I just completed your FREE Beginner Course, and I must say you do an incredible job walking through the build step-by-step... this is so incredibly helpful! I have taken other courses online, and completed several exercises on YT, but you by far do the best at explaining Plasticity and your approach for each object as you model. I cant thank you enough for putting the time into these videos, it really shows! And I look forward to completing your other courses!
I do CAD for a living, but wanted to do some 3D modeling for fun on the side, with the hopes of eventually getting back into 3D printing. I used to use SketchUp, but the newer versions of that program are wickedly expensive and still gimped for the sort of CAD work I want to do. I tried a few other programs and couldn't get the hang of it. Plasticity just makes total sense and plays nicely with the years of MicroStation experience I've got under my belt. Thank you for helping me learn how to use this wicked program!
at 40:15 you made a straight loft between the 2 circles, instead of a curved profile. It would have be so much helpful to do like the sketch, curved, because it's really a struggle for a beginner when you want to do it but don't know how.. I finished by finding how to do but after 30mn of research lol
Nikita, I had completely memorized everything you said in this video. With five minutes left, I ran to the kitchen for a paper towel - sneezed and somehow forgot all of it. Now, I am watching it for the second time. You are very good with this and we love it. I will probably order and download this tonight. I like this better than Solidworks.Thank you sir. //ji
For any new users, the tab to scale from center at 5:00 might not work. However you can press and hold on the corner rectangle button and the option of a center rectangle will appear.
Great demo. I learned so much in the first half that in the second half of the video I would see what you were about to do and try the next few steps myself without guidance. It was really interesting to do it my way and then go back and see how you would do those steps because then I was learning two ways. Very helpful video, thank you!
Awesome tactic that you are applying! This is definitely an even better way to try it yourself. Also you might come up with your own unique workflows. Because there are usually many ways to achieve the same result. What are you using Plasticity for? And are you using it professionally or as a hobby?
Yes exactly. But those techniques I am showing here are super basic just for an introduction. You can model very complex shapes with surface modeling techniques. And the whole workflow ill be different then Blender. It's different but I find it so much fun and it can be dine so fast. Definitely check it out. If this video is too fast, there are some very very basic instructional tutorials on Plasticity. If you try it out, I would appreciate some feedback!:) Enjoy and have a nice week ahead
Dont worry dude. Its not to fast, since im used to Hardops/Boxcutter that all looks pretty self-explenatory. But youve done a good job explaining it. I think i could easily get the same result with hardops/boxcutter in the same time. But with plasticity i would not have to worry about cleaning potential shading errors, thats what i find interessting . Is it possible to do unwrapping in plasticity?
@@hoodboyslim Yeah for basic props like that you can surely model it in the same time or faster in Blender. But CAD has a lot of advantages over polygonal modeling to create more complex shapes. UV unwrapping inside of Plasticity is not possible. You have to export it as a mesh and do the UV work in Blender (for now)
I know you said you could have done it a better way, but at about 24:00woudn't it be easier to just put the handle shaped upper box object, and use that to make a Boolean cut? I'm brand new to Plasticity... this is actually my first tutorial, but I have done a little Blender. Hoping to use both together.
Just bought a 3D printer and wanted to print my own stuff, never worked with CAD, spent a few days trying out different ones, Freecad, Onshape, etc. They turned out to be very complicated and to my mind, required too many unnecessary actions when creating a model, while in Plasticity I was able to create my first model in just an hour or so, very intuitive and easy to pick up.
17:13 plasicity is becoming hard and annoying thanks to the controls being very inconsistant, press tab didnt do anything nor some of the shortcut keys and controls most tutorials used, dont know why so much inconsistantcy cant follow a full tutorials thanks to this issue of shortcut keys never work as the instructor intended, using 1.4 version, did the developer swapped or changed the shortcut keys now? cuz most shortcut keys mentioned in every tutorials about 8 months ago seems to not be working in my plasticity version of 1.4 whats going on?
Sehr einfach dich zu verfolgen Super Programm. Ich bin mehr so Hobby Bastler und neu in 3D Bereich und war für mich sehr schwierig andere CAD Programm zu lernen. Aber das hier ist der Hammer Ich habe mir das geholt . Dankeschön 👍👍 👍
Hey Nikita, great tutorial ! I tried the program and I like it a lot, but I have problems with UV unwrapping in C4D and RizomUV - the mesh is not great - could you create a video with UVs and a full video about Plasticity to C4D workflow? From modelling to render? Thanks 🎉
this parametric/CAD modeling is fun... I used these types of apps like MOI and Rhinoceros. This one has a much cleaner UI like MOI. Thanks for the tutorial man
So when importing to a software like to blender, to UV unwrap, then substance, etc etc. The model you create is very low poly? I am newer to the field, but my focus is on high fidelity stuff for film. So would a program like this create high quality enough models?, I’ve seen pictures of the cars, but different from a rendered driving scene. Would you just need to do some sub-diving and adjusting of topology in blender afterwards? Thanks for the videos, and the software really looks great and fun to use.
Hi Jacob, Great question! You can create in Plasticity a low-poly version of the model (without fillets and less details). Save it. Then create a high-poly model to bake the texture maps etc into Normal map etc... SO than you can use the low-poly 3d model version in Games or something like that. If you want a more detailed high-poly version of the model you can create as many details as you want in Plasticity and export it as a mesh. So you can unwrap it further and use in film and however you want. Regarding adjusting topology in Blender. Normally, you create a 3D model in Plasticity as you want it and export it as a mesh and import it into Blender. You get pretty good mesh results already in Plasticity but it's not something you can work further and "adujust" with a SubD workflow. But you don't really need it because you can just create the model as you need fully in Plasticity and then use it in Film/Texturing in Blender. I hope it answers your question. Let me know if you need anything else. Enjoy!
Ngons are not a problem at all if your model is not deformed or rigged or something like that. The shading is exported very well and in most cases looks good in the renderer
I noticed the options that appear in the lower right as you are working. That is very handy. For me, when I was making the square, the option to center it wasn't "tab", but "C" instead. Has that changed our do I have a different default for some reason?
Omg that is so much easier to use than F360, the fact that you can select the center of a square sounds insignificant but holy crap that was tedious in F360, you had to hover over two edges to get the center point of each them to get the intersection between mid points. Literally my only gripe with this program is the units are in meters, creating stuff with more precision is difficult at that scale and I can't find any way to change it aside from altering the grid size which isn't very helpful.
Awesome to hear! Yeah Plasticity is just "Plug and play" so much fun and speed to work with. You can change the grid size by going top left -> settings -> Grid & Units and set it to milimeters :)
@@nikita.kapustin 2:18 near the beginning you show us a preview of the finished model, at first it looked like the slots that could be made with a tool in an older version of plasticity, the Create hole > Slot tool, but looking closer it doesnt appear to be the slots I was thinking of. Sorry about that. Really great tutorial though, thank you so much.
@@fotenks No problem. Honestly, I don't know about any slot tool in PLasticity. At least I haven't used it for creating this model. If you mean by slot the top hole/circle, I showed in the tutorial how I boolean it out in the end. I think I am not getting what you exactly mean but I showed in the tutorial every little step that I did. But in anyway I am glad you find it helpful and hopefully solved your question!:)
Awesome tutorial !! a little question : when i draw a circle it is not perfectly round there are segments, how can i increase the number of segments ? thanks again
Hey nice job! I'm also learning Plasticity and seeing a video like this was great to help reinforce everything. Keep up the great work and I'd be glad to see any future Plasticity videos you make!
@@nikita.kapustin New tutorials like this one in Plasticity will always be welcome! It is a new tool and there is not much material about it. Tutorials about Hard Surface, Organic Shapes, are the ones that will attract new followers to your channel.Please continue with these contents. Thanks again!
Thank you so very much for your tutorial. It lets a prospective subscriber have a very good idea of what the software can do and how to do it. Building a complete model is very helpful to explain the many functions that were required to make the entire model. 🙂
does it include global variables and parametrics? I don't use them too often, but when i do, i need them bad Looks super smooth. Solidworks is great, but this looks more fun and interactive, and a bit less dry
@@nikita.kapustin say you wanted a plate with four holes, and sometimes that plate has to be bigger, or the holes have to change sizes. You create a 'global variable' called 'holesize', and tell the holes that they are now 'holesize' big. Now you make 'holesize' equal to whatever size you need, and all four holes automatically grow or shrink to the correct size. Parametrics is using tools like that to create parts where some dimensions are the result of mathematical relations between other dimensions, or can be changed by changing variables
Awesome! Welcome to the Plasticity Revolution :)) Great program, I am sure you will enjoy it a lot. If you have any further questions regarding he courses, let me know:)
very easy to follow. love plasticity tuts. love the real time pace. nice explanations as your working. tuts are also an art form let me assure you. cheers!
@@nikita.kapustin Sorry for not explaining well, I mean importing a 3d model and then create hard surface on it without remeshing the origiginal UV , for example
I’m not understanding how you’re freely rotating the solid object seemingly with your mouse, I’m using a MacBook Pro with the trackpad. I’ve tried option Click, shift click.
NIKITA, DO YOU HAVE ANY VIDEOS WHERE YOU TAKE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS MODEL AND MAKE SHOP DRAWINGS FROM IT, I WOULD APPRECIATE LEARNING THAT TASK ALSO, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS... BRIAN
hey nikita I'm a new sub to your channel I just found the program and following your tutorial it looks so good :) I also saw your old videos about advices I love them...I have a just a question do you think it's possible to get a good clean mesh of that in 3DS MAX ?
Thanks for your feedback! I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. But you can export your Plasticity models with the exporter as a obj-mesh and then import it into 3DS max and further work with it
Столько пустого места. Можно было посадки на быстрые клавиши вставить (не на те что уже есть. А на некоторые их тех что озвучивает ведущий). Скругления лучше делать в конце (имхо). Иногда мешают правильно разместить что-то.
This video is very good, i'm very new to 3d modeling and i discover this awesome program to integrate with blender, this video help me a lot to get started with this program 😊😊❤❤
@@nikita.kapustin I used to be a game developer with godot and unity and occasionally used blender to modify some assets, at some point I started to get into it. Recently (3 weeks ago) I was hired at an architectural firm as a 3d modeler (they really trusted my ability to learn) and I'm using autocad + sketchup to do so architectural models. At my home after work I am delving a lot into blender the fields I want to delve into are hard surfaces (I love mecha and robots) and that is the field where I will use plasticity, then I am interested in sculpting, but for that the tools already in blender are more than fine (no need to go to zbrush) and finally I am interested in the animation part, in which I want to combine the things I create into animations also with rigging. All this obviously as a hobby and not directly related to work but these are things that maybe will come in handy in the future. Ps. I hope I didn't make any mistakes, I'm Italian and every now and then I might miss some words in English
@@Freshmograph Yeah I think I personally will do most modeling work in Plasticity and just import it into Cinema4D and do the whole rendering work etc.. Are you normaly modeling in Cinema4D with polygons?
@@Freshmograph The cool think about CAD is because you don't have to think always about the polygon count you can get much easier into flow and just "do it" what works and looks good. and only at the VERY end when you export it, you can decide how many polygons you want :D
Ein sehr schönes Tutorial sogar in englisch für die meisten Leute, aber ich finde du könntest auch nochmal auf deutsch machen, denn deutsche tutoriak sind oder werden leider immer seltener, Danke schon im Vorraus *Daumen hoch*
Yes its fun but dont forget the down side of nurbs modeling, when you import you most probably wont be able to sub complex models, as a result you will have to export a heavy model, and uv will be hell. Now if you use substance painter it will be fine. It is great no doubt, but its not suited for everything. You can always retopo
UVing is fine if it's not to crazy detailed and triangulated. Nurbs and SubD workflow have different needs and have both advantages. It depends for what you need it.
Anyone here, who can tell me, how to make a hole? I tried it like in Fusion 360 with a negative extrusion, but seems, that it doesn't work in Plasticity.
Although plastic looks cool and all, also looks like a long-winded way to get results. have it installed and followed the tuts then recreated the objects in modo and blender and was faster in both of these apps. taking nothing away from plastic but just another thing to learn.

@@nikita.kapustin Any chance to include remeshing tips? such as QuadRemesher
Nice video. I ask myself why Blender didn’t use this kind of nurbs moddeling. But 99€ for CAD is good price
I guess because of different use cases.
Yeah 99€ with Parasolid kernel is extremely cheap
to export IGES you need 300€ , and IGES is what I want for 3dsMax
Thanks for tutorial! Tan mean Tangent it will return slope of the curve, in your case slope of the circle on specific point!

Hey, working with ngon are not a problem for hard surface modelling ? and is there a retopology tools built in to fix that ?
Ngons are not a problem at all if your model is not deformed or rigged or something like that.
The shading is exported very well and in most cases looks good in the renderer
I noticed the options that appear in the lower right as you are working. That is very handy.
For me, when I was making the square, the option to center it wasn't "tab", but "C" instead. Has that changed our do I have a different default for some reason?
Yes it changed in some later version
Omg that is so much easier to use than F360, the fact that you can select the center of a square sounds insignificant but holy crap that was tedious in F360, you had to hover over two edges to get the center point of each them to get the intersection between mid points.
Literally my only gripe with this program is the units are in meters, creating stuff with more precision is difficult at that scale and I can't find any way to change it aside from altering the grid size which isn't very helpful.

Parametrics is using tools like that to create parts where some dimensions are the result of mathematical relations between other dimensions, or can be changed by changing variables

Awesome! Welcome to the Plasticity Revolution :))
Great program, I am sure you will enjoy it a lot.
If you have any further questions regarding he courses, let me know:)
It’s great if you’re just modeling by eye but I’m hopeful that, in time, this can replace fusion 360. At least for my 3d printing needs.
Exactly. It's just installing and starting directly with modeling and experimenting with shapes:)
Is it better to learn plasticity and blender since you can use blender bridge or just plasticity.Not sure to focus on both or one
Plasticity is just for modeling. Blender is everything else like texturing, maetrials, rendering, animation, motion effects etc. etc.
Can you also tell the key on mac m series also, bcs i tap tab key and there's no respon on my app to same all side rectangle
Press C
Very interesting for sure. I’m definitely going to try this out

would love to see a work flow tutorial from Plascity into Substance painter for texturing.
I am not using substance painter.
But here you have a tutorial on that
ruclips.net/video/zRT0vPA-37E/видео.html
how do you get the 3d view? im stuck in top down view
In the version I'm using you can middle-click and drag and it rotates out of the front/top/left views (1.2.10 for Windows)
Столько пустого места. Можно было посадки на быстрые клавиши вставить (не на те что уже есть. А на некоторые их тех что озвучивает ведущий). Скругления лучше делать в конце (имхо). Иногда мешают правильно разместить что-то.
pressing Tab doesnt mirror the rectangle on the axis for me. Any ideas why not? Seems i failed at the very first hurdle.
Press C
It changed
👍 Beginner here. More please!
Will definitely do! Welcome on board!:)
can this be used for games ?
Yes sure. You can create a low/high - poly version of it and unwrap it in another software
This video is very good, i'm very new to 3d modeling and i discover this awesome program to integrate with blender, this video help me a lot to get started with this program 😊😊❤❤
Thanks! Glad it helps.
In which modeling field are you usually interested in?
@@nikita.kapustin I used to be a game developer with godot and unity and occasionally used blender to modify some assets, at some point I started to get into it. Recently (3 weeks ago) I was hired at an architectural firm as a 3d modeler (they really trusted my ability to learn) and I'm using autocad + sketchup to do so architectural models. At my home after work I am delving a lot into blender the fields I want to delve into are hard surfaces (I love mecha and robots) and that is the field where I will use plasticity, then I am interested in sculpting, but for that the tools already in blender are more than fine (no need to go to zbrush) and finally I am interested in the animation part, in which I want to combine the things I create into animations also with rigging. All this obviously as a hobby and not directly related to work but these are things that maybe will come in handy in the future.
Ps. I hope I didn't make any mistakes, I'm Italian and every now and then I might miss some words in English
Sugerencia: No muevas el cursor del mouse tan rápido porque genera cansancio visual y distracción. Gracias por los tutoriales.
Absolutey incredible!
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it a lot!
What exactly did you found incredible?
@@nikita.kapustin the clear instructions and explanations of your steps. This is what Autodesk should have been years ago... Imho
how can I get a bridge for blender?
It's in development.
НИКИТА СПАСИБО ТЕБЕ АГРОМНОЕ, ТЕПЕРЬ Я БУДУ ДЕЛАТЬ ПУШКИ
🔫🔫🔫
This really helps! Thank you very much!
От всей души тебя благодарю!
Thank you for the great overview!
Glad it was helpful!
@@nikita.kapustin I'm loving Placiticy and I'm excited to see how I can incorporate it into my C4D workflow.
@@Freshmograph Yeah I think I personally will do most modeling work in Plasticity and just import it into Cinema4D and do the whole rendering work etc..
Are you normaly modeling in Cinema4D with polygons?
@@nikita.kapustin Yes, I have never used a CAD program before so not having to worry about polygon count is new for me.
@@Freshmograph The cool think about CAD is because you don't have to think always about the polygon count you can get much easier into flow and just "do it" what works and looks good. and only at the VERY end when you export it, you can decide how many polygons you want :D
I love your German accent , it’s so cute!
🇩🇪🍻
Very helpful tutorial, thank you!
Thank you! Nice demo!
why i can't get a perfect rectabgle when i pressed tab?
Try press "C" when you draw that rectangel. It changed in the newer version
@@nikita.kapustin noted. can you make a new one for the plasticity version 1?
@@NERO-ez1mn Will do
@@nikita.kapustin thank you 🙂 even the subdivided curve hs been updated 😞
well explained and Tool likes nice. could you please make a tutorial to create a human character
Plasticity is not suited for human characters. For that check out Blender/ZBrush
Definitely make more videos like this
Will come:)
Принцип скругления и фаски прям очень похож как реализовано в Shapr3D
Can not save as STL file?
Currently STL is not supported. I am sure it will come in the future
@@nikita.kapustin Does display the measurement of modeling?
Ein sehr schönes Tutorial sogar in englisch für die meisten Leute, aber ich finde du könntest auch nochmal auf deutsch machen, denn deutsche tutoriak sind oder werden leider immer seltener, Danke schon im Vorraus *Daumen hoch*
Danke.
Die meisten deutschen Leute verstehen auch hervorragend english. Deswegen bleibe ich bei englisch, da ich mit DE auch nichts am Hut habe.
Yes its fun but dont forget the down side of nurbs modeling, when you import you most probably wont be able to sub complex models, as a result you will have to export a heavy model, and uv will be hell. Now if you use substance painter it will be fine. It is great no doubt, but its not suited for everything. You can always retopo
UVing is fine if it's not to crazy detailed and triangulated.
Nurbs and SubD workflow have different needs and have both advantages. It depends for what you need it.
Plasticity is not NURBS
@@SuperSuperka what is it then?
@@rd-cv4vm *Solid body* modeler, while NURBS is *surface* modeler
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Как его установить? Скачал бесплатную версию,установил, требуется имейл и пароль , ввожу, пишет ошибку!((
Write an email to nick@plasticity.xyz
He can help you.
great tutorial! thx!!
Your english is yes times right denglish sounding ;) Trotzdem Dank Dir.
Anyone here, who can tell me, how to make a hole? I tried it like in Fusion 360 with a negative extrusion, but seems, that it doesn't work in Plasticity.
NIKITA IN ADDITION TO THAT WOULD YOU ADVISE RECOMMENDED COMPUTER, CPU. GPU, RAM AND SSD, THAT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL, TNX, BRIAN.
awesome tutorial, thanks so much!! loved it!
right at the end after exporting it, it crashed xD
You're welcome!:)
Yeah sometimes Plasticity is a bit unprepared when a huge export operation is incoming 😁
For what are you using Plasticity?
@@nikita.kapustin i am looking for an alternative to zbrush for concepting hardsurface stuff :)
you cant invert the fillet
Although plastic looks cool and all, also looks like a long-winded way to get results. have it installed and followed the tuts then recreated the objects in modo and blender and was faster in both of these apps. taking nothing away from plastic but just another thing to learn.
Awesome
Beginner Tut🤕? Wie komme ich mit dem Würfel in den perspective Mode? Mist
Wenn du absolut komplett Neuling bist, dann empfehle ich dir diesen kostenlosen Kurs
nikitakapustin.com/free-plasticity-course
Der fängt bei komplett 0 an und erklärt all die basis Funktionalitäten etc..
Никита Капустин четко шпарит на английском. 😁👍

ah plasticity, definetely sub
Welcome on board!:) WIll definitely do many more videos on Plasticity!
Mega dope
Thanks! What do you liked most in this tutorial and what would you like to see next?
@@nikita.kapustin I would lovr to see a rhino and blender workflow. Also can you make a tutorial related to automotive design using plasticity 3d
@@nikita.kapustin do one with substance painter too
nAILED IT...ThANKS
Ver nice video, thanks. Just a suggestion (please don‘t be offended): Click a little less around, please ;)
Thanks. Yeah my mouse enjoy to click loudly around 🤷🏻♂️
Please keep the tutorials coming. I just subscribed :)
awesome soft
tnx
Great tuto but already things have changed, Tab will now display a measure box.
seems so much easier to use than MOI 3d
Exactly. Super intuitive and simple to use.
🤔 уроки огонь!!! а по русски можно?
