[@59_chise]

Thank you so much for the lesson. I love detailed lesson.

[@Keith12001]

Thanks for your well paced but detailed tutorials, they are very helpful even if not aiming for low poly game assets

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :)

[@zoey101dogwablog]

i LOVE these videos! They are super informative and the way you edit them to speed them up is nicely done too! good job all around

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :)

[@AirborneGeek]

I love these asset videos. Please keep doing them :)

[@TylerDane]

These videos are very helpful to understand the design principles and logic behind the modeling choices. Thanks Grant!

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :)

[@Mr.Daniel297]

Relaxing AND informative. Nice.

[@Englishbikerdan]

Really cool tutorials, I've been a Maya user for years but looking to get into Blender and 2.8 is such a great release (couldn't get on with the UI previously). Thanks for the excellent tutorials, I'll be up to speed in no time! Subbed.

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :)

[@mehmedcavas3069]

Can u also make a video about low poly animation? To make it simple :)

[@grabbitt]

eventually

[@Zingam]

@@grabbitt Are these models (for Atlas Empires) animated? In many strategy games these objects have some sort of animation?

[@chrisc7265]

If you're searching for auto-mirror like I was, it needs to be clicked on under "Preferences" "Add Ons"

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :) i forgot to mention

[@leviioaks]

if i could like this comment 10 times, i would. thank you

[@Psikais]

Thank you!

[@PsychMandril]

Thank you so much. Ease make a low poly character creation tutorial for these kind of games. From scratch till the end pleasee.

[@tomrose6341]

Thanks so much!

[@AleksandarPopovic]

Very nice tutorial!!!!

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :)

[@salehfathi1844]

ITS NICE ABBITT
keep it on game assist i love that but why didnt just apply the solidfi modefire aand deleting un needed faces you can have batter thickness with that

[@TheAndrejP]

Not sure it'd be any better. Yes, if you need to have a consistent thickness then you're usually better off, but he just closed the tent rather than modeled the whole thing, there would have been a bunch of faces inside, plus he gives it a nice sort of piled up look which you often get with tent doors. Mind you, once he goes into details, cutting the mesh there and moving it around, that's when solidify tends to get you into trouble because small and angled faces can lead to back faces popping through.

[@grabbitt]

exactly

[@gower1973]

Any reason why you left some models flat shaded and others smooth, or just an oversight when you were recording, you could of done the tent poles with an array modifier and empty, I do that all the time to spin duplicates.

[@grabbitt]

i made them all smooth shaded by the end i think. I could have used an array, indeed

[@BF3_Gamer]

Thanks! Like!!

[@MayhemCause]

i really learn a lot from your vids. Thanks!
would it not be better to make the ropes triangular prisms though, since we'll be seeing them at a small scale and on a phone screen anyway? Even in console/PC games like Skyrim a lot of objects like ropes and chains are just 2D planes (though that would look a bit weird in the case of a mobile game if you constantly have to view one rope from an angle and it essentially disappears)

[@grabbitt]

yeah true actually :)

[@Andy_S79]

Will the hand painted couse continue at some point? I mean the Bridge. 😟

[@TheAndrejP]

I'm petty sure he's going to have to paint these :)

[@grabbitt]

yes i have recorded the next section just need to edit

[@Andy_S79]

@@grabbitt thx ♥️❤️♥️

[@Zingam]

@@grabbitt How many episodes are left in the series?

[@grabbitt]

@@Zingam which? The bridge series? Probably about 3

[@jasperzatch610]

Could you tell us what the biggest difference is or the pros and cons of using the scult paint mode instead of Texture painting?

[@grabbitt]

Texture paint works with lowpoly

[@LaszloIvanyi]

I've set myself up for a bigger practice session a few days ago (waaay bigger than I'm capable now :D) so I've missed a few episodes, but I'm back as a relaxation to follow along this one. (and namely because I need to learn more about textures). I've started making the Dreamland Castle from Disenchantment: i.imgur.com/D2htGcx.png
I also doesn't have full numpad, being from a laptop, so for those in the similar situation, "isolation mode" can be achieved my selecting your object, pressing ctrl+I to inverse selection, then H to hide everything else. When finished working Alt+H brings back hidden items.
Done! i.imgur.com/4iHwPjv.png

[@grabbitt]

very nice. YEs good point

[@JBGameplay]

Thats real cute^^

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :)

[@ravanin]

just to make sure I understood: Double tap an axis is for both local rotation, and also doesn't affect linked objects??

[@grabbitt]

yes

[@dontusedontuse8273]

Hallo grant I've been searching the internet a while now to find out how to create low poly characters for mobile I've downloaded a game knighthood on playstore and wonderd if you can make a course on how to model such characters

[@grabbitt]

I might move into that area at some point in the future

[@JacobM.S]

how to make that not smooth cyilinder

[@jayeshsharma8125]

Hey can you drop a series on character modelling and animation or recommend one

[@grabbitt]

i have one for 2.79

getting close :)

[@xexexz6372]

How did you join vertices automatically when you pull them close, may I ask?

[@grabbitt]

merge verts option

[@nwhatchel]

How do you setup your units?

[@grabbitt]

to be honest i did not for this

[@Zingam]

I think you should have started the video with a full view of the concept art image.

[@Zingam]

Are you going to UV unwrap all the models (which I guess are seen in the concept art image) onto a single texture? Unlike the previous model series this tent series appear to consist of mostly unique parts.

[@grabbitt]

yes possibly

[@grabbitt]

yes i have lots to do on the same map i'mm put them into a timelapse later

[@Zingam]

@@grabbitt I guess this model series is some sort of inn and the previous is a gold safe.
When I compare both:
ruclips.net/video/tr1O9C_Qj8s/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/wcal1bcbsXQ/видео.html
In that case if all models need to fit to a single 512x512 texture wouldn't the inn model texture be of much lower resolution compared to the gold safe texture?
I would like to see a reel of ingame screenshots of your models when that's possible. Especially those from the tutorials.

[@syedrizvi6408]

This is embrassing. I am using 2.81
When hit F3, and select quick smoke, it always give me smoke in that DOMAIN.
LATER Sometimes selecting Flow, takes away the smoke. Sometimes, selecting back Domain, resotores smoke.
Sometimes, it makes fire and smoke. sometimes, it does not.
I noticed, when there is small cube at left side corner of the smoke container, it makes smoke. If that small cube attached to the container is missing, it makes no smoke or fire.
Can anybody help please?

[@grabbitt]

not sure about this one sorry

[@Scrubby.55]

how come no one ever shows the coloring?

[@grabbitt]

se my other videos in the hand painted playlist and atlas empires playlist they show the whole process

[@HowToOrbit]

not about this tutorial but I was making ice cream watching a tutorial. and rendered it. but a part of ice cream is not rendered. just bland. rest of it rendered well. I checked camera icon in the scene collection window. It doesn't have a problem. Do you have any idea???

[@grabbitt]

could be clipping distance

[@HowToOrbit]

@@grabbitt I just check clipping distance in the 'View' but no... view port is ok. render is not

[@grabbitt]

@@HowToOrbit then check your cameras clipping distnace
