bro started to write an autobiography

Word on the street...bro already finished writing the autobiography. It's already published. No. 1 best seller.

ok

Watch mx2 (masterxeon) on youtube he is the guy you wanna watch to learn these tools in depth

@@puntloosPD He's the creator, still, I tried to find something on his channel and couldn't really

@@puntloosPD Thanks yep I know the channel, did watch many, could see the potential, but impossible to learn from them imo. I'm missing that initial click that I usually have with most tools I use.

Yeah I would say vanilla blender is like an axe and hops/bcutter is like a chainsaw.

Hey. It's little late I guess. For anyone wondering. As far as I know you can't really save these settings across your projects. What you can do is modify blender startup file. You can do it by opening blender and changing all the settings you want in boxcutter. Then you can press file->defaults->save startup file. Btw don't delete default cube if you think you will need it in the future.

@DurmanHimself Thanks, man!

Never mind figured it out you used T for solidify to adjust thickness right?

there is regular updates. Mine is longer up to date, speaking of... lol

I use 3d Coat and blender. I voxel sculpt in 3d Coat and leave a slight bevel on everything before I decimate. Export to blender and use Quadremesher to retop. 99.9% of everything I retop is perfect. No need for bevels or fixing the mesh. Import back to 3d coat (substance painter too) do automatic uv's and your done. I am going to make a video soon and you will be shocked how fast and easy it is. Does not matter if it is hard surface or organic models, it just works.

@@AlexanderNevermind68 where do you post your videos? 3D coat looks interesting but not much tutorials out there about how to best use it from what I've seen...

@@AlexanderNevermind68 l applink into 3dCoat and UV from Blender, retopo in 3d Coat is very good. really no need for Maya or 3d Max now, but I rather like Maya even though its faster to rig and animate in Blender.

@@sqwert654 Get Quadmesher for blender. It a retop tool from the gods. LOL

@@AlexanderNevermind68 OK I'll look

they actually have a vanilla course for h surf on their site. its pretty fun too. yes the more you know whats going on under the surface the better. then do the adds. their is no such thing as cheating. great artists have always used the best tech and copied each other thats how you get great. once your feeling solid add your distinctiveness to your work as well.

I mean in that case using blender is already cheating, you should make your own modeling tool software to be a rEaL artist! yeah that is just bull shit. :) If someone comes and hammers down nails using a hammer, that is cool but if you have a nail gun and get the job done twice as fast no one is complaining. Just as it is still useful to know how to use a hammer, it can be good to know how to do something in vanilla blender aswell but. Yeah if this is something you want to do and it is going to save you time, grab it and learn it.

HardOps and Boxcutter was born from industry vets/experts who wanted to reduce TTER (time-to-end-result). At the core, these tools reduce the tedious and common tasks one would be doing, which is *efficiency*. As these tools evolved, based on feedback and general experience, common issues with modeling processes and baseline tools were addressed. As icing on the cake, new utilities and timesavers have been (and will continue to be) added. The only types out there that will refer to tools/addons such as these as "cheating", are purists. And that's totally fine- purists in any field tend to be heavily opinionated and set in their ways, typically very hard to get them to see the positives of tools/addons. Everyone has their own flow, and that's awesome. It's when those every and ones want to waste their cycles pushing them on others that... well, it's a waste of their pure time they could be spending modeling or being positive about something. Are these tools/addons necessary to be able to model a hard-surface mesh? No. Are they useful and do they reduce TTER when you get the workflows/shortcuts/etc down? Yes. It's not cheating. It's working smarter, rather than harder. Now imaging that you put as much time into a thing, but whilst working smarter. 1 hour baseline VS 1 hour smarter and more efficient. Odds are the 1 hour baseline "thing" isn't going to be as detailed and cool-as-hell as the other...

@@NathanHarris83 Wholeheartedly agree.

@@TWLpontus Agreed.

You again. Noway🤣🤣🤣

They do talk about that in some of their other videos.
