Guys, sorry I forgot to say it in the video, but at 03:50 , you have to remove the creasing by pressing SHIFT + E + Numpad -1. If you want your corners to stay sharp, add a bevel with a shape of 1 !
Man you know you've really learned when you can confidently say "Oh yeaahhh, I've not run across those issues in forever." Great tutorial, woulda been helpful for beginner me a year back!
You’re so knowledgeable of how to correct topology issues most beginners run into. I wish you had a course, as most of the ones I’ve found just seem to portray their way as the correct or best without truly teaching why. I could definitely use something like that. I often wonder if I’m even doing things correctly when I’m following someone else’s advice.
Thank you very much ! I don't have a course yet but i'm planning on making a big one with around 10 or 20 hours of content :) it will take some time to make but i'll notice everyone when it I'll be available 🫡
I need to get better at this! I keep wasting time by manually retopoligising my models - trying to figure out how to approach sub-d modeling with a different mindset maybe. This does help alot though!
I remember starting modeling a few years back, and just doing 3D every once in a while when I'm bored, but I've never cared much to learn about topology. Super overwhelming. But damn this is super informative, I really like the way you present and show how to fix stuff here and there.
damn.. you are probably my favorite blender channel i've found this year. so much insane knowledge, the hardest to find kind of stuff too not just beginner tips. thank you for these vids!
@@ThomasColin3D Hey man can you please tell me a roadmap on how to become a better 3d modeler? cuz right now I'm not that confident about my skills even tho I can model something. Mostly I mess up with topology and stuff so can you suggest me something that might teach me something on a deeper level? Thanks.
i know the first model this was mine but due to having improper geometry , jurjani told me to fix it and this what you showed is what he returned to me , believe me his work was still way better then mine until i re did the model myself and it turned out great
I've just subscribed. Even though I have only been learning blender for just over one year, I plan to watch your tutorials to learn more, even if some of what you do seems difficult for me at the moment.
Been a 3d generalist hobbyist for 20 years. Been taking CG jobs for the last five years. There are those that can model, those that model well, and then there are these guys...I'm honestly super curious--if you looked at, say, a senior modeler at Arcane Studios, would they all know these tricks and techniques? What about a junior level modeler? I'm mainly talking about the topology techniques. It's like an artist who ain't that bad, going on Artstation, and seeing the competition. It can hurt. lol. Anyway. Amazing tips. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment. Yes of course any senior modeler know these techniques. I don't know about juniors, I suppose they don't know everything. Yeah, don't compare your work with other people, try to get better today than you were yesterday. That's all that matter!
Thank you so much for sharing so much value in your content! Sir, there's this humble request I had... Actually I've been trying different matcaps and highlight themes for better selection and modification of geometry in blender, but I couldn't find a suitable one. Yours blue highlight for the selection and the dark themed mattcap looks really great! Can you please share how you made it look like that?
Thank you very much :) i'm going to upload my blender theme and startup file for free on patreon. It will be available for everyone 😋 But if you want to make your own theme, you can open your preferences and change all the colors of the UI
@@ThomasColin3D Looking forward to your Patreon drop! Rest I've been seeing on Aryan's Discord you're awesome! Joining yours soon! Thanks once again for the amazing study material!
I uploaded a tutorial on patreon wich is free to watch for everyone :) you can watch it to see how to change your blender theme and matcaps, you can also download the matcap! Enjoy!
I don't comment on videos but I had to here simple precise tips that I have not seen in other channels keep up the good work thank you for your help :)
Thanks! That's what i'm planning to do! I just need some time to make it. Maybe in 4/5 months. But i'll make a video to talk about it when it will be ready :)
Thank you so much. This video is super helpful. Modeling is nightmare for me because of those topology, N-gons. Can you suggest more something best way to practice/learn
Hey man thank you! There not really a "best" way to learn, the only way is to keep practicing everyday. Pick a random object, set a deadline, and try to model harder models everytime!
Question bête, mais c'est pas mieux d'utiliser le Subdiv modifier sur Simple pour obtenir la même chose qu'en 3:09, mais sans que ça soit destructif ? Au pire jouer un peu sur les options avancées pour préserver les corners ? Après oui dans la grande majorité il faut utiliser les sharp edges de toutes manières.
Great Video! I have one question, how did you align the top loopcut to the bottom vertex at 1:36? Probably a short cut but I don't know how to achieve that🙏
You have to enable the snapping button like I did in the video, and just drag the edge with the Guizmo towards to vertex you want the edge to be aligned with, that's very simple!
I have started to model a car and I almost align 2 perspective but due to complexity it's difficult to continue with it how can I proceed that ( Difficult in the sense it's almost unpredictable how it goes and the thing is other orthographic image is not aligned do you plan about anything like modelling cars and when will you continue bikes modeling I would like to see the final model + texture of your bike which you have done tires model I Would love to know that how did you face those situations Is it normal and how to proceed that usually ha
Hey man! I never model cars so I can't help you. But usually when 2 pictures don't match, I try to eyeball the shapes. I'll finish the motorbike series later!
I am not trying to hate here or anything just curious. Why do we need so much topology on a flat surface shown in first fix? Isn't it better to just wipe those edges inside and leave it as single face reducing topology?
Hey man, no worries I was waiting this kind of questions! It's because the first part is a small detail on a bigger model. It has to have more subdivision to be able to be connected with the other parts. I don't know if that makes sens ? It does in my head 😂. And because it's a subd model, it needs some loops to handle the surface tension!
hey man, another great tips and tricks as always, love it! May I ask how could you change the color of UI theme please? I like this color style, thank you!
Hey man, to change the UI colors you have to go to your preferences > theme. I'll put my blender startup file for free for everyone on my patron page when i'll be back home 😋
Same here, awesome comfy colors and usability, I'd like to try this theme too, but for anyone who want to push it further, I recommend to toggle on "Face oriention" by default and set front faces alpha to 0. Another step is to set bevel outer to arc by default, in that case you should go and find a bind by key combination and change it right there, saves a lot of time
I uploaded a tutorial on patreon wich is free to watch for everyone :) you can watch it to see how to change your blender theme and matcaps, you can also download the matcap! Enjoy!
Is it good to write down the tips and tricks step by step on a paper/word document or do you think thats unnacessary? Thanks for the video btw! That is helping me so much.
I am so sorry, very off topic and probably boring but this question reminded me the story my grandfather told me once. He had to learn ALGOL programming language as a part of his university degree but back then there was only one working computer in the country so nobody but members of The Institute of Computational Mathematics were allowed to get close to it. So he learned it by writing down codes teacher wrote on blackboard. Later, he worked as an engineer in rather prominent national car company in Communist Czechoslovakia so when the party decided it's time to computerized the key industries with newly mass produced middle sized computers, his workplace was among the first. It used Basic already but of course, it was pretty expensive toy so nobody would dare to invite engineers with their dangerously curious minds to play with it. So he had to learn Basic language, again without even touching the machine. Another 30-35 years he worked as the car engine developer only with pencil, drawing board and paper, never touched computer until he bought his own PC in 90s. Not even cared about it until then. Even after approx. 50 years since his forced code learning begun, he was still able to explain core principles of Algol and its main differences from Fortran and wrote down and explain fundamentals of Basic with some codes as an example. So - finally the fairytale wisdom coming - never underestimate the power of simple pencil and paper and ancient art of hand-written notes. If they could make a junior programmer from the person who saw computer, if ever, from the safe distance of long office room divided by few hardened glass windows it can do all kind of miracles.
So, even quad distribution affects UV and stretching? That should be considered even outside of SubD? The LowPoly meshes should have the even topology as well?
@@imlookingforanoriginalnick1208 not at all! I have a lot of self taught friends that don't have a degree / diploma in 3D and they work with clients :)
Hello Thomas, I have an issue with blender, a can’t import gz files in the blender, do u know how to put? I already search and I didn’t have a sucessfull result
I’m getting better. No one wants a topology apology. Understanding how to optimize shapes going to and from problem areas or areas of change is something that’s not the same every time. Seeing you knife and delete edges is the kind of reinforcement I need to watch. Patterns, repetition, results…
Cant tell you how long it takes me to clean extra vertices when im modelling(im a beginner) Even if im following a tutorial they seem to pop out of nowhere when the person doing the tutorial doesnt have that issue
Im confused about something, for games or stuff we generally need less amount of polys. When considering this workflow, a lot of geometry is added ( im a newbie and am really stuck with these basic questions )
Guys, sorry I forgot to say it in the video, but at 03:50 , you have to remove the creasing by pressing SHIFT + E + Numpad -1. If you want your corners to stay sharp, add a bevel with a shape of 1 !

Ctrl + B to bevel, then ctrl + 2 to add a subdivision surface modifier
I never knew darker blue meant extra geo. I just thought blue = good

I’m getting better. No one wants a topology apology. Understanding how to optimize shapes going to and from problem areas or areas of change is something that’s not the same every time. Seeing you knife and delete edges is the kind of reinforcement I need to watch. Patterns, repetition, results…
Cant tell you how long it takes me to clean extra vertices when im modelling(im a beginner)
Even if im following a tutorial they seem to pop out of nowhere when the person doing the tutorial doesnt have that issue
Well it's hard to tell because I don't even know your current level. But in general, if you have some duplicated vertices, press M, merge by distance.
What I have learned with this video: subdivision surface modifier is not a good friend and must be avoided
Of course not!
Im confused about something, for games or stuff we generally need less amount of polys. When considering this workflow, a lot of geometry is added ( im a newbie and am really stuck with these basic questions )
