@@ArtisansofVaul No problem. Getting answers is great too. I've added you to my list of channels to recommend when people ask about 3d printing or geonodes. There are darn few blender-for-3D channels out there, and it's great to find someone I didn't know of before showcasing the artistic side of blender for printing. (The other great channel is Maker Tales, but he tends to focus on functional FDM printing rather than artistic resin.)

Thanks to Hardops I actually haven't had much of an issue with it though as everscroll makes it a really smooth/nice process and the cutters of cutters are easy to find. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNVmeLuq3JuqnWg.html

Great trick. Ive been using emacro while holding ctrl shift on faces after making loop cuts. Not sure that will still work on more complex objects such as this though so i will give this a try.
@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын
That works but it can cause some results that aren't going to be smooth on the sides of the objects if they are a more complex shape because of the normal direction. This can be solved by using a cutter/boolean on the sides or merging some geometry but I find that takes longer.

@Robert-ln1cx Жыл бұрын
Great as always! This technique is working on a complex curve in the x-axis direction, with you having a straight edge on the back section and a preformed cutter on the front section to produce nice clean edges for you when you add these as cutters to your overall trim cutter. Can this technique work if you have a complex shape across all 3 axis? say, in you example, you didn't have the cutter for the front of the jet bike to incorporate into your trim cutter - how would you solve that to get nice even trim? - thanks!
@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын
I've used it in pretty complex situations with curves on most plains. The biggest issue is if you have something like a "wave" shape but you can still do it. In that instance it's just the point you scale the shape needs to be considered a bit more and I instead went into the object and moved the faces in relation to the normals using alt+e. But it's complex shapes like this that it really shines as a technique.

Ex-Maya user here with a question about the cutters in Blender. If i'm looking to export them as assets for game dev/moving to other pipelines for rendering, do I need to apply these booleans and then touch up the polys? Or is there a way to export everything with a super high sub div so as to keep all the cutter deformation, etc? Love the vids btw~
@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын
So this can cause issues for hame assets as it produces Ngons so it isn't ideal for that purpose. I'm not sure but quad remesher might have a good go at cleaning it up but I haven't tried it.

It's honestly the least demanding I have found for achieving really decent/complicated trim. By clean mesh it depends what you mean. It won't be quads bit it will be perfectly 3d printable in my experience (and I've used it a lot)

@ArtisansofVaul 8 ай бұрын
Hi Daniele. Interestingly I just had a comment from someone the other day saying a tutorial was too slow.... I think the message here is that no tutorial will ever be "right" for everyone. This is a relatively advanced tutorial and covering every aspect slowly would not have been appropriate for the majority of people wanting to watch this. Perhaps I should state the "level"/"audience" each video is aimed for but that seems quite arbitrary as what someone thinks of "intermediate" could be wildly different. Where there any particular aspects you got stuck on?
