One of the most common tools used in 3D modeling is the subdivide tool, which is used to create more geometry across the entire object without disrupting either the topology or the shape of the object. But can you do the reverse in Blender and unsubdivide your model. The unsubdivide tool can be accessed from … Read more
When designing your models for 3D printing, you are required to follow stricter guidelines for modeling than what you normally would for a render or an animation. There are principles of modeling 3D objects that ensure the hardware you use is capable of creating the specific shape that you design. An overhang face is a … Read more
In addition to modeling for animations and video games, you can also design a model to be 3D printed as a real-world object. But are you able to complete the entire virtual stage of the process using Blender alone, or do you require other platforms and applications for the actual printing? While Blender can be … Read more
One of the fastest-growing industry subsets today is the field of 3D printing, the ability to design an object virtually and then construct that object as a single piece using specialized tools and software. Blender is capable of creating 3D printable objects and then sending them to an application used for the 3D printing process. … Read more
You ever heard of the term normals in the 3D modeling space? It’s a term used to describe the direction your geometry is facing. If it’s facing the right way then you have nothing to worry about. But what if it was facing the wrong way? And how would you even be able to tell … Read more
