Thanks! Means a lot!!

@@skilllanoodle wheres the tutorial mate??????

@@makeitlastmedia which tutorial?

Made this video a while ago, so I don't know if I would call it a tutorial either lol, but definitely a lot to take away from. Thanks!

Trust me I feel you, this one took a while but I learned a lot. I have a newer spaceship tutorial if you want to give it a look!

That's awesome to hear! Just have fun and make the Blender World your own world 👍👍👍

@@skilllanoodle Wow, thanks :D

I felt that I didn't fully achieve what I wanted with this piece, so I actually have a new tutorial with a much improved spaceship coming very soon (:

Blender can be extremely difficult at first and I am certainly no stranger to that lol... but trust me I know just by this comment that you can do it. I remember opening up Blender, trying to do even the most simple things and failing horribly, and then closing it not to go back and try again for months. Eventually, however, I got my first render out, and something in my perspective changed. Blender is a tool you can do so many things with, that even after almost 5 years of using this software I find entirely new things every single day that blow me away. That gray window you open up to is a window to infinite worlds, all you have to do is take one step forward and eventually the next step will reveal itself. Good luck on your Blender journey, and I'm excited to see your future renders! *Here's that first piece I rendered 5 years ago:* facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1002503446499990&set=pb.100002210339192.-2207520000.&type=3

@@skilllanoodle Thank you for the words of inspiration! You keep being awesome 😎

@@flumyxx Same to you!

the modern donut tutorial is actually pretty bad now. it kind of throws you to the wolves. try the 2.8 donut tutorial. Or just ... something else.

I've actually been trying to find new techniques for that job exactly, excited to present it in the near future (;

@@skilllanoodle I’ll be sure to stick around then >:D Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

@@galacticnipple2586 Of course thanks for the support!

Never be afraid to ask! Always reading the comments to help out whoever needs it! Plus if I miss it, someone else will sure to be there to help. Keep up the Blendering!

@@skilllanoodle also as much as I loved your tutorial, I feel like off to the side you could add the key bindings to everything you do, learning the bindings helps save loads of time. But that’s just me. Keep up the great vids man

Over time I've developed a few methods, and it really depends. I use hard surface sculpting on high poly meshes that are curvier, I use the edge split, sharpen and bevel trick for quick panel lines, sometimes I separate faces on the mesh and solidify/bevel, and If I'm feeling lazy I just paint them on the normals in substance painter. Hope this helps!

Thank you. I’ve been looking for a tutorial on the last technique with Substance Painter. If you can send me any links, I’d be grateful. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

kzfaq.info/sun/PLB0wXHrWAmCwnqWfKdGEmbtSKN2EzvLrY This is a great tutorial series I used to learn some of the really key basics!@@allengawlik94

it's just a texture! I find it's really about blending the actual modeled pieces with the texture map to achieve a good result.

@@skilllanoodle Cool stuff, looking forward for more :)

@@jager54 Thanks! Excited to be creating stuff people can learn from and enjoy!

I'd be more than happy to! You can reach me at seankillion@sprucemedia.tv so we can discuss it more.

landing, at a wild guess.

So this is an older tutorial, more recently I've refined my process here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sM-karie38m3l4k.html Most of the time I try to separate shapes into simple forms so that I have something low poly. I try to get performace as High as possible so that I can use the model in any context (games, vfx, concept art, you name it)

I was thinking of uploading a longer tutorial where I create something live. Wanted to do this first as there was a lot I learned and that video would've just been me struggling for 7 hours lol...

It's an unreleased piece of music actually from a friend, hopefully a full version will be out soon!

@saturndazed on instagram is the artist

if the computer could understand your intent without your input, there'd be no need for human artists anymore.

@@tsm688 Without artists there is no intent. It's just a tool. Don't be another sophist spewing Luddite.

@@HalkerVeil You understand my point entirely, then.

@@tsm688 I do. And your point applies to cameras more than AI. ISO setting, F stop setting, and click a button. That's all the input it takes. With modern phones there is even less input. An AI on the other hand requires nearly a paragraph of input, and hundreds of iterations to get what you are looking for. Not unlike a photographer who takes dozens of images to find the perfect one. I think you see my point about it being a tool. The camera is worse than AI for taking the 'art' out of it. They sure cried about art being dead back then when the camera was new. They cried about Disney using rotoscoping as well. Then the digital "artists" came around with their undo and layers. "There's no undo in real life..." they would cry. Luddites. All of them. We have finally found a tool that will expose the infestation of Luddites in our current society. Because they tend to fall for socialism. And those people don't belong in our society.

@@HalkerVeil Many great masters used the Camera Lucida. Some paintings, we can trace the exact location they sat while painting. Fear and rejection of new technology is not my objection. I mean the giant leap you're expecting the computer to make in re-topologizing it. You can't just handwave it with "AI" when you have no idea **HOW** you expect an AI to do it. (We still don't have true AI. What you see is partly tricks, and partly brute-force. There's probably a better algorithmic way to solve it anyway.)

Can I ask why? I'm always interested to know how I can improve!

@@skilllanoodle Sure! It's cool to see a content creator worry about his content. First, you say you teach a comprehensive way to make spaceships, but you are really showing the way you make an asset that tries to resemble one, you do not show any solid design principles, you simply deploy an arsenal of tools to try to shape a "spaceship" however I do not see a clear direction in the asset you are trying to make. Second: Clearly the result is not an asset that resembles the initial reference you proposed at the beginning of the video, clearly you expose a concern about why nobody shows how to make something with that quality and shape, and what you propose in the video does not come to resemble anything in it. In my opinion your video is just another extension of how some blender tools work in a way but it doesn't show a clear direction to develop a spaceship of good visual quality. Of course it's not a hate comment, I saw the video and you show very useful things about blender as a tool, the problem is that you didn't link that functionality with what you propose to create which is in this case a spaceship.

I'm sorry to hear that. This is a much older video and I feel reflects my old way of doing things. I actually created a newer spaceship tutorial I think you would like a lot better!
