Brilliant! This came just as my projects are becoming a bit more complex and featuring repeating elements. I rely too much on duplicating and creating arrays and I knew I needed to change my workflow for some elements, but I was trying to figure out how. Very helpful as always!

Glad it's being helpful. It sounds like you're at exactly the place I was at when I went hunting and found this.

Your comment about getting "...rid of the extra junk you get with an STL..." struck my curiosity. I would be interested in hearing about your workflow for that task. It seems like a pretty daunting task considering the size and complexity of some STL files out there. Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of artists who would prefer you didn't do that, but that won't prevent it from happening. Regardless, I think modifying an STL is one of the best ways to get familiar with Blender and modeling in general. Not too dissimilar to doing maintenance programming with software. Tweaking an existing thing is much, much easier than building the whole thing from scratch.

I've been meaning to do something on modifying STLs in Blender. I did a basic video once that's pretty popular so why not and you have some good questions. There's also some ways of speeding things up a lot.

hey hey. another amazing tutorial as always.. by any chance is there a tutorial of how you made this model, especially the design aspect (rather than modelling)
@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын
This isn't my model, it's from Italian Moose. I just took the STL and converted it (with some cleanup) to be use able in Blender.

Does this also link UV data? So that, for example, I have 1000 separate, but identical objects, and I would like them to share one singular UV island instead of manually overlapping them in the UV editor?
@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын
I'm not actually sure on the UV front. I model mostly for 3D printing so UVs aren't something I really go into. But as its sharing the data I would assume so. Sorry I can't be sure.

When I select the objects I want linked to the source object, after linking they will adopt the rotation of the source object. Is it because of my selection order? I want the unlinked objects to maintain their own rotation so after linking I can continue modelling. Thanks in advance
@ArtisansofVaul8 ай бұрын
Hmm.... Interesting result. I haven't had that happen before but it should be able to be stopped if you apply the rotation beforehand.
@317on1o8 ай бұрын
I found out that it seems to only happen with the mirror modifier. I'll model say a cube, mirror it on x + y, apply the modifier and separate objects. Afterwards if you want to continue modelling and link object data it will adopt the rotation of the source object.@@ArtisansofVaul
