. Edit 2 : The rest of the video work well with 3.6, great video too!

11:22 I don't see the option "Normals" under the Object Data Properties tab. I am using Blender 4.2 . was that moved to a different position? Please help me locate that. Thank you.
For anyone facing similar issue. I found it under modifiers and added as modifier for the barrel mesh. Search for "Smooth by angle" under modifiers tab.
great tutorial, but one question, at around 6:18 where you talk about using F, i choose a single vertex like you show but when I press F it doesn't automatically know what to do. In my case I shift selected all vertexes manually and used F everytime to fill the gaps. Is this normal? Using Blender 4 right now.
It should work on any version of Blender if you have the same mesh shape as I have. It's possible that you have overlapping vertices/extruded geometry there - this happens when you (E - to Extrude and press RCLICK or ESC trying to cancel. It doesn't cancel the Extrusion! It only puts the Extrusion to the default position where you started the extrusion). In this case, any time you press E-to Extrude and press RCLICK or ESC to cancel, you must then press CTRL+Z to redo the action so you don't leave overlapping Extruded geometry. YOU CAN EASILY REMOVE OVERLAPPING GEOMETRY/VERTICES BY DOING THIS Try "A - to select all Vertices in the Edit Mode", and "M > By Distance - to merge all overlapping vertices". You will see a message at the very bottom "Removed x Vertices". If it says "0" that means you didn't have any overlapping vertices. If it says any number, then you have overlapping vertices which are now merged together. Now, try to select that Vertex and press F to fill in the faces. P.S. It's normal to actually select 3-4 Vertices while using SHIFT and pressing F to fill in the Face. It's what I use most of the time. But in some cases, as I showed in this video, you can fill in the face with 3 closest vertices only by selecting one corner vertex. For example, if you have a square mesh with 4 Vertices around and no face, you can select 1 Edge and press F to fill in that face instead of selecting all 4 corners. And if you only select 1 Vertex of that square with 4 Vertices and press F, you will fill in only half of that square, only 3 closest vertices makes a face. Basically you use different approaches for different circumstances. You can try it by yourself, so you can understand it better.
Very helpful getting me started, thanks! One thing, it looks like Shade Auto Smooth is now on the context menu for the object, not under Data Object Properties in 4.2 anymore. That took a minute of panicked confusion to figure out :-)
I'm pretty sure that your mesh has overlapping vertices or not connected vertices on top of each other at the location where the Loop Selection stops. Fix: A - to select all vertices (make sure you are in Vertex select mode (press 1)). RClick > Merge Vertices > By Distance.
Having some difficulty hitting F to generate faces at 6:11. I'm selecting a single vertex and hitting the key, but faces that I cannot select, delete or alter are appearing on the opposite vertex at the same time and meeting in the middle. I still have to press F several times to cover the entirety of the barrel, but then the lines intersect in a kind of lattice. It doesn't seem to be too much of an issue right now but I am concerned it's going to make UV unwrapping a nightmare. I have tried merging vertices by distance and it has not solved the problem. Very frustrating and would appreciate any advice anyone has to help sort this out. EDIT: I am a moron. If you are having a similar issue, ensure that your "mirror" modifier is selected for Z AXIS ONLY. I was effectively mirroring any one-sided change to my barrel and hadn't noticed because all previous ammendments had been symetrical anyway.
@@joeysipos Yes, smoothing is transferred to Unity. Mesh normals will always transfer from Blender to Unity and will look the same. Why would I do it if it's not, lol.
@@LMHPOLY Sorry, should have been more descriptive. I'm looking to use a color palette. So I assign faces to be a flat color. That way in my game engine I only have to have a single texture which is the palette. I asked online on blender stack exchange, and the answer I got was that it was not possible to get what I'm looking for without adding more vertices
@@tail1410 I want to see the visual picture of what exactly you want to achieve because I'm not 100% sure. But if you want to add planks by using color palette texture, you can use one color for plank faces and another black color to make a fake gap in between. You can do that by adding more geometry (faces between plank faces). Or use a 3 color gradient going from black to brown to black, and apply this gradient to every single plank. This way you can achieve a separate plank effect with the same low poly geometry and small texture.
Way late but if anyone is wondering the context menu appears only when you make a change to an object. When you spawn in an object, like he did with the cylinder, the menu will pop up, but it will close upon subsequent actions like clicking.
Where is the 11:20 auto smooth option in blender 4.1? 8:37 when I press Ctrl+J to join the lid and barrel, the normals of lid flips, why is it happening?
For Blender 4.1 RCLICK > Shade Smooth by Angle. And open the tab "Shade Smooth by Angle", which should show up at the bottom left corner. There you will be able to change the smooth Angle. If you make some changes to the mesh and want to change the smooth Angle again, repeat the steps (RCLICK > Shade Smooth by Angle; change smooth Angle at the bottom left corner.) or The better way is to apply the "Smooth by Angle" Modifier after you do (RCLICK > Shade Smooth by Angle.) This modifier will let you change the smooth Angle any time without any additional steps. This was changed since Blender 4.1. ------ If you press CTRL+J and some parts of the mesh appear to have flipped normals, just go to the Edit Mode, A - to select all vertices, SHIFT+N - to recalculate normals. More about flipping normals I explain in my tutorial: ruclips.net/video/9iV9wnvpQ1U/видео.html
Who told you that? Of course not! When you import to Unity any mesh will be triangulated automatically. All of the quads will be split into triangles, and if there is a Ngon, it will be also triangulated.
I leave everything smoothed out except sidewall edges to make them look more separated, like wood planks. I left the barrel center edge loop and those metal rings smoothed out. You can clearly see that in the video.
If you can't move the circle up, it's because you have to create the circle in object mode, or else I am not sure why this happens, but the circle doesn't get instantiated like a standalone object (you can't see it in the collections) and the barrels mirror modifier will affect the circle. Hope i helped anyone.
I figured out the cause of the issue, I was creating the circle in the same object as the cylinder so the mirror effect was applied to it. I see a lot of tutorials where they just hit shift a and it automatically creates objects in their own layer, I have to hit tab first before I do it. Am I missing some trick to doing this faster?@@LMHPOLY
I stumbled on this same issue - for anyone else who might come across this eventually, it happened because I added the circle under "Edit" mode. Adding the circle in edit mode caused it to fall under the same mesh as the cylinder, and with the mirror mode + clipping made it so I couldn't move it on the Z-axis specifically One way of identifying this was that after I added the circle, it didn't appear with its own entry in the "Collection" table on the top right.
I'm not sure why, but when I CTRL+J to join, my small pentagon mesh gets inverted, even though before I join them the normals look correct. So i undid the join, recalculated the normals on the pentagon mesh, and purposely chose "inside" to make them look flipped. So it looked wrong, but then when I did CTRL+J to join them, it corrected itself and looks fine in the end result. REALLY weird! lol any thoughts?
Yes. As far as I know, UE4 supports .fbx or .obj files. Export settings might be a bit different for UE because Unity and UE4 use different axis for rotation. Thanks!
I don't know the versions of blender and how they differ but there is no "Normals" category and what goes after - no auto smooth option. Where do i find it?
They changed it in the latest version of Blender. If you are using Blender 4.2 - RCLICK > Shade Auto Smooth Then go to the [Modifiers] tab, there you will see [Smooth by Angle] modifier applied to the object. Play with the [Angle] - which is in my video was called [Auto Smooth] - it's the same thing but called differently. Also, when you do RCLICK > Shade Auto Smooth the tab called 'Shade Auto Smooth' at the left bottom corner will appear. Open it and there will be the same setting as inside modifiers tab.
at 6:15 when I press F it creates this weird triangle with 1 vertex and when I press it again it does the same thing from the original origin point. Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
It's hard to say what's wrong without really seeing your mesh. Send me your .blend file so I can look what's wrong. You can find my email at RUclips About section.
@@LMHPOLY Hi, sorry for the delayed response. I finished the tutorial series and it was absolutely amazing! The problem I had was I must have accidentally extruded at some point and I have overlapping verticies. Thanks!
**1m in real world = 1m in blender(fbx) = 1m in unity?? it confuses me because the grid is very large when I want to make a very small item like a ring or flask.
@@BLNTSMK Yes, 1m in Blender = 1m in Unity. Both Blender and Unity default grid size is 1x1 meters. You can look at it as 1m in the real world, so when you model something, let's say you know what the door size in the real world is, you do the same in Blender/Unity. I don't know about 3d printing though. Never tried it yet, but I'm interested in getting a 3d printer one day. It might depend on what 3d printing software you use and how they translate the scale.
@UCcufb_envveMoDu3HJgS3zA Well if you switch to let's say the Top View Camera in Blender Viewport, you can see the grid 1x1m size from a certain distance, if you start to zoom in, you can se that the grid is divided into smaller 10x10cm squares. Zoom more, and you see 1x1mm grid squares and so on.. You can see the mesh size in the Right Side Panel (N - to open) > inside the Item tab "Dimensions". You can even type dimensions in m, cm, and mm if you want. Also, while modeling a 3d mesh in Blender while you are in Edit Mode, you can turn on "Edge Length" - which will show you all selected Edges lengths from one Vertex to another. This is very useful for measuring your meshes while modeling. I use this feature a lot when I want to recreate, let's say, my own room and all the furniture 1:1 size. You can find "Edge Length" with your mesh selected while you are in Edit Mode at the top header - a little button with an arrow facing down, if you hover on it, it says "Overlays." Click on it and enable "Edge Length" at the bottom.
I know I'm about 3 years late on this video and haven't gotten to your others so I'm not sure if you've already made these kinds of changes. I also was trying to use this as a starting from point 0 use of blender, but as a completely new user to the program it would have been useful if you had continued to display the visual key graphics you have for some of the shortcuts for things like extruding repeatedly as a reminder of the keys you need to use to accomplish some things. I found myself running into needing to go back to earlier parts to find the shortcuts and then returning to later parts of the video which had me getting lost a bit. I know these shortcuts were introduced moments prior but it can be easy to forget the exact keys when you're quickly being introduced to many within the span of a few minutes. Overall though it's quick and simple guide, but like I said at points it became hard to follow or replicate because you're going so quickly. All of the shortcuts and explanations are great but maybe not from a point of 0 experience in the program. Thanks for putting this up. EDIT: realized after I wrote this that in the bottom lefthand side of the screen it is showing the keys and buttons you're pressing. I'm officially a ding dong on the internet. My bad.
I don't understand why but when I go to part two of the video, to unwrap the barrel, in the split screen the barral is like in two halves, also the top and the bottom parts they show up in halves instead of whole.
I think your barrel didn't merge vertices at the middle when you applied the Mirror Modifier. Try to TAB - to enter the edit mode, A - to select all Vertices (Using the Vertex select mode), press RCLICK>Merge Vertices>by Distance. Maybe your Mirror modifier settings were not the same as mine at 8:25 (Merge and Clipping is on), so when you applied the Mirror modifier, it didn't merge the middle Vertices. P.S. It would be nice to see the picture of how it looks. So if this didn't work, send me an email with picture/s so I can help ;)
Good tutorial, but I wish people would show both the UI navigation as well as keyboard shortcuts. Because I always forget keyboard shortcuts and I also want to learn the UI buttons and so forth...
When I try to set the cursor to the bottom of the barrel it stays at the top, even after rotating it 180 degrees, any input? I feel like im missing something with the mirror modifier
Did you apply the mirror modifier before doing those steps of changing the cursor position? I'm not sure what you are doing wrong since I can't see it. Make sure to follow all of the steps from 8:25
@@LMHPOLY I never applied the mirror modifier. I rewatched the tutorial from the beginning and fixed the issue. Great tutorial and thank you for the timely reply!
If you want to put the object back to the center of the grid, position (0,0,0) in Object Mode, press ALT+G - to reset it's Position. ALT+R - to reset it's Rotation.
@@GameFeverFunHouse There are a few ways to change the 3d cursor location, but to move it back to the Center, press SHIFT+C. You can change its position by selecting the Cursor tool at the left toolbar. To set an accurate position by number in any axis - press N - to open the right side panel, go to View > 3D Cursor > Location. So, if you set it to (0,0,0) it will also be at the center of the grid.
Are you sure that when you moved the circle up, you have confirmed its new position by pressing 'Left Mouse' or 'Enter'? After confirming a new position - S to scale should work without any problems.
@@LMHPOLY Yes, okay i figured out the issue. it seems that i have accidently pressed a short cut which enabled one of the transform affect only options. Locations under affect only was on. that's why i was not able to scale anything. i have disabled it and now everything works fine! Thanks!

It should work on any version of Blender if you have the same mesh shape as I have. It's possible that you have overlapping vertices/extruded geometry there - this happens when you (E - to Extrude and press RCLICK or ESC trying to cancel. It doesn't cancel the Extrusion!

In this case, any time you press E-to Extrude and press RCLICK or ESC to cancel, you must then press CTRL+Z to redo the action so you don't leave overlapping Extruded geometry.
YOU CAN EASILY REMOVE OVERLAPPING GEOMETRY/VERTICES BY DOING THIS
Try "A - to select all Vertices in the Edit Mode", and "M > By Distance - to merge all overlapping vertices". You will see a message at the very bottom "Removed x Vertices". If it says "0" that means you didn't have any overlapping vertices. If it says any number, then you have overlapping vertices which are now merged together. Now, try to select that Vertex and press F to fill in the faces.
P.S. It's normal to actually select 3-4 Vertices while using SHIFT and pressing F to fill in the Face. It's what I use most of the time. But in some cases, as I showed in this video, you can fill in the face with 3 closest vertices only by selecting one corner vertex. For example, if you have a square mesh with 4 Vertices around and no face, you can select 1 Edge and press F to fill in that face instead of selecting all 4 corners. And if you only select 1 Vertex of that square with 4 Vertices and press F, you will fill in only half of that square, only 3 closest vertices makes a face. Basically you use different approaches for different circumstances. You can try it by yourself, so you can understand it better.
@@LMHPOLYSuper solid response, thanks for helping out!

Great tutorial. I learned a lot of new stuff.
thank for this information
at 6:15 when I press F nothing happens also, even though I checked the backface culling option, the inside of the object is not visible.
I'm glad i stumbled upon your post on reddit. Great tutorial

Very helpful getting me started, thanks! One thing, it looks like Shade Auto Smooth is now on the context menu for the object, not under Data Object Properties in 4.2 anymore. That took a minute of panicked confusion to figure out :-)
Yes, they changed it in Blender 4.2 update.
For people trying to find out where it is... it is now on RMB click -> Shade Auto Smooth
the best tutorial, thanks you a lot for you work
1:05 The thing you click on to open the menu is not their for me =(

I do hold alt and left click but it only select half of loop, why ?
I'm pretty sure that your mesh has overlapping vertices or not connected vertices on top of each other at the location where the Loop Selection stops.
Fix: A - to select all vertices (make sure you are in Vertex select mode (press 1)). RClick > Merge Vertices > By Distance.
@@LMHPOLY Thanks you are best
can i still use this tutorial? or is it outdated?
Yes, you can still use it!
@@LMHPOLY thanks a lot btw really cool tutorial
Thank you for the great tuts! Subed and liked! Followed your IG as well :) have a good day.
Having some difficulty hitting F to generate faces at 6:11. I'm selecting a single vertex and hitting the key, but faces that I cannot select, delete or alter are appearing on the opposite vertex at the same time and meeting in the middle. I still have to press F several times to cover the entirety of the barrel, but then the lines intersect in a kind of lattice. It doesn't seem to be too much of an issue right now but I am concerned it's going to make UV unwrapping a nightmare.
I have tried merging vertices by distance and it has not solved the problem. Very frustrating and would appreciate any advice anyone has to help sort this out.
EDIT: I am a moron. If you are having a similar issue, ensure that your "mirror" modifier is selected for Z AXIS ONLY. I was effectively mirroring any one-sided change to my barrel and hadn't noticed because all previous ammendments had been symetrical anyway.
Does the smoothing at the end effect how it exports into Unity?
To answer my own question I did a test, and to my surprise YES, shade smoothing does effect how unity imports the asset!
@@joeysipos Yes, smoothing is transferred to Unity. Mesh normals will always transfer from Blender to Unity and will look the same.
Why would I do it if it's not, lol.
gotta say.... amazing work. ik its just a barrel but still amazing work

Thanks for the series. I hope to see more tutorials from you about Unity + Blender and some optimizations techniques too.
If I wanted the planks on the top and bottom to have creases as well like the sides, How would i go about doing that?
Have you watched the texturing - (part 3/5)? I'm showing there how to texture paint planks on the sides, top, and bottom.
@@LMHPOLY Sorry, should have been more descriptive. I'm looking to use a color palette. So I assign faces to be a flat color. That way in my game engine I only have to have a single texture which is the palette. I asked online on blender stack exchange, and the answer I got was that it was not possible to get what I'm looking for without adding more vertices
@@tail1410 I want to see the visual picture of what exactly you want to achieve because I'm not 100% sure.
But if you want to add planks by using color palette texture, you can use one color for plank faces and another black color to make a fake gap in between. You can do that by adding more geometry (faces between plank faces).
Or use a 3 color gradient going from black to brown to black, and apply this gradient to every single plank. This way you can achieve a separate plank effect with the same low poly geometry and small texture.
does this tutorial fall apart immediately for anyone else? he opens a context menu @ 1:00 in the bottom left that just isnt there.
Way late but if anyone is wondering the context menu appears only when you make a change to an object.
When you spawn in an object, like he did with the cylinder, the menu will pop up, but it will close upon subsequent actions like clicking.
Thank you for the video!!
Where is the 11:20 auto smooth option in blender 4.1?
8:37 when I press Ctrl+J to join the lid and barrel, the normals of lid flips, why is it happening?
For Blender 4.1
RCLICK > Shade Smooth by Angle.
And open the tab "Shade Smooth by Angle", which should show up at the bottom left corner. There you will be able to change the smooth Angle.
If you make some changes to the mesh and want to change the smooth Angle again, repeat the steps (RCLICK > Shade Smooth by Angle; change smooth Angle at the bottom left corner.)
or
The better way is to apply the "Smooth by Angle" Modifier after you do (RCLICK > Shade Smooth by Angle.) This modifier will let you change the smooth Angle any time without any additional steps. This was changed since Blender 4.1.
------
If you press CTRL+J and some parts of the mesh appear to have flipped normals, just go to the Edit Mode, A - to select all vertices, SHIFT+N - to recalculate normals.
More about flipping normals I explain in my tutorial: ruclips.net/video/9iV9wnvpQ1U/видео.html
6:14 isnt is bad to have triangles when importing to unity? so how to get rid of the 2 triangles?
Who told you that? Of course not!
When you import to Unity any mesh will be triangulated automatically. All of the quads will be split into triangles, and if there is a Ngon, it will be also triangulated.
Nice work man :) verry detailed
Check out my new Blender and Substance Painter stylized game asset tutorial! ruclips.net/video/DnUH-LS0HxU/видео.html
What is the point to smooth the normals when you wanted those edges sharp?
I leave everything smoothed out except sidewall edges to make them look more separated, like wood planks.
I left the barrel center edge loop and those metal rings smoothed out. You can clearly see that in the video.
If you can't move the circle up, it's because you have to create the circle in object mode, or else I am not sure why this happens, but the circle doesn't get instantiated like a standalone object (you can't see it in the collections) and the barrels mirror modifier will affect the circle. Hope i helped anyone.
Turn off the 'Clipping' on the barrel mirror modifier and you won't have that problem when you can't move the circle up.
Super ! Thanks
I know this is an old video but I'm having trouble getting it to move up the Z axis like 6:48, it just slides around and doesn't go up
If it doesn't work with a middle mouse button, then just use G to grab and Z to move it by Z-axis ;)
Basically press G, then Z.
I figured out the cause of the issue, I was creating the circle in the same object as the cylinder so the mirror effect was applied to it. I see a lot of tutorials where they just hit shift a and it automatically creates objects in their own layer, I have to hit tab first before I do it. Am I missing some trick to doing this faster?@@LMHPOLY
I stumbled on this same issue - for anyone else who might come across this eventually, it happened because I added the circle under "Edit" mode.
Adding the circle in edit mode caused it to fall under the same mesh as the cylinder, and with the mirror mode + clipping made it so I couldn't move it on the Z-axis specifically
One way of identifying this was that after I added the circle, it didn't appear with its own entry in the "Collection" table on the top right.
I'm not sure why, but when I CTRL+J to join, my small pentagon mesh gets inverted, even though before I join them the normals look correct. So i undid the join, recalculated the normals on the pentagon mesh, and purposely chose "inside" to make them look flipped. So it looked wrong, but then when I did CTRL+J to join them, it corrected itself and looks fine in the end result. REALLY weird! lol any thoughts?
Hello Hey Hi ! I'll follow the tutorial series bc I need the practise but will I be able to use the obj in Unrela Engine aswell ? You rock btw
Yes. As far as I know, UE4 supports .fbx or .obj files. Export settings might be a bit different for UE because Unity and UE4 use different axis for rotation.
Thanks!
I love u. Thank u for this
Please make tutorial how to make commercial ads 🙏
I don't know the versions of blender and how they differ but there is no "Normals" category and what goes after - no auto smooth option. Where do i find it?
They changed it in the latest version of Blender.
If you are using Blender 4.2 - RCLICK > Shade Auto Smooth
Then go to the [Modifiers] tab, there you will see [Smooth by Angle] modifier applied to the object.
Play with the [Angle] - which is in my video was called [Auto Smooth] - it's the same thing but called differently.
Also, when you do RCLICK > Shade Auto Smooth
the tab called 'Shade Auto Smooth' at the left bottom corner will appear.
Open it and there will be the same setting as inside modifiers tab.
at 6:15 when I press F it creates this weird triangle with 1 vertex and when I press it again it does the same thing from the original origin point. Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
It's hard to say what's wrong without really seeing your mesh. Send me your .blend file so I can look what's wrong. You can find my email at RUclips About section.
@@LMHPOLY Hi, sorry for the delayed response. I finished the tutorial series and it was absolutely amazing! The problem I had was I must have accidentally extruded at some point and I have overlapping verticies.
Thanks!
what about the scale? is it 1m real world = 1m on blender? will this work for 3d printing principles also or will it need to be scaled differently?
**1m in real world = 1m in blender(fbx) = 1m in unity?? it confuses me because the grid is very large when I want to make a very small item like a ring or flask.
@@BLNTSMK Yes, 1m in Blender = 1m in Unity. Both Blender and Unity default grid size is 1x1 meters. You can look at it as 1m in the real world, so when you model something, let's say you know what the door size in the real world is, you do the same in Blender/Unity.
I don't know about 3d printing though. Never tried it yet, but I'm interested in getting a 3d printer one day. It might depend on what 3d printing software you use and how they translate the scale.
@UCcufb_envveMoDu3HJgS3zA Well if you switch to let's say the Top View Camera in Blender Viewport, you can see the grid 1x1m size from a certain distance, if you start to zoom in, you can se that the grid is divided into smaller 10x10cm squares. Zoom more, and you see 1x1mm grid squares and so on..
You can see the mesh size in the Right Side Panel (N - to open) > inside the Item tab "Dimensions". You can even type dimensions in m, cm, and mm if you want.
Also, while modeling a 3d mesh in Blender while you are in Edit Mode, you can turn on "Edge Length" - which will show you all selected Edges lengths from one Vertex to another. This is very useful for measuring your meshes while modeling. I use this feature a lot when I want to recreate, let's say, my own room and all the furniture 1:1 size. You can find "Edge Length" with your mesh selected while you are in Edit Mode at the top header - a little button with an arrow facing down, if you hover on it, it says "Overlays." Click on it and enable "Edge Length" at the bottom.
@@LMHPOLY I gt it! viewport overlys: chnge scale. seems to only chnge grid scale not model scale if i not wrng.
@@BLNTSMK Yes, I forgot to mention that you can change the grid scale there too.
I know I'm about 3 years late on this video and haven't gotten to your others so I'm not sure if you've already made these kinds of changes. I also was trying to use this as a starting from point 0 use of blender, but as a completely new user to the program it would have been useful if you had continued to display the visual key graphics you have for some of the shortcuts for things like extruding repeatedly as a reminder of the keys you need to use to accomplish some things. I found myself running into needing to go back to earlier parts to find the shortcuts and then returning to later parts of the video which had me getting lost a bit. I know these shortcuts were introduced moments prior but it can be easy to forget the exact keys when you're quickly being introduced to many within the span of a few minutes.
Overall though it's quick and simple guide, but like I said at points it became hard to follow or replicate because you're going so quickly. All of the shortcuts and explanations are great but maybe not from a point of 0 experience in the program. Thanks for putting this up.
EDIT: realized after I wrote this that in the bottom lefthand side of the screen it is showing the keys and buttons you're pressing. I'm officially a ding dong on the internet. My bad.
lol
Great tutorials thank you :)

I don't understand why but when I go to part two of the video, to unwrap the barrel, in the split screen the barral is like in two halves, also the top and the bottom parts they show up in halves instead of whole.
I think your barrel didn't merge vertices at the middle when you applied the Mirror Modifier.
Try to TAB - to enter the edit mode, A - to select all Vertices (Using the Vertex select mode), press RCLICK>Merge Vertices>by Distance.
Maybe your Mirror modifier settings were not the same as mine at 8:25 (Merge and Clipping is on), so when you applied the Mirror modifier, it didn't merge the middle Vertices.
P.S. It would be nice to see the picture of how it looks. So if this didn't work, send me an email with picture/s so I can help ;)
Good tutorial, but I wish people would show both the UI navigation as well as keyboard shortcuts. Because I always forget keyboard shortcuts and I also want to learn the UI buttons and so forth...
Well, I do that in my tutorials :)
When I try to set the cursor to the bottom of the barrel it stays at the top, even after rotating it 180 degrees, any input? I feel like im missing something with the mirror modifier
Did you apply the mirror modifier before doing those steps of changing the cursor position? I'm not sure what you are doing wrong since I can't see it.
Make sure to follow all of the steps from 8:25
@@LMHPOLY I never applied the mirror modifier. I rewatched the tutorial from the beginning and fixed the issue. Great tutorial and thank you for the timely reply!
How do you place something back to the default position? what do I press?
If you want to put the object back to the center of the grid, position (0,0,0)
in Object Mode, press ALT+G - to reset it's Position.
ALT+R - to reset it's Rotation.
@@LMHPOLY thank you!! what about the cursor with the red circle, I moved it and can't find a way to place it back in the center
@@GameFeverFunHouse There are a few ways to change the 3d cursor location, but to move it back to the Center, press SHIFT+C.
You can change its position by selecting the Cursor tool at the left toolbar. To set an accurate position by number in any axis - press N - to open the right side panel, go to View > 3D Cursor > Location. So, if you set it to (0,0,0) it will also be at the center of the grid.
@@LMHPOLY thank you so much
would i be able to import this into unreal engine without any problems?
Yes! You can follow (Part 4/5) of this series for exporting the barrel from Blender and it should work without any problems in UE.

I wish I found this when I started I would have learned all in one shot instead of peace by peace in the wrong order
7:00 i pressed S to scale. the number of the scale is changing but the circle is not changing in size... any help?
Are you sure that when you moved the circle up, you have confirmed its new position by pressing 'Left Mouse' or 'Enter'? After confirming a new position - S to scale should work without any problems.
@@LMHPOLY Yes, okay i figured out the issue.
it seems that i have accidently pressed a short cut which enabled one of the transform affect only options.
Locations under affect only was on. that's why i was not able to scale anything.
i have disabled it and now everything works fine!
Thanks!
