An Emphasis on Modeling Quickly
Added 2024-12-30 10:01:31 +0000 UTCKind of an all-over-the-place modeling video, but I try to cover some efficiency tips (probably especially useful for beginners, though I like a lot of the techniques at the end), and we make a storefront!
Also here's the refraction tut I mentioned:

Just going to echo everyone else here and say these videos are always so helpful. I'm so bad at modeling and always learn big things in these videos.

2025-05-25 21:07:42 +0000 UTCI just joined the Patreon and watched this video last night - AMAZING!! I learned more in this than I have in the past month in my various courses/tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your processes!

2025-05-06 11:44:48 +0000 UTCman, these videos are some of your best imo, just seeing your process modelling stuff always teaches me so much. This and your digital extension video are some of my personal favorites

2025-04-12 06:00:20 +0000 UTCHow? I went to preferences and selected it for Cycles, but it does not give me the option for Eevee π«€

2025-02-04 16:23:00 +0000 UTCHave you configured your new RTX for blender?
Jason Dillard
2025-02-04 13:53:13 +0000 UTCDoes Eevee take advantage of an RTX card?
William Cousert
2025-02-04 09:56:51 +0000 UTCHi Ian, a quick beginner question. I upgraded to an RTX 3060 but my render times are the same - in Eevee, nontheless. What could be happening? π¬
Alejandro Rios
2025-02-04 03:06:24 +0000 UTCHi Ian, your videos are really gold, I started with Blender a year ago and following your tuts I feel like I'm going forward with giant steps. I have one question: in which occasions do you use Eevee ? Because in some of your older videos like the video screens you use that engine. Do you often start doing things in eevee and for the renders use cycles ? Thanks a lot !!!!!

2025-01-10 01:46:36 +0000 UTCHey Ian. On the iphone, go into settings>camera> lens correction and turn it off. Then rejoice. (rejoicing may be optional, but that's what I did.)

2025-01-03 02:17:05 +0000 UTCLove your modelling videos! It's so freeing to see you model a store front like that without ever even bothering to measure anything. I'm always obsessing about weird details ("Is this door tall enough?" etc) but your approach is so much better - model the thing and then just scale it until it looks right. Several amazing tips in here for details in Blender that I missed - there is a select by texture??? Also need to explore limited dissolve, how did I never use that, OMG.

2025-01-02 19:05:19 +0000 UTCHey Ian, as a former brit I think it takes next level enthusiasm and curiosity to find inspiration in Watford High Street LOLz. Thanks for another corker!

2024-12-31 21:54:41 +0000 UTCAH! I'm so glad!
Ian Hubert
2024-12-31 21:54:26 +0000 UTCOh! We were basically neighbors! I've been working some at the Warner Bros Leavesden lot! I'll be back there for a while in a few days, actually (been in Kings Langley quite a bit). I don't know what my schedule will be like (probably crazy!) but we should meet up!
Ian Hubert
2024-12-31 21:54:08 +0000 UTCFind these kinds of videos really helpful because the first time (many years ago that I subscribed to your Patreon) I found it impossible to recreate what you were doing even though I understood the basics of blender. Still struggling with modeling but after this video I have hope :)
Mark Pratt
2024-12-31 15:08:04 +0000 UTCHaha so cool you've been living in Watford. I'm from Hemel Hempstead originally which is just down the road. Why have you been there? What I miss?
Phil South
2024-12-31 09:51:28 +0000 UTCA nice comfy heavy hitter to close out 2024! Truly our 2020s Bob Ross of VFX/3D! Happy little tris!

2024-12-31 04:35:24 +0000 UTCholy moly yes please. I use iPhone and have had weird problems with the perspective thing! If you can help with correcting that, that'd be amazing! Been following you for years (about 5 I think?) ... no idea how,, which is.. PLEEASE! also great tut, as always. love you Ian.

Kelly Nugent
2024-12-31 02:04:50 +0000 UTCAH! I missed that thanks! I was even thinking "man I wish this was a preset!"
Ian Hubert
2024-12-30 23:54:57 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Ian!! I have kind of been away from Blender for a while and struggled to get inspired again and here you drop the perfect video for this!

2024-12-30 23:44:58 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas Ian, even though it's a bit too late now <3
OwlWithA1ds
2024-12-30 23:31:10 +0000 UTC11:10 tip for the ultra lazy: blender has custom trim (and other) presets for custom bevel profiles if you just click on that "Preset" dropdown!
Daniel Skomorovsky
2024-12-30 22:32:58 +0000 UTCThanks for this post Ian! I really appreciate the refresher on modelling and seeing some hints at other approaches less dependent on image textures/more procedural. It's super useful to have both of those in the toolbox. Always happy to see the same tools applied to different situations as well. Even if the variation is minor.
Stephan
2024-12-30 21:34:19 +0000 UTCAs a Brit, it's fun to see you have enthusiasm for our store fronts when they only bring me depression and misery. Another fascinating video anyway! Hope BLADDY OL' INGLAND treated you well.
Dave Brain
2024-12-30 21:29:12 +0000 UTCHey, Ian, loved the video. I also have a new tip for you! There is an easier way to offset edges. Just do Ctrl + E, and the first option, "Offset Edges", will give you three different ways to perfectly offset any edge you want. Have fun!
Kryat Lore
2024-12-30 15:35:47 +0000 UTCBit annoyed you were in Watford (I sometimes work at Leavesden (Warner Brothers), and I did not know I would have loved to have met up with you and shared the craziness that is my life; in reality, I would have scanned you and put you in my film, as evil Ian. Thank you for this. I learnt loads,
Richard Cave
2024-12-30 12:29:33 +0000 UTCDisagree on the "what can we learn from this image" not being fun for others - would totally watch and learn a huge amount from you doing that. Fun. Guaranteed. Thank you for all the awesome tuts Ian, always look forward to your videos. Hope you have a great time over the holidays!
Volen CK
2024-12-30 12:28:00 +0000 UTCLove these kind of videos. Hope you enjoy your NYE, any goals/milestones you have for next year? I'm hoping to finish my Halo shortfilm trailer next year! And switch from Flame to Nuke at home.
