Adding holes to curved surfaces is one of the more challenging parts of 3D modeling. And getting the surface around the holes perfect can be really frustrating. That's where the Data Transfer modifier can be a great help. #b3D #blender3D #Blender

Adding details to curved surfaces can be difficult. But the free TexTools add-on makes this process easy with the UV Mesh feature. More tips, e-books, courses: www.3dsecrets.com #b3d #blender #blender3d

One easy way to create holes in 3D models, is by using a black and white texture. This is especially useful for cloth objects. However you can also turn it into geometry with thickness for 3D printing, with just a few modifiers. #Blender #b3d #Blender3D

I'm working on a short E-book that should contain everything I know about making holes in Blender. Like a real braindump about a single topic. Do you have any holes-related questions? I probably have everything covered, but just in case. I'm curious! #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

In this new video, we do a beginner-friendly deep dive into the "double subdivision" method which is a very easy, fast and fun way of making 3D models. This is a longer version of a video I made about a year ago. Watch it here: youtu.be/YCd_tS_3BTU #blender #b3d #blender3d

We all run into it at some point: We are zooming in on a small area of our model, but Blender doesn't want to go any further. Well, fortunately there's 5 easy solutions for this, as shown in this video.
