Hi, Live your dreams. Glad to see you stuck with it and made it through the series. I will be releasing some more intermediate level tutorials soon, so hopefully, you'll find those to be a great extension to this series. Cheers, Kevin :)
Hi Kevin! I am an architect finding new interests in product design to extend my creativity through Cad. This is the first Fusion360 tutorial series I am following and I feel very comfortable now at Day 10. I am excited to see how people appreciate the videos at the end and I am more determined than ever to complete mine. Thanks!
Amazing Series for beginners Kev. Now I start feeling very comfortable with this software. We need more tutors like you. Your videos are short, concise but effective. Keep us motivated in learning more to what seem to be very complicated at first. Keep going & well done. ;) Cant stop having a dose of this every day.
Thanks for all your work. I finished all 30 days today. I now have a good starting understanding of 360. I am very impressed with this CAD/CAM/+ system. I used UG and CATIA in the past. It is amazing to me how capable this software is. It will be all I need for my personal use in 3D printing and CNC routing. I plan on using your many other videos as I learn more about Fusion 360. Thank again. Hope you can keep this site going for a long time!!!! I am a patron member.
Hi, Liderc. I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed my series and that you're getting better and better at F360. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my content. Keep at it!...and don't hesitate to comment questions on any of my videos. Cheers, Kevin :)
I finished the last your tutorials today, and I must say that it has really helped me get a grip about fusion 360 and its possibilities! Thank you for all the hard work.
Thank You Keven, you did good with this 30 day series. I have watched them all and am lookin forward to putting this knowledge to use on my projects. I am a Hobby user and really enjoy using F360. In the 80"-'90"s I used Autocad for work. F360 is so much more fun to use. I have 3d printed a few of my projects with great success. Again Thank you!
Thanks, Rich! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the series. Is your primary use of Fusion 360 for 3D printing or other uses (woodworking, CAM, etc)? Cheers, Kevin :)
KevenI use F360 for Garden Railroad Projects and also Laser Art & Displays. My latest project was a Night light using Acrylic and a 3d printed Cone. Everything was drawn in F360 The Cone was 3d Printed and all the acrylic was cut with my laser engraver. The Night Light can be see on my web. I just added the Dwg to the page. My site is Latheart.com The Night light is on the Laser project page. My next project is to make a stand for the remotes. And so it goes....
Thanks, hoggif. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the series. Be sure to check out some of my latest videos where I go into user parameters and some other core features. Best of luck with all your Fusion 360 projects! Cheers, Kevin :)
Many thanks for this series, just starting to use Fusion 360, moving over from TurboCad, have learned a lot, will watching a lot more of your videos, thanks again.

Hi, vaasanthass k. Glad to hear you enjoyed the series and that you were able to complete the projects as well. Thanks for following along! Cheers, Kevin :)
Yes, thank you Kevin for a great video series. I feel pretty confident and will start a simple jigsaw puzzle which should be a challenge as the pieces mirror touching faces.
Thank you very much sir for your time and effort. I just finished your entire learn fusion 360 in 30 days playlist and I really enjoyed it and learned A LOT!! I went from never using a CAD program, besides a little TinkerCad, to feeling really comfortable in fusion 360. I've liked and subscribed and am looking forward to watching your other videos. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!
thank you a lot to make this possible Mr Kevin , it been wonderful experience to finish successfully this serie with you in just two weeks. I am very happy with the way you explain us . Thank you again
Thank you Kevin for these clear & concise tutorials. I've just finished the 360 in 30 playlist and it was very helpful. I've been using AutoCAD for 20 years & love the functionality in 360. Any suggestions for which video/playlist to start next? Thanks again!
Hi, cl dyment. Glad to hear that! What types of projects are you wanting to use Fusion 360 for? That will help me steer you in the right direction per type of modeling/methods. I have several playlists oriented towards types of modeling and projects - ruclips.net/user/productdesignonlineplaylists

Thanks to this virus situation, I've been able to fly through this series of videos. I thought I was fairly decent in my Fusion 360 abilities, but I was able to learn a lot from this. I'd really like to become more proficient at sculpting for personal design projects and possible 3D printing. I look forward to viewing any more advanced tutorials you have on that or any other design techniques. Thank you.
Glad to hear you're making the most of the situation! Be sure to check out my playlists - ruclips.net/user/productdesignonlineplaylists I have more intermediate tutorials grouped on there...more on the way :)

Glad to hear that! Be sure to check out the playlists page of my channel. I've organized other tutorials by category and some more intermediate level tutorials, which should help you continue to learn :)
Hi, Sterling. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the series! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and follow along...and I'm glad it sounds like you learned a lot! Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks for following along with the series, Carlos! I'm glad to hear you learned a lot! I'm starting to create more intermediate level content, so hopefully, you will pick up some new skills with that as well. Cheers, Kevin :)
This series has been fantastic, it's really helped me get to grips with this software. There's still a lot to learn, but it seems like if I'm having trouble understanding something, you already have another video that covers it in more detail! It must be a lot of effort to put together these videos in such an easy to understand way, so thanks for all your hard work, it's very appreciated.
Thanks, Hasan! I'm glad you learned a lot! Please don't ever hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any Fusion 360 questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Hi, I have been following this 30 day course. Is very instructive and easy to understand. Very good and well thought out course well done. Keep up the good work m8.
Thank you Kevin. Fantastic tutorial ! If you could add a video each for motion links and contact sets after joints video, it will make this series complete in all respects. Once again thank you very much.
Clear an useful are the words which come to my mind when I think to your tutorials Kevin, thank you very much ! One question about the animation side : you say rightly Fusion 360 may not be the right tool for complex animations, and of course you are right, but is it possible to animate some basic behaviors, like for instance here the tank going forward with its wheel rolling, and the tower turning right and left ?
Amazing tutorial. Thank you! I followed all 30 days. I hope you could make a tutorial for car design. I'm thinking it would be a good addition to your other tutorials as your instructional methodology would help a lot with all the intricacies of designing the surface of a car from beginning to end. Thanks again.
Hi Kevin, Just finished your 30 days beginners playlist. The best tutorials I came across. What a nice surprise after my earlier experience in ACAD RUclips video's (long time ago). Well structured and well explained without unnecessary detailing. Thank you so much. What will be your advice for the next step in my case knowing that my interest lies in mainly mechanical designs, CNC and 3D printing?
Great course, learned a lot. parametric modelling is new for me as I've always used Rhino. Chose to switch and expand modelling skills to Fusion instead of Solidworks and pretty happy about it, mostly thanks to your course. But what's next after this course to learn modelling advanced designs?
Great work, Brandon! After making it through this series... I always try to recommend a certain type of modeling technique based on the projects you'll most likely be working on. Remind me again, what are you mainly using Fusion 360 for? I have several playlists, which can help you learn surfacing, sculpting, etc - ruclips.net/user/productdesignonlineplaylists
Product Design Online mostly I just enjoy making things to 3d print. I have a couple of simple products that I designed, print and sell. But I am also interested in learning more about organic form modeling. I really am enjoying this so much I wish I could switch careers now and do this as a living.
hi kevin, Amazing tutorial I feel like I have learnt basics of fusion 360.I am student not specified to certain project,can you suggest What should be watched next??
I finished it in 3 months! (Learned others parts during the time) I'm graduated from complete beginner!!! (BTW the tank model isn't available for people to download so I just played with two sphere in different sizes.) Although I hadn't made many models or product designs yet but...I will try. I will stay still, master, there is still bunch I have to learn, thanks for your teachings so far ：）
Congrats! I'm glad to hear you finished the course/series. You can access all the updated demo files here - productdesignonline.com/fusion-360 Best of luck with your future projects :)
Dear Kevin, thank you for great fusion 360 videos. They are really helpful and clear to understand. One question, could you do step-by-step tutorial how to model this tank or something like that? Thanks in advance.
Hi, _AlphaReturns_. I don't plan on making any YT tutorials for that, as I don't want my channel to get any violations. Maybe in the future I can upload a similar tutorial directly to my website.
This was really helpful! Thanks! Is there a way to get the annotation (the text itself) to show up during the animation? I would love to have some pop-up notes appear during my animation.
Thanks for this series. Helped me improve my Fusion 360 skills. One question about the animation workspace. Is it possible to animate a rendered version, for a more realistic appearance in the output video?
Hi, Spencer. I'm glad you enjoyed the series and learned a lot - thanks for following along. Unfortunately, you can only render motion links. Fusion 360 does not currently have the ability to combine a render and these full timeline animations. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thank You for the series, Now I will be starting one of your other playlists. Just something that bugs me a lot about the animation making is that it doesn't allow to move the components based on the joins. It gets so annoying when you want to animate how something works but you can only explode them. I hope soon they add a feature like "motion study" from assemble menu to animation page.
Thank you so much for your hard work and effort to do these videos which are great and very clear. I cann't think of anything you could do "better", it seems to me that the videos are perfect as they are. I hope you will reach 100'000 plus suscriptions or more in no time. thank you again.
Hi, Victor. Great question! Unfortunately, at this time only the background can be changed in the Render environment. The animation workspace is still pretty limited, not sure if they have plans to further develop it anytime soon as the priorities seem to be Design and Manufacture workspaces. Cheers, Kevin :)
Product Design Online Thank you very much for your reply! Your channel is very professionally made, I already subscribed, I hope you do well in your life!
@@victorrascon1716 Thanks! I appreciate your support. Best of luck with your projects and don't hesitate to comment if you ever have Fusion 360 questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Hey, 4FunRC. The Animation Workspace is not the most intuitive... it certainly takes some "playing around" with to get used to it. If you think you'll utilize it for any product/assembly animations then it's definitely worth the effort. Thanks for your continued support! Cheers, Kevin :)
Hi, Chris. I'll have to make a page on my website with more in-depth recommendations and comparisons. In the meantime, here are some of the top couple of "hobbyists/small business" CNC and 3D Printers that I would recommend. CNC Machines -Carbide 3D Shapeoko -Inventables X-Carve -Mysweety CNC 3018PRO-M Mini (Budget) 3D Printers -Ultimaker (if you’re going to run prints everyday/24 hours) -Prusa i3 mk3 -Creality3D Ender-3 (Budget) I should note that these are all ones that I own, have owned, or have personally seen in action/recommendations from friends. There are definitely some more out there that could be on this list. As far as combo ones, I know there are a few out there, but I personally wouldn't recommend that. I've found that they either work well in one realm and not the other. Or, the required setup to switch from one type to the other makes it somewhat impractical to have it for both. I hope this helps a bit! Cheers, Kevin :)
which software is the best to choose when dealing with advanced animation and rendering (solidworks or Maya or what you prefer ) and thanks alot kevin for this tutorials .
Hi, Ahmed Adel Ali. I actually prefer KeyShot for advanced rendering and animation. It's very pricey though...so my second alternative would be 3Ds Max or Maya. Cheers, Kevin :)
Can u make a video of designing any vehicle like a car, tank etc. if you can. And also suggest what all should we know in fusion 360 to design the tank u did. Tell how you did the body and the tires
Hi, vaasanthass k. To design curvature of a car you will want to "master" the surface modeling tools that are all found under the "Surface" tab in the new toolbar UI. These surface tools let you focus on the exterior curvature, without worrying about the thickness until later on. For something like this take, you can complete it using the Solid modeling tools. It was created using the loft and sweep and extrude commands for almost all of its features. The key is to break it down into achievable sections that you can recreate with simple geometry. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thank you. Really helpfull series. Just weird that Animation has to be in Recording mode to actually perform the view changes. Also when Exporting. I'm using Community version 2.0.12888.
Thank you, Akash. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. To help me create more Fusion 360 content please subscribe and share my videos with others looking to learn Fusion 360 for free! Cheers, Kevin :)
Hey Kevin, thank you so much for this great series! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot so I can finally leave FreeCAD and use this way better program now! Great to have people like you :) I have one question: let's say I have modelled a pen and also modelled a text that the pen is supposed to write. I am able to let the pen move along the text but I want to make the text appear piece by piece as the pen moves along. How would I do that or what do I have to search for? I've been searching online but it seems that I am not using the right words... Thank you!
Hi, MrsGynny. First, thanks for taking the time to follow along with the series! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it and learned a lot. In regards to the pen animation, I'm afraid that Fusion 360's animation workspace is not the best solution for what you're trying to achieve. Fusion 360's animation workspace is fairly limited. It was built more for the presentation of design ideas...to show how a model works or was built. Therefore, there aren't really any features that let you make additions to the surrounding environment. You may be better off exporting your Fusion 360 built pen model into another program, such as Blender or 3Ds Max. Those programs will give you a lot more creative freedom to achieve what you're describing above. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking of blender as well as an alternative. Stupid question but what kind of format should I export my objects to make them useable in blender?
@Kevin - Since animation only works with components, not bodies, my question is; If I build a component, can F360 still generate G-code for my CNC milling operations? thanks!!
Hi Getis. Yes, that is correct - components can be used in the Manufacture (CAM) environment. In fact, it's actually best you have components. I would recommend watching my video that covers bodies vs components - ruclips.net/video/TzG2deElWqI/видео.html It clears up some of the confusion around them :)
Thanks for the great tutorial:) Is there a way to change background colour to green for further editing in Filmora video editor? I know I could do blue screen as well but I have blue parts in my design and the editor will make them transparent as well.
Hi, Uroš. Unfortunately, there is not a way to easily change the background color within the Animation Workspace (at least at the moment). There is a workaround where you can somewhat achieve this by changing the background color in the Render Workspace and then create a motion study, similar to what's done in this video - ruclips.net/video/GJD2_u0s2z0/видео.html Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline thanks again for really quick response. In the meantime I discovered a way :) I simply made another object behind my design an painted it in matte green,non reflective surface.Just like in the real world. And it worked ;) Thanks to your tutorials on RUclips I am able to design and present the product for your kind of work. Still work in progress but coming to an end soon.I’ll keep you posted.
@@uroskrompic3767 Great workaround you figured out! Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I'm happy to see you're learning a lot. Keep me posted with how it goes! Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline hi again. I promised to keep you updated......here it is......designed and animated in Fusion 360. Edited in Filmora 9. ruclips.net/video/hnSj2O_fSqE/видео.html And YES, I really am a bus driver in real life ;)
I would love to be able to custom design chess pieces for my son. Would sculpting be the best way to go? Would you show us how?. Thanks for the great lessons.
Hi, Tubeularful. Can you provide some images of what you had in mind? There are a lot of variations of chess pieces. The type of modeling would depend heavily on the type of design. Cheers, Kevin :)
Now that I've wrapped up this series... time for some sculpting videos. Any sculpting ideas? Comment them below!

Well structured and well explained without unnecessary detailing. Thank you so much. What will be your advice for the next step in my case knowing that my interest lies in mainly mechanical designs, CNC and 3D printing?
Great series! What series or videos would you recommend after completing Learn Fusion 360 in 30 days?
Great course, learned a lot. parametric modelling is new for me as I've always used Rhino. Chose to switch and expand modelling skills to Fusion instead of Solidworks and pretty happy about it, mostly thanks to your course. But what's next after this course to learn modelling advanced designs?
I finally made it through all 30 days!!! That was awesome. What do you recommend to start on next?
Great work, Brandon! After making it through this series... I always try to recommend a certain type of modeling technique based on the projects you'll most likely be working on. Remind me again, what are you mainly using Fusion 360 for?
I have several playlists, which can help you learn surfacing, sculpting, etc - ruclips.net/user/productdesignonlineplaylists
Product Design Online mostly I just enjoy making things to 3d print. I have a couple of simple products that I designed, print and sell. But I am also interested in learning more about organic form modeling. I really am enjoying this so much I wish I could switch careers now and do this as a living.
you are the best Kevin！
hi kevin, Amazing tutorial I feel like I have learnt basics of fusion 360.I am student not specified to certain project,can you suggest What should be watched next??
I finished it in 3 months! (Learned others parts during the time)
I'm graduated from complete beginner!!! (BTW the tank model isn't available for people to download so I just played with two sphere in different sizes.)
Although I hadn't made many models or product designs yet but...I will try.
I will stay still, master, there is still bunch I have to learn, thanks for your teachings so far ：）
Congrats! I'm glad to hear you finished the course/series.
You can access all the updated demo files here - productdesignonline.com/fusion-360
Best of luck with your future projects :)
Thank you Kevin!
TOP tutorial! Thank you!
As always, excellent... Thank you.
Thanks, Wm Robert Leschyna! I appreciate the kind words. Cheers, Kevin :)
Love it!!! Super helpful video Thx!
Dear Kevin, thank you for great fusion 360 videos. They are really helpful and clear to understand. One question, could you do step-by-step tutorial how to model this tank or something like that? Thanks in advance.
i finished this year ago it was sooo helpful
Hi. I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on making a simple pistol, that would be amazing. Thanks.
Hi, _AlphaReturns_. I don't plan on making any YT tutorials for that, as I don't want my channel to get any violations. Maybe in the future I can upload a similar tutorial directly to my website.
This was really helpful! Thanks! Is there a way to get the annotation (the text itself) to show up during the animation? I would love to have some pop-up notes appear during my animation.
Excellent tutorial!, thanks.
Thanks, Luis!
Awesome tutorial!
Thank you Kevin
Thanks for this series. Helped me improve my Fusion 360 skills.
One question about the animation workspace. Is it possible to animate a rendered version, for a more realistic appearance in the output video?
Hi, Spencer. I'm glad you enjoyed the series and learned a lot - thanks for following along. Unfortunately, you can only render motion links. Fusion 360 does not currently have the ability to combine a render and these full timeline animations. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thank You for the series, Now I will be starting one of your other playlists.
Just something that bugs me a lot about the animation making is that it doesn't allow to move the components based on the joins. It gets so annoying when you want to animate how something works but you can only explode them. I hope soon they add a feature like "motion study" from assemble menu to animation page.
Thank you so much for your hard work and effort to do these videos which are great and very clear. I cann't think of anything you could do "better", it seems to me that the videos are perfect as they are.
I hope you will reach 100'000 plus suscriptions or more in no time.
thank you again.
Thank you! Do you know if it's possible to change the background color?
Hi, Victor. Great question! Unfortunately, at this time only the background can be changed in the Render environment. The animation workspace is still pretty limited, not sure if they have plans to further develop it anytime soon as the priorities seem to be Design and Manufacture workspaces. Cheers, Kevin :)
Product Design Online Thank you very much for your reply! Your channel is very professionally made, I already subscribed, I hope you do well in your life!
@@victorrascon1716 Thanks! I appreciate your support. Best of luck with your projects and don't hesitate to comment if you ever have Fusion 360 questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Really good and informative video. Now I feel the need to go back to some of my designs on thingiverse and make assembly animations.
Thanks, Dsk! You should! The Animation Workspace is often overlooked in Fusion 360... but it can be pretty fun to play around with. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline so I went ahead and made the animations, thanks to your video
ruclips.net/video/C-t9yQ-jqQ0/видео.html
@@Dsk001 Thanks for sharing this! Awesome job! I'm going to share this on Facebook :)
Hey, :) Stunning.
Someday, I too will be able to do (understand) this. :°)
Hey, 4FunRC. The Animation Workspace is not the most intuitive... it certainly takes some "playing around" with to get used to it. If you think you'll utilize it for any product/assembly animations then it's definitely worth the effort.
Thanks for your continued support! Cheers, Kevin :)
Hey Kevin, any thoughts on CNC systems, 3-d printers and combo systems? I'm more of a hobbyist / slightly small business.
Thanks
Hi, Chris. I'll have to make a page on my website with more in-depth recommendations and comparisons. In the meantime, here are some of the top couple of "hobbyists/small business" CNC and 3D Printers that I would recommend.
CNC Machines
-Carbide 3D Shapeoko
-Inventables X-Carve
-Mysweety CNC 3018PRO-M Mini (Budget)
3D Printers
-Ultimaker (if you’re going to run prints everyday/24 hours)
-Prusa i3 mk3
-Creality3D Ender-3 (Budget)
I should note that these are all ones that I own, have owned, or have personally seen in action/recommendations from friends. There are definitely some more out there that could be on this list.
As far as combo ones, I know there are a few out there, but I personally wouldn't recommend that. I've found that they either work well in one realm and not the other. Or, the required setup to switch from one type to the other makes it somewhat impractical to have it for both.
I hope this helps a bit! Cheers, Kevin :)
which software is the best to choose when dealing with advanced animation and rendering (solidworks or Maya or what you prefer ) and thanks alot kevin for this tutorials .
Hi, Ahmed Adel Ali. I actually prefer KeyShot for advanced rendering and animation. It's very pricey though...so my second alternative would be 3Ds Max or Maya. Cheers, Kevin :)
Can u make a video of designing any vehicle like a car, tank etc. if you can.
And also suggest what all should we know in fusion 360 to design the tank u did.
Tell how you did the body and the tires
Hi, vaasanthass k. To design curvature of a car you will want to "master" the surface modeling tools that are all found under the "Surface" tab in the new toolbar UI. These surface tools let you focus on the exterior curvature, without worrying about the thickness until later on.
For something like this take, you can complete it using the Solid modeling tools. It was created using the loft and sweep and extrude commands for almost all of its features. The key is to break it down into achievable sections that you can recreate with simple geometry. Cheers, Kevin :)
Amazing tutorials and a very good lecturer.
Thank you. Really helpfull series.
Just weird that Animation has to be in Recording mode to actually perform the view changes. Also when Exporting.
I'm using Community version 2.0.12888.
Thank you
Thank you, Akash. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. To help me create more Fusion 360 content please subscribe and share my videos with others looking to learn Fusion 360 for free! Cheers, Kevin :)
Hey Kevin, thank you so much for this great series! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot so I can finally leave FreeCAD and use this way better program now! Great to have people like you :)
I have one question: let's say I have modelled a pen and also modelled a text that the pen is supposed to write. I am able to let the pen move along the text but I want to make the text appear piece by piece as the pen moves along. How would I do that or what do I have to search for? I've been searching online but it seems that I am not using the right words...
Thank you!
Hi, MrsGynny. First, thanks for taking the time to follow along with the series! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it and learned a lot.
In regards to the pen animation, I'm afraid that Fusion 360's animation workspace is not the best solution for what you're trying to achieve. Fusion 360's animation workspace is fairly limited. It was built more for the presentation of design ideas...to show how a model works or was built. Therefore, there aren't really any features that let you make additions to the surrounding environment.
You may be better off exporting your Fusion 360 built pen model into another program, such as Blender or 3Ds Max. Those programs will give you a lot more creative freedom to achieve what you're describing above. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking of blender as well as an alternative. Stupid question but what kind of format should I export my objects to make them useable in blender?
@@MrsGynny You'll need to export as an STL from Fusion 360 and then import the STL into Blender. Cheers, Kevin :)
Yay! I’m finally done!!
Congrats, John! :)
@Kevin - Since animation only works with components, not bodies, my question is; If I build a component, can F360 still generate G-code for my CNC milling operations? thanks!!
Hi Getis. Yes, that is correct - components can be used in the Manufacture (CAM) environment. In fact, it's actually best you have components. I would recommend watching my video that covers bodies vs components - ruclips.net/video/TzG2deElWqI/видео.html
It clears up some of the confusion around them :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Much appreciated. Watching it now!
Thanks for the great tutorial:) Is there a way to change background colour to green for further editing in Filmora video editor? I know I could do blue screen as well but I have blue parts in my design and the editor will make them transparent as well.
Hi, Uroš. Unfortunately, there is not a way to easily change the background color within the Animation Workspace (at least at the moment). There is a workaround where you can somewhat achieve this by changing the background color in the Render Workspace and then create a motion study, similar to what's done in this video - ruclips.net/video/GJD2_u0s2z0/видео.html
Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline thanks again for really quick response. In the meantime I discovered a way :) I simply made another object behind my design an painted it in matte green,non reflective surface.Just like in the real world. And it worked ;) Thanks to your tutorials on RUclips I am able to design and present the product for your kind of work. Still work in progress but coming to an end soon.I’ll keep you posted.
@@uroskrompic3767 Great workaround you figured out! Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I'm happy to see you're learning a lot. Keep me posted with how it goes! Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline hi again. I promised to keep you updated......here it is......designed and animated in Fusion 360. Edited in Filmora 9.
ruclips.net/video/hnSj2O_fSqE/видео.html
And YES, I really am a bus driver in real life ;)
the decreasing number of likes in every video of the 30-day series gives an idea of how many peeps made it to the end XD
I want see more video of rendering and simulation
I would love to be able to custom design chess pieces for my son. Would sculpting be the best way to go? Would you show us how?. Thanks for the great lessons.
Hi, Tubeularful. Can you provide some images of what you had in mind? There are a lot of variations of chess pieces. The type of modeling would depend heavily on the type of design. Cheers, Kevin :)
Record a video showing how you have designed this military Tanks in fusion with step by step
I can't seem to download the model, I have logged into Autodesk thinking this would provide the link for download.
thank you ☺️💕
Thanks for watching, Kannan :)
Should the annotation be included in the published animation?
Thanks a lot........
Yay! Completed.
Congrats, Hari! Great job!
