@@Imphenzia Ah thank you very much for replying this! Your tutorial have converted me from 3dsmax user to Blender user in transition. Keep on "E and S" - ing dude 😁

@@Imphenzia Where to find Loop Tools?

@@falconjblack2008 its addon

Edit -> Preferences -> Add Ons -> Mesh: Loop-Tools

Good to know, I might actually be able to learn basics of blender in under 25 hours.

I will probably understand blender for 1 year

well damn, really?

Ikr? He's great at explaining things!

I hope you progress more

Hey, that's great to hear! At this point, I want to share as much as I can and grow my channel so I'm happy to do all of this for public viewing :)

Without a doubt, this concisely condenses a TON of useful information. It will probably take me five or six viewing to absorb it all. I was tempted to skip the early information, since I've been using Blender off and on for years, but there were options I never knew existed even for the basics.

It's not greed that makes people put content behind paywalls. It's their need to get something out of it. If you want to live off of something you have get paid in some way. People just try different ways to get paid. Some are a little obtrusive, some aren't.

agree , respect. He chose love for his art instead of money and care for the community! Ty bro

@@Imphenzia your simply amazing!! kai

same

ayyyyy dude ive watched youre vids on how to animate on krita!

I second this!

Im not know ANYTHING in blender but i knowing when i watching this

His tutorials are great. Blender is an intimidating machine if you're new to 3D modeling. I've managed to put out some videos with my own low-polies as cars and trucks ukposts.info/have/v-deo/bZpjhKSjkKd_s30.html here. I am glad I've come across his channel. 💪

Hopefully it can help more people to find it in the future.

@@Imphenzia you are best teacher for blender

Grant Abbott's also good

Abbitt. Spell checkers great

it really is

I've been surfing Blender vid's just to assess if I want to go down the rabbit hole. The power of this tool is incredible. With power comes great complexity. Viewing comments it's become apparent to me that if I go "there" the only way I'll be succesful is to be all in. All in or nothing. I'm impressed, this is one hell of a video.I'm learning FreeCad and looking at Blender for additional finishing tools. Just blown away with how much there is too learn...

@@TheJacklwilliams it's not that much to learn. the fundamentals are really simple, but you need some guidance to get to speed. after you grasp the fundamentals of low-level 3d geometry (and topology) in general, everything else lies in the domain of being versed with the blender's interface and understand its tools at your disposal. as with any program, you then practice until you begin to develop a muscle memory for a couple of common mental techniques that you typically end up repeating over and over. I'm a power user of illustrator, photoshop and indesign, and even a couple of music production programs (aka daws), for example, and it's the exact same process everywhere. it's like having a multitool with too many buttons and indicators, but what matters in the end is the internal logic of the product itself. when I said low-level 3d geometry, what Imphenzia does in blender is a notch up from the lowest of levels. namely, blender lets you work with true polygons which is very convenient and speeds up the process, but it helps to remember that rendering always boils down to pure triangles regardless of their intermediate representation. there are many other high-level representations as well, usually for high-poly modelling, but that only complicates the learning process. another tip would be to learn about shading itself. how shading actually works, what are normals, and it's also very useful to consider the manifold property. for example, how many faces can be connected to an edge. a general rule, and important one to remember is 2, which is also known as manifold-2, but different software will allow different things, to the detriment of a student. Imphenzia also explained here that vertex overlap is a bad thing, but what he didn't cover (to make it simpler) is that if you export a flat shaded low-poly model into Unity, you'll get vertex overlaps all over the place, and that suddenly is not a bad thing anymore. there is one example where he shows a bad example of face filling at 54:41, and while this example is truly a bad thing, the actual shading is not always a bad omen and is in fact known as smooth shading, which is usually desirable in non-faceted models, which is something that you get when vertices are shared between triangles. to get smooth and flat shading in blender, you see, you have to deliberately change some settings, but under the hood, the actual difference is in the amount of normals which are stored along with the vertices. a shared vertex can only have one, you see, and it can be configured to represent an average surface orientation, but a flat one is actually multiple vertices, each with its normal, split among the joint faces. the setting he showed once or twice, called "Recalculate outside normals" (or something similar) is a function that uses an algorithm to determine the best possible outcome for the normal orientation at each vertex. Unity for example also does this (on demand), but if there were no vertex overlaps on a model, the rock would appear completely smooth, like a weird soap. this means that a flat-shaded rock has to have 3 times as many vertices, because each triangle needs to have its set of normals, bloating the model in memory, and making it more expensive to process. and now we can talk about quads, which are double triangles that usually lie on a single plane, thus 2 of their vertices are shared internally. at 1:13:16 you can observe this more clearly, if you pay attention to the bottom right corner where it says verts: 16, edges: 28, faces: 14, tris: 28. these faces are in fact quads, and you can count them up manually and there are indeed 14 of them. however there are twice as many triangles effectively, even though you don't see them. blender in this case truly stores just 16 vertices, but if you export this to Unity there will be exactly 56 (4x14) vertices, in order to maintain the amount of normals required for this kind of a model. btw, quads (as well as any other polygon) can look broken, if you move one of their vertices off the plane. blender will not attempt to make a distinctive edge to maintain the faceted look, and this is what Imphenzia was solving via 'triangulation' before. triangulation is a process of delimiting an edge-bound surface into as little as possible individual triangles. now why this matters is because if you know that the triangles are inevitable, you might want to have a quad that breaks along a different diagonal, and I think this is called 'rotate edge' in blender, a tip Imphenzia forgot to showcase. here's an example of this as well as smooth shading ukposts.info/have/v-deo/p2ZjqX9knoeDl4U.html ok, hopefully that helps you understand all of this a bit more.

@@milanstevic8424 Yeah I agree I was having trouble but this guy is perfect! And I was following this dude kind of hard to follow when you don't really know blender: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/q5GppKCsm4yQmWw.html

@@JA_RON that's true. Imphenzia is by far the friendliest Blender guy on youtube right now! probably because he highlights exactly what is truly important -- the fundamentals of low poly geometry. everything else will come to you naturally as you walk up the ladder and adopt a mental model of what to expect and where. if you end up following up the 'wrong' teachers, types of which are likely to come from different venues like cinema or high poly art, the odds are they themselves are still figuring out the ropes and new advanced techniques, because the medium they use actually changes over time. why I'm calling them 'wrong' is because they will teach you how to use the fire, but not how to make it. what hasn't changed for a very long time is exactly what the topology is, how light is calculated, and these really core concepts, how to manipulate the structure in 3D and why do things disappear or you can't select them, you know, the logic behind pragmatisms. if you know this, and master only this, you can very easily extrapolate other knowledge and SEEK OUT very specific use cases for your work, by knowing what to expect from such software in 202x. in turn, you become a very fast learner in this domain, with a potential to even exceed other professionals who are perhaps afraid of going deep enough. I know that's too much to ask for some, but the best way to learn about 3D graphics is to arrive there from an angle of a programmer actually. and what do you know, Imphenzia is exactly that type of an artist, and this is probably how he thought about this for a long time, and why his lectures are good. mastering anything comes from a point of good understanding, and not just from having a lot of practice. on its own, practice makes fast; not perfect.

fucking brilliant ty

Helllll yea

thanks it helped

Tysm!

Just hit play and then noticed the "table of contents" in description. I will probably follow your lead.

Combine this video with '100 Blender tips' and '150 blender tips' by Daniel Krafft Really helpful

good luck :)

it's the same shortcut for AMD overlay thingy. And like 1 1/2 years ago you were not able to delete/rebind it. If you rebound it, the old one still worked. I've had to dig into it's registry entries to disable it, horrible. Now it seems they finally fixed that lul, i switched to Nvidia meanwhile anyway :D

first thing i rebinded when i built my new pc lol

I just immediately uninstalled it .-.

And after that, most of your learning will be through your own trial and error. When you model things without tutorials, you learn to problem solve on your own.

@@kleeb5742 sadly no. I dont have the time right now as I live in India and parents aren't exactly supportive here nor do you have much time on your hands. Hopefully when I get into college I will be able to practice blender and get better at it once more.
