Blender Secrets - Kitbashing Details

Although you can model every single little detail of your robot model yourself, you can save literally months of time by simply downloading one or more of the many kitbashing details packs that you can find on Artstation, Gumroad and other places. It takes a little practice and the right workflow but once you're in the groove, you're building robots in no time with this method. It's especially useful for things like robot hands and feet.

Also for mirroring object you can use CTRL + M, then click x, y or z

You can also build your own Blender library of objects and therefore create your own "Kitbash" for common components for like projects.

There are a plenty of gorgeous FREE kitbashing sets as well.

i was making stuff with subdivision and modeling it took me 3 days to make just one thing

Thanks a lot. this is a great way to build mechanical models.

I’m stoked to know to open another instance to access a collection of polys I’ve scaled down to make building models faster.

I've never done Kitbashing before... Say, could it be used for something less ordered or organized (like example a pile of junk coming to life?)

Hey Jan, I noticed in the past couple issues of your ebook that this tutorial (in July's edition -Pg 331) is split. The second part follows "Text on a Curve" on page 241

[rosanslomp]

question: how do you get those different colors? Do you just change the material or do you use an addon or something?

Do the kit bashing details stand out when modeling low poly objects?

[Sh-hgkf]

How does one get the idea of WHAT to make with the kitbash props? I find myself struggling to think of what to make and what parts and details to add to it. In this vidoe itself, the robot seems very detailed and complex to come up with.

Is there a specific method to think of ideas and such in regards to kitbashijg?

Whatttt this works? I could never get copypasting to work...must try again

[grem]

Are you able to make a new vid on how to add other blend files?

[dizzyrocket]

I didn't understand the alpha part. Can someone please explain this? Thank you

[blackmentasiwhiteomu]

Dude use like on doom blend the shapes to organic ones. Otherwise this is classic stuff to do

the lack of a library makes blender feel so primitive. having all the objects laid out like that and manually having to find em. the library that they are making now in the alpha version is still really bad. you can only place items randomly where your mouse is. you cant place them on the grid or at 3d cursor or anything. you can't make assets from the viewport you can only make em from the layer view. when you have hundreds of objects in dozens of collections this becomes a freaking nightmare
