Every time I think Maya has so many options and Blender doesn't, a youtube vid comes by...

Woah, the double X X or Y Y or Z Z to change the move axis when rotate is so cool, never heard of that, thank a lot !

This saved me in the scene I'm working on! For those that use the industrial workflow bear in mind that after doing this you need to set the orientation drop down box to whatever you named it.

Its mind-blowing how so many things are already though of in Blender, thanks for a truly great tip

Sooo many projects I can go back to and continue working on now. Thank you

I knew the local move trick, but using face orientation is going to be a killer time saver. Thanks, Josh!

Super useful tool! This channel is a precious source and videos are amazing.

Thank you!! i have been stuck on trying to get a steering wheel to rotate correctly and your video here worked where countless other tutorials were no help. Again thank you!!

THANK YOU! Watched a lot of your videos for the last couple of days and this one pushed me over the edge to actually subscribe because it literally saved me ..hehe!

After 2 years of using blender, I was really missing this. Thank you

one of the best tutor, please keep making more of these blender tricks

Thank u so much! Please make more videos like this short and very useful

Omg. I am so grateful about this one, never though it would be so easy!

Really handful trick! We can, also, asign as many custom axis we need to shortcuts as well. Rotating while animating can be, at least, a bit easy with this approach.

If I could like your video twice I would. This was driving me insane! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Watched it and loved it man. Subbed the channel. keep such videos coming

Thank you so much! Took me half an hour to find the soolution ive been looking for Very useful

Ive been trying figure this out for months, Thank you

omg, brilliant. thank you. i've been looking for this solution. I also bought some addons thanks to your other video suggestions.

You weren't wrong... Fantastic TIP! Much Love!

Excellent tip! Thank you

Boy I wish I knew this on my recent project! Thankyou Josh this is gonna save me so much time now 😂

Great stuff man! I have been trying forever to find a way to extrude and move on the local axis once the object has been rotated!😀

Awesome! More of these short life saving hidden feature videos please!

And with that you can tell the origin point to orient/align itself based on the transform orientation (object - tranform - align to transform orient, but with origin only being affected). Now you have the correct orientation back as it was before.

Thanks Josh! HUGE time saver!!!

Life saving tip ! Thanks !

Thank you so much Josh!!

also when you create custom orientation you can check "overwrite previous" in the "f9" panel so you will not have bunch of them after a while.

Wow. Thank you. This was kicking my ass tonight!

That is super helpful, thanks. This has always been a problem for me at times. I have been using Blender off and on since before Big Buck Bunny.

Very cool trick. This is why I love your channel and Ryuu's channel too.

Awesome..! Thanks to you Josh, it is going to be so useful.

Ok this is a life saver!! Thx for sharing!

i havent thought this could be a super useful video......thanks a lot for this important tip

i have spent so much time trying to work it out and i was so close most of the time, but not close enough!! Till now, thanks.

Woah, this is life saver! Thanks man 💗

I always wondered what the plus icon do thank you

Great tip. Thanks!

this is amazing, thank you!

Omg…. This tip saved my life…. I’m tearing my hair out trying to find a way to rotate an object that’s tilted sideways. Thank you!

Thank you so much Josh ^^

and here I was, using the 3d cursor projected to a face as my custom orientation instead of just using a face normal. Huge time saver.

Thanks bro your video is very helpful

This is really helpful. Many Thanks.

I owe you a favor, this is haunted me for months have a great day Josh

What a great video!!! You are so right nobody knows this or at least they don't talk about it if they do. Thanks a lot.

Can't believe I never knew about this. Thanks dude!

Good info! Thank you. Will share tweet later

great tip thank you

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge

Love you for this tip

Very helpful trick, thanks!

You're awesome Josh

Thank you for this tip, I know now that I can get the local axes back for flat surface objects. Here is a question for you - what is the most rapid way to snap-move the pivot point of objects to reference vertices/edges/grid points? Can it even be done at all?

Thank you so much dude. this vid literally saved my a**

This is very helpful. Could you make a tutorial about alignment in object mode?

Thanks a lot! Good luck.

Great tip!

You save my life thank you so much

awesome little tip! save me like an hour of work right there :D

Good morning bro! Tankyu nice tuto

Thank you mate!

If only I had seen this video earlier this morning XD better late than never, great video!

Thank you very much, very helpful!

Thank you for this. Wondering if there is a setting or addon to actually see a preview of an orientation plane. Similar to how a CAD tool might show custom planes? Lastly, is it bad practice to rely on custom planes to straighten vertices when hard surface modeling or are there better methods or addons to assist in this? I feel I reach for custom orientations frequently to clean up models. Thanks again

Thank you!

Thanks Josh!!

And two years later, I found myself in this situation, and lo and behold, the only one solving this issue is the bona fide legend himself, Mr. Gambrell. Thank you!

Thanks Saved my day:)

Thanks a lot!

thanks. really useful! 👍❤

Nice tech , thx

another one that just saved the day ;)

Rooooohhhhhh super nice, Thank you !

Freaking brilliant. Thank you!!

This is handy, thank you

Great tip mate, never even knew it.

thank youuuu

Thanks! 😊😊

this is great!

That's why it never worked for me. I always thought my Local cords were broken... Thanks for this it could have saved me, and now will save me tons of time. :)

Thank You.

Bro you saved my ass so hard thank you....

awsome video, i've wondered about this and I'm a new be

thanks, this is helpful.

This is awesome, thx for tip, diserve more subs

Hey Josh that's Amazing tip, thanks! but can you also let us know that what is the hotkey for doing it(custom orientation) as I R&D about it and got to know that Ctrl + Alt + Spacebar is the hotkey(which works fine in blender 2.7), but in version 2.8 and above it's not working, would you please let us know that, whether they changed the hotkey or they removed hotkey from 2.8 and above. 😊Thanks in Advance!

thanks!

I have been wondering how to get that local movement after applying rotation for like a year now. Thank you!!!

the algorithm finally recommends something useful

wow thankyou

Yoooo, this is what i need now on my current project.. thank you! "A New Hope" ... lol..yes that's a star wars ref.XD

This is gold

This way I can use Array in a single line with rotated object, so it won't face to the rotated angle so nice!

Thanks
