Useful and interesting tutorial. Thank you. I add only a suggestion. You are very fast and using keyboard command without showing what you are doing, make difficult (for people with not so much experience with blender) to track what you are doing. Maybe, adding command information messages can make more boring the tutorial for someone but more useful for a lot of people.

For extra fun, you can set up soft body physics on the lattice.

Thank you. I was googling for a way to deform in Blender because I wasn't able to achieve what I wanted with proportional editing, your video popped up and it's EXACTLY what I needed.

Thanks so much for this. I'm learning Blender, and just when I think I've learned enough and start making something, I get instantly stuck. Then your video comes along and helps me out :D

Things like this are the ones we easily ignore until pointed out. Thanks, Josh!

Josh, Thanks for this best practice. Hopefully you can do an updated version when using a mirror modifier with the lattice.

Thanks a lot man! I'm new to modelling and really needed this!

Thank you. This is what I was looking for. A deform way without creating a mesh chaos

Fantastic video. Thank you I was deforming with proportional editing and loop cuts.

Thank you so much for your Vanilla tips. As a beginner it helps me so much to discover blender. Great Job!

Thank you so much brother, you are helping me a lot to become a 3d modeler🤩

Another cool and non destructive way of deforming, probably more for oganic things, is to make your cube, subdivide it once and then use a subdiv mod on it. You get a cage similar to a lattice, but it deforms the object in a smooth way. You can use creasing to control where you want your edges to be more pinched and/or add additional loops sparsely to get more control. Its pretty common but I thought I'd mention it, because I find it is also one of the crucial deformation techniques to have under ones belt as well instead of going the "naive" or dirty manual way of proportionally editing vertices right from the start. It is especially useful for creating basemeshes for sculpting or even directly create low poly model geometry, without spending hours trying to get a smooth silhouette by hand. Manhandling at some point tends to be always always necssary for me though. That's the other side of the medal :) I like to remind myself to not feel bound to non destructive all the time, out of my experience, this can also get in your way. But I don't go guns blazing into manipulatin individual verts from the get go also and try to stay as loose as possible in the initial bockout and modeling phases. There's no golden way and it depends on a lot factors, like the object your making, the artstyle, the kind of pipeline you have set up etc. Thanks fo reminding me of lattice! It is one of those modifiers I tend to forget exists :P . Really insanely useful for hard surface modeling and something that gives you a lot of control.

This helped a ton on deforming a sphere. And it was so quick and easy to figure out. Thank you.

Cheers man. Got stuck on trying to bend and object in Blender and the Simple deform modifier works in mysterious ways, hard to control and wrap my head around. The Lattice function is much easier to work with for what I'm trying to do =)

The part about cleaning up the geo at the end was helpful. Thanks for sharing :)

Amazing!!! So perfect solution for my project. Thanks!

thank you its helping with my parametric design for cnc stuff.

Lattice is sooo good thank you!

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was searching for a better way to bend object and the I just came to this video. It's so fun bending all my objects to my will XD

Awesome video. ! Question : I see when you are "sizing, moving around" your mesh snaps to the grid. How do you "snap to grid" like that ??

This is really amazing! Thank you so much! Working with materials in the end I really try to keep kinda clean vertecies to avoid having too much trouble with UVs later (we'll see if that still works later on xD)

Definitely going to use the lattice more. Cleaner geometry is nice

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

As usual, great life hacks! Thanks

this video helped me A LOT! TY so much!

That is exactly what i was looking for, thank you a lot

hello thank you for the video, please can you tell me which shortcut will be used for deformation after choosing proportional editing falloff? In the video, it is the circle according to which the network deforms. Thanks a lot)))

Thanks a lot for spotlight on that subject

I didn't know lattice is in Blender. I got used to Live2D and love the fact it's in blender too. Will definitely use it in my future modelling.

Incredible!!! How have you done that last bolean? Is it an add-on? Thanks!

Great tutorial, thanks

thank you so much for sharing ! Helps a lot in the fundamental way, BTW which hot key did you use at 05:42 to dissolve those edges?

hey man great tip for newbies like myself, thank you so much so this is how you sculpt huh? i really got to get into this

thanks mate this helped me alot

you are a life saver thank you !!

The black nodes aren't showing up on my lattice, any suggestions on how to get them to show up? Otherwise great video and very helpful.

Thanks very much saved my life

Absolutely excellent video many thanks.👍🏽🌁

Hi, thx for your great free tuts,...... for blender 3.0 is IT possible to show a Workflow for 3d text defoming, for Animation..is Hard to find a fast worklflow in blender or a good video tuts for b3.0...

Can you use a lattice to manipulate just one part of the object?

Nice! Thanks.

whats the shortcut you're using to boolean at 6:06 or is it another add-ons you're using?

YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFEEEEEEEE THANKS

This would help me to model my concept car, tanx😍

Thank you so much!

I find myself using proportional deform when modeling a character body or hair. I suppose I could have the lattice parallel the orientation when it comes to hair, but my concern is: is this overkill?

does anyone know why my cube scale is deforming immediately when I add the lattice modifier?

Hey man, what was your shortcut to pop the boolen into the scene?

how did you do the thing at 6:04 where it makes a hole inside the cube with another cube?

Spooky, I was just trying to do this in blender. I wonder if google has access to commands you use within blender ? thanks, it works great

I gotta go learn the keybinds and shit cause I have no idea how he did any of what he did, definitely will be helpful once I learn it tho

Please show what keys step by step you are using on the screen am new to Blender.

i wish lattices were as fast as the ffd modifier in max, I mean, they are fast, but the ffd modifier is on another level, any alternatives?

thank you! I give you the most helpful blender chanel 2020!

Hi! thanksfor ur video. how did you cut your object at 6:10? what add-on was that?

thank you so much

Hey how do you have those beveled edges on the default cube? Is it just using the Bevel modifier?

What if there is a part of an object that I want to stay unmodified? I'll just use a vertex group in the lattice modifier?

My lattice doesn't bend the object at the 3:48 marker like yours. Mine keeps the entire side of the original box flat. Is there a vanilla option that isn't ticked or that is changed in Blender 2.93?

perfectly matched my need

Thank you!

I know you probably said this in another video but how do you turn on booleans at 6:00 what button is it

Boom bro. Nice💪

Great weapon model!

when you go to object mode, your model looks like it has small bevel instead of sharp corners. I have seen this many times, but I cant figure out how to do it myself. Is it just some viewport shading trick or is there some bevel modifier applied as last modifier?

Thanks 🤩

Could you say how you are doing things more in the tutorial? like how are you adding more at 2:02 (as in what is the shortcut)?

what is that cutting method you did?

I'm looking for the rigging tutorial for a Electric Locomotive Pantograph, but didn't find the relevant video, can you please make video on "Rigging an Electric Locomotive Pantograph"

How do you vertex slide with the lattice it doesn't do anything.

Thanks for the tutorial, however, always when I create the green Lattice "cage" around the object and then apply the object on the "cage" via the Lattice modifier, the object shrinks, gets smaller and I do not know why.

I would follow what you said at the start about loops but I didnt see where you went to get to loops. As a first time learner of Blender how does this help me?

Don't know if the settings have changed since your video but when you deform the object on one side with the lattice it annoyingly deforms the other side, not like your tutorial? The "manual" says you can apply vertex groups so as not for this to happen but it doesn't work. I tried a mirror but that didn't seem to work. As ever with this software, often the tutorial is not the whole picture.

Oh, that's interesting. So if you scale the lattice, it doesn't affect the geometry it is applied to but if you move the vertices of the lattice, it does. So when you're first sizing your lattice, use scale and don't just move points.

This is still to deform the whole object. When you need to deform the selected element individually, that step is more troublesome. The whole modifier and vertex group need to be optimized. Please refer to Max's modifier

Thank you.

hey man, can you please make a video showing off all your workflow tools and settings and such? like those hard edges on your geometry and box cutter and stuff

Any reason you wouldn't do a subvid modifier before adding the lattice modifier? Nice vid

6:08 how to make this boolean? is it an addon?? which one?

thank you

really helpful video, Thanks....one suggestion as a novice for Blender...please 'TURN ON screencast keys'. So, we can learn which shortcut keys you uses and learn faster. :)

It says failed to set value when i want to add the lattice modifier

thanks

Good video josh

How did u cut out at 6:09?

how come his lattice is green selected after creation, while mine isnt, n also when i deform the lattice it isn't deforming the shape, what do i do ?

You said if you are using blender vanilla when getting the lattice ready but I prefer strawberry 🍓

Nice!

damn... i apparently have alot to learn about blender... i did not even realized you could do any of this with blender

Why not just use subdiv modifier with vertex edit? Create the same mesh with same segments and move vertex point how ya want, or it’s wrong for some reason?

When he started hard surface modeling @ 5:50 My jaw dropped! Good golly, it looks like magic.

Lattice is useful to shape or to correct the overall form of an object; while it is pretty frustrating if you wanna use it for precise shaping.

microsoft: "impossible"

Thanks! Using a lattice is how Cinema 4D works for deforming.

Sir, what did you do on 6:05 ? Is that a plugin or just a shortcut? Great tut by the way.

Ironically, I think this is exactly what I was trying to find a video on earlier today. Can't wait to get home and play around with it.

6:05 what did he do there ive never seen anyone just cut a part out like that, how do i do that??

the wordl needs more Lattice !!! awesome !!! awesoooooome !!!!

Josh, when its modeling, you're the master !! I love you man
