Modeling Buildings in Blender- Lazy Tutorials
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- So! In the new 2.8 update, the defaults are such that if you extrude faces you might get a weird glitch where some faces are transparent (you'll know it when you see it)- it's a super easy fix, though! Open material properties, go to "Settings" and check "Backface Culling"- that'll fix it right up!
Also! To find "CORRECT UVS"- since folks have been having some trouble- you have to make an edge loop first, and an adaptive menu appears in the lower left of the viewport giving you more options. You might have to click on an arrow to expand it.
Honestly I should have done this one a while ago. I've used it literally a hundred times. The best part is, once you have a building, you can use it over and over in different projects.
If you feel like watching the uncut screen capture, it's here. It's also boring: • Modeling Buildings in ...

when I try following this tutorial and start Extruding faces. the side faces show through the front faces giving me a weird clipping effect. PLZ HALP!
Blarghe- yeah! That's a thing that happens as of the newer versions of blender :/ It's an easy fix though- open the material properties, scroll down to settings, and check, "backface culling". I'm not sure why stuff got changed, but yeah, that extra step is a bit annoying :/
You're so helpful! Thank you! Keep making awesome stuff, dude.
I think it's actually "Show backface" being checked (same place in UI, slightly below Backface Culling) causing the drawing error, it was for me at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ took me forever to figure out, was extremely frustrating and a really weird default
@@drunkenmuse AH! I think you're totally right, yeah! I haven't run into the problem nearly as much lately- maybe they've changed the default?? I hope so.
@@IanHubert2 One other thing I've found that worked was switching the blend mode to Opaque and using backface culling. Using just backface culling was still giving me that buggy-see through mess but using opaque blend mode fixed it right up
These videos are changing the community for the better and I love it.
at the beginning I thought this trend was gatekeeping but then thought about it and most of these tutorials require no more than the basic tools offered by most actual beginner tutorials, and these tutorials leave you so much space for creative thinking, ie: Why not use the same technique but with a picture of a calculater?
*charging
@@adham-omran Another one: You can actually mix up this one with the tube and post apocalyptic one to have a high end dystopian building. Seriously, people like him and CGmatter make the kind of tutorials that keep me fueled.
For sure. People only need slow tutorials for a certain number of tutorials. Like maybe 20 tutorials and after that, at some point you have the buttons down, and not you really just want creative new concepts and procedures and tricks that you wouldnt think of on your own. The faster those can be communicated the better.
If you do get stuck on a part, you can always just look up the answer.
@Abdul Mtoro III You are probably pretty new to blender, so this tutorial might not be the best place to start..
I would say that the point of this tutorial is to give you a quick concept of how to do this. You arent supposed to follow along with him. If you are a mid level blender user, you should be able to watch this video all the way through with blender closed, then close the video and open blender and recreate it. If you cant do that yet, then there is thankfully a huge amount of tutorials out there for newer users.
I have a play list with about fifty, and actually I have a private playlist with another 300. Most of them go at a much slower pace which i appreciated at first, but as my experience grows, I dont need to know ever button that is being pressed, I know where the buttons are and i can tweak the values to my liking, so over time a higher percentage of the tutorials are simply wasted time for me.
Its nice to have the fast tutorials that dont hold your hand and just give you the concept, which is all i need.
If you arent there yet, go do 30 slower tutorials and come back here. You will then be very grateful.
Used a photo of my childhood home and rendered my dad walking out just like when I was a kid. Thanks, Ian.
With moths. For realism.
Aww, so sweet
throw in some flying paper and a school of fish and you're good to go. That completes the 'Dad went out to buy milk and never came back' starter pack
add some moth for realism
Add a duck
This man will change the way tutorials are made.
Aomori Teachers even cgmatter got inspired by this guy and made tutorials of similar styles
He already is.
We can only hope
@@Cyanidedan And BlenderBinge, which I highly recommend, also started doing quick tutorials.
@@Cyanidedan Ive seen the cgmatter one, its like "not really" but i understand. he took a relatively small and insignificant topic and made a short video on it unlike this, here its more like a "start to finish" topic in short amount of time.
These are super fun Ian! Don't ever stop.
Oh thanks, man!! I love your channel! :D
cg geek and ian pls be a bit slow and beginner friendly but also make sure the videos are not taking to long because people wouldn't be interested in it and i am basically lazy
HE STOPPED!!
@@kristabzz Wut?! I specifically told him not to... xD
@@CGGeek You shouldn't have said that!
*IanHubert:* _Teaching you in one minute techniques that take other channels 30 minutes to explain_
TAKE THAT BLENDERGURU! Just Kidding lol
Those 30 minute tutorials usually go more in depth and are more beginner friendly.
Blender Guru: how to model a photorealistic building facade (32 minutes, part 1/3)
Just kidding, big love for everyone sharing their knowledge!
@@T33K3SS3LCH3N lol. "And we would use this texture. So let's download it from poliigon".
@@diegojose193 im kidding ofcourse xD
Instructions unclear, taught the moths how to love but I taught them too well. Now they've gone full yandere and are trying to ram their bodies through the building's windows to get to the lamp. It's pure chaos.
We are hitting blender speed levels that shouldn't be possible !
josué raad this is so true.
Explaining faster than eevee can render
legacy of kain forever dude
Is it possible to lear... *-Yes it is.*
I AGREE!!!
Instructions too slow, I ended up freestyling and made the whole New York Skyline
XD
Instructions unclear accidently rendered moths instead
Fortunately you've added some realism to the scene.
Uh guys....I think I've fucked up even more. The moths are now eating down the International Space Station.
How did you get moths? All I got was a glazed donut...
look what we have here, another "funny internet guy"
Well you'll have the realism to your scene 😆
i like how your tutorials are the mid-range.
too quick for beginners, not detailed enough for pros, just the right amount for the ones in the middle who get the terms but can't decide on what's the most effective thing to do a thing.
I don’t even model stuff I just love these tutorials lmao
I don't blame you
Same but be careful. After years of watching, I accidentally tried modelling stuff very recently and now I'm not sure I can stop.
same but cuz i dont have a good computer lol
@@mirotankian8443 you don't need to have
ᅚᅚᅚᅚᅚᅚ how
I ran into a problem when the texture kept on dragging with the vertices even when I had 'Correct UVs' active.
SOLUTION: In the upper right above the Viewport selection(the different balls), open the 'Options' selection and check the box on 'Transform: Correct face Attributes'.
Anyway, awesome videos, I love these! Me and my trainer in Blender have been changing between awe struck and laughing our butts of realizing how overly complicated we have been doing things :D
thankssss
legend
I love these. Shows that Blender isn’t scary and that it can be easy, fun and effective with a bit of work. Keep ‘em coming!
A bit of work, a lot of knowledge.
ive tried it multiple times by myself trying to figure out all the tools and its quite complex as there isnt a simple clicky thing that says whats this? and then you click and you learn. The manual for blender is absolute aids too.
I first learned 3D using Maya in a college course elective. During that I opened blender to check out what it was all about. Quickly shut it down because i thought it was too confusing. Fast forward a few years one donut tutorial later. I can't imagine using anything other than blender. 3ds Max and Maya are extremely confusing and feel very limited in what they can do compared to Blender.
Blender is not that complicated, but basic controls are unintuitive at times, compared to Unity for example
@AngryBoiArtiom You can hover over most things and it'll tell you what it does in a tool-tip. If you're having problems learning, watch some tutorials.
i wouldn't watch a 1 hour long tutorial, but i would watch 1 hour of 1 minutes long tutorials
that's so true. a 1 minute tutorial has to be really good but most 1 hour tutorials suck
I've been doing cg for 15 years now and I hate the fact i don't work as smartly as you do. You sir are a time saving, lateral thinking genius
To be honest, his way of thinking almost always revolves around references and then crude approximations. If you want your building to be top notch quality work you won't do it like this.
@@dvl973 I agree I wouldn't approach it like this for a hero object, but for any background element it's perfect.
@@FrigstadFilm not disputing that I think this is a great way to approach environments. Just where do I get all the free building photos from lol.
S/\LT. google lmao
@@dvl973 9 months late but textures.com has THOUSANDS of free building photos :D
"What if I took all the parts of the tutorial that most people could reasonably be expected to figure out on their own, and just cut them out entirely"
"It's... It's reallly usefull"
Except when you don't know how to use edit mode on a plane when it locks you into object mode.
@@soggybreadman4035 yeah but you could reasonably be expected to figure that out with google
@@soggybreadman4035 So work your way through Blenderguru's Donut tutorials to get a solid foundation. Then come and watch Ian's superquick tuts for your next level training.
and here i am . manually texture painting the entire building . from scratch. i guess high effort is not required some times.
When I moved from 2D to 3D, my perfectionism really made it hard for me to finish basic shit. I'm still learning so much from these videos as they show that working efficient can lead to awesome results. 3D is such a complex field, you gotta optimize stuff like crazy
Depends on what are you doing this for. If it is for a 20 seconds long video in some indie movie - better make it very smart and fast. If it is for a game or for a part of a movie where it is necessary to be detailed - this kind of approach will suck, cuz you will rework it countless and loose much more time.
Yes.
Perfectionism is a hell of a drug....
Yeah there's DEFINITELY times you want to do stuff by hand and really put the time in. Like, this technique is cool, but it cuts a lot of corners, and definitely results in texture stretching that would totally throw off a nice close-up render (that said, you can fix the stretching pretty easily, but that gets into full-on UV unwrapping and stuff).
Why this one tutorial was so adorable?xD
Like aww, rooms. Buildings. Creepily using your friends' apartment photo as a texture for your projects. Aww.
owo
Ü
I always used to think the more I model everything in detail, the better the result would be. Well, you just blew those thoughts away. Anything not supposed to be on focus can be fast-modeled with that way, saving A LOT of time which can be used to perfect points of interest.
Thanks man✌️
Woah i don't know you could use projection mapping like that, thank you man!
I like how he shows a simple scene at first and at the end cuts to a super complex Hollywood level CGI that makes my mind explode with so much information
Now I feel like I wanted longer tutorials from you!
I sorta think it would be cool if he posted 2 versions of his videos. Like, an in depth tutorial, as well as a lazy version.
Totally! But not too in-depth, just the right amount! But hey, he give us this crazy work for free, so let's not ask him too much ^^
The way you show it to us makes this look way easier then it should be
The fact that we can understand these tutorials is because we watched and learned a lot from all the other 30 minute ones. These work like a complement to them, like a quick recap. Great work as always Ian!
Yeah, no. I am a programmer and I love these tutorials. I wouldn't be able to do it just as easily, but this actually shows concepts that I can understand and I just need to google "how to extrude", "how to load image", etc. which is way easier than looking up "how to prototype building fast" :-D
Never touched blender, I'm just here appreciating that you are giving an entire generation light speed. Even helping in the comments. Your impact is immense.
The only youtube series that is straight to the point and doesn’t add a bunch of filler bullshit for view time
I love how he’s always a little sheepish at the end like “it’s a little useful”
I'd love to see this kind of tutorials for EVERYTHING, from blender throught physics all the way to taxidermy. It would so much less overwheling to start working on any hobby that way
men, you are literally the freaking best in regards of tutorials!
yeah, we def are!
@@VallyWake 😂
thanks
the thing that's so good about these tutorials is that they are completely impossible to follow for beginners. the idea that you have to show every step in excruciating detail is good for people learning blender, but not those who are already familiar with blender.
thank you for creating this style of tutorial
The first few seconds: *The lesson in class*
The last few seconds: *The homework*
Between you and CGMatter, I have learned so much in the last 20 minutes.
Random tips:
If you want to keep the face count minimal use a decimate modifier with the setting changed to planar, with the delimit setting set to UV's. That's going to prevent the textures go crazy.
You can also reproject some textures onto other places to get rid of stretched textures in the faces you extruded
These are singlehandedly some of the best tutorials for blender. They work perfectly for someone who understands the program well but wants new ways of doing old tricks.
Thats how we did a large chunk of west London for a project. Its actually easier if you remove the windows and then subdivide them, that way you can duplicate the one you made and the buildings have less polys to strain your Riva TNT 2 Ultra ;o)
Care to elaborate? What do you mean by "remove the windows and subdivide them"? Then what are you duplicating exactly?
I dont even use blender but still am watching your lazy tutorials like they are so fun to watch
Correct UVs !? That's a thing!!!
Yes!
YESSS! I kept doing the thing where I kept adding loops splitting the difference until one was finally close enough for, like, YEARS.
lol my reaction exactly
@@IanHubert2 Thanks for pointing out the UV squares addon in your pipe video. It's helped a lot. I have been using a lot of trim sheets for concept models and I used to painstakingly align loops using the scale tool
@@IanHubert2 i always used knife tools to do that which ended up being more complicated and time consuming. when you showed me correct uvs i was so hyped man, amazing tutorials
@@kev117_ Oh!! Yeah, I sometimes forget knife tool exists, but it can be so useful for some things. Also yes!!! Correct UVs are a lifesaver! I wonder why it's not the default. I suspect there's a reason, but I have no idea.
The "correct UVs" checkbox tip alone is worth watching the video for; I wish I knew about that years ago!
where is that box´x, dont know how to find it
intermediate level of tutorial for those who got headache, dont push yourself
This is EXACTLY how I always WISHED tutorials were done. Not five minute explanations on what is ABOUT to be done.
William Vaughn does this with Modo as well, but not at this level. This is great. Keep it up and thank you!
This is how I've always modeled and textured buildings and it's great!
Less than a minute to explain something. We need more of this in the community.
"Select all the faces you want to stick out and extrude it out!"
I've never ever being so dumb enough to not understand how to make this simple wall buildings ._.
It just seemed so much more complicated in my head. Projection is powerful
@@nethgames3636 it looks too simple for me to understand! Not even myself can make those out of the Texture that is pure from the Picture ( non edited )
"you just have select all the faces you want to be in, and extrude'em in!"
Riley_MDS/DANVXT blender is confusing, so to see such a clear explanation is a little different! I watched this a couple times just to drill it in lol. Good luck!
@@nethgames3636 I already understand immediately after watch it for the third time since I already know much about blender
The speed that these videos come out proves how good they are at saving you time.
I don't deserve any of this! I'm genuenly greatful for this content man... You are an all in one VFX package!
These tutorials are so ridiculously fucking good. They are SUPER informative while somehow being condensed to a minute.
Huge thank you for making these!
*these videoes make me feel like i can design a whole game or short film in a day* ..... untill i open blender and try it out for myself
How you manage to compress these details into a minute is what I don't understand, and the tutorials are so clear and you would easily get the point. Amazing work man... Just simply amazing
At least somewhere I can afford a mortgage.
Thanks Ian!
I love the swinging monorail thing at the end. For a "simple" tutorial you do put a lot of originality into it to prime a viewer's imagination.
These videos are so useful! Props to you for doing great things for the community
THANK YOU for describing this stuff quickly and not assuming i have never touched a computer before.
Awesome as always ! Fast tutorials are a blessing for intermediate users :D
But guys don't lie to me, I know you still have that donut somewhere
As somebody who actually knows what I'm doing with Blender, I really appreciate your speedy and cheap methods to get usable results fast. It's nice that you don't start out with "Now let's download Blender and make a cube", you just jump right into the meat of it. You don't teach how to use Blender, you just teach us fast and easy tricks to get what we want without all the work.
Genius! Don't stop!
Holy fuck i’m gonna make myself an animated movie these tutorials are legendary
Other tutorials: "Lets make something perfectly sinking in dozens of hours into it!"
IanHubert: "Ever heard of the law of diminishing returns? Something is better than nothing but any improvements in quality beyond that get less and less so why spend so much more time on it when you can be lazy and efficient?"
God, I hope other channels start picking up this type of tutorial. I love this style.
Try this: ruclips.net/channel/UC2U5mRfclG1Rrr1ztNkpGKA
I really want to know if all these scenes at the end of your tutorials are part of something longer and where to watch it if so.
Yeah he has an ongoing series called dynamo, I think...
@@emediagroup9812 True, they're on a channel named KarmaPirates
Most of them are from Dynamo Dream
All the filmmaking tricks I had as a kid come in flashbacks watching these vids - seem to lose the creativity as you get older. Love it
"CORRECT UV'S" IS A THING!?!? holy crap i've been subdividing wrong for YEARS!!!
This shorts can tell you how much you can really do in blender, it's crazy.
Ok, I may be high, but did you really create all those sickass outros on your videos?
@@vlc-cosplayer I gotta lay off the drugs
I come here way too often. Not only to follow this masterpiece, but to embrace the simplicity of it.
I know a faster way
1. Apply the building texture to default cube
2. Blur
3. CSI image enhancement.
Finding this video on my subscriptions box is like finding gold
Why is no one taLKinG ABouT How thiS VidEo iS 4:3 asPECT?!!
I will never use Blender, I'm just here for the stunning visuals and your personality, which is also stunning.
MIND BLOWING BROTHER.... its the most simplest way to create something great but we never saw as a blind... Hats off bro. Ian is probably my most favorite person (apart from TON )on this planet.
"This is a cool thing you can do if you're lazy, sure would be cool if you put effort into though!"
I adore this style of quick tutorials because it makes me want to get in and make it better lol.
Never seen tutorials that much simple before
This style of tutorials are a relief compare to the old style of tutorials. Love it
This series is one of the best things on youtube
Ian, thanks for also including the "long and boring" videos cuts of the same.
They help for the detailed follow-along while I'm learning.
And of course, LOVE the short form and great fun videos too! :D
Please don't ever stop that fun!
Bruh you legit taught me how to model things and make'em look nice. Thanks man.
Ahhh! That's awesome!
Man, I so would watch an entire Movie with those scenes you always create at the end... CRAZY!
Thank you for posting this!! I've begun using this grid line method in Sketchup to mock up buildings, and it works really well for cutting transparent bits out of blinds, grills, and other intricate things like that. Saving countless hours with this method. Plus it feels like virtually folding a scenic model, minus all the x-acto knife cuts.
Currently learning 3dsmax, but I'll keep watching these tutorials even if i don't use blender. They're too good
Blender should seriously put these tutorials on their homepage. Fantastic work!
i second that
I've learned more from these videos than any other blender resource
this guy is crazy hhh i love these tutorials, i was looking for them all my life and even then wanted to make this type of tutrials my self, just straight to the point, no more talking.
i watch this lazy tutorials everyday, and they're always so mind blowing... vfx mage
Dude, I love your videos so much. You’re the only person who doesn’t talk for 40 minutes and then at the end I have no idea what they just said. Thanks to you I’m no longer afraid of 3D modeling! Earned yourself a sub.
These are honestly the best tutorials out there.
Your tutorials are never boring, that's for sure. It feels like I'm standing in the middle of a drag race.
Oh my god!! I saw DD's teaser on Twitter and didn't bother looking up what it was actually about until today. I feel like I'm gonna owe you a LOT in the future, if I make things right.
Thanks in advance for your work and for sharing your knowledge, sir.
These are way easier than the 40 minute tutorials online 👍👍👍
I haven't put Blender yet into my laptop so into your videos of learning of you making it so simple. Am just waiting to get an external hard drive for having more memory. You're tutorials shown encourage me to learn how to use Blender! Years ago I gave up out of frustration due to no one to learn it from! PLEASE KEEP MAKING YOUR TUTORIALS WITH YOUR STRAIGHT STEP BY STEP PROCESS.
This channel embodies the phrase "Work smarter not harder".
I've been clueless on where to start when designing buildings for so long. Thanks for making it so easy!
I love how he always makes it a point to stutter a little at the end
I like this, tells me what I need to do while expecting me to understand how to do it. The expectation of basic competence is quite motivating.
Jesus Christ I'm in tears, it's an actual tutorial.
These Lazy Tutorials Series just like saying "here's how u do it dumb-ass"... LOVE IT !!
Mate, for me, you have nailed the video tutorial. The amount of times I have to skip ahead on other tutorials because it is too slow is annoying. Even you quick "Select everything you want extrude, and extrude them".. all I have to do is pause and then google the actual way to do that. You give a good overview of what needs to be done
11 of your tutorials in 11 mins to teach me stuff I hadn't learnt in 11 years.
I had no idea how to start modelling buildings and street scenes, background elements, I thought im gonna make models, uv them out with mark seam, then go into substance... No way, thats bullshit for background assets, trees, and moths:D Thanks to You Ian, I am learning so much. Please don't stop, this community needs more!
This guy is awesome! he achieves realismo by just connecting a image texture to a shader and bang! Realism! Damn.
Keep it up
I just... I'm... I mean... Good Lord these are more useful and to the point than 98% of the tutorials out there!!! WOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!
