Boolean Holes to Quad Topology | Blender Secrets

In this video we explore an easy workflow for converting geometry resulting from a boolean operation, to all-quad topology that can be used in a subdivision workflow, using minimal manual retopology.

Some people hate retopo, uv, mesh fixing etc .. I love it . I would work full time on fixing meshes n stuff . I like that part the most .

Great! I have your book but I still enjoy watching the quick videos 😊

Oooh. I didn’t know that’s what shape did for the bevel modifier. Thanks!

[Squishrug]

Also you can remove ngons manually using the join button (j) between two points if you want to keep your meshes low poly

I wish I knew why subdivision workflow is the only one you can find tutorials for

Nice: You get rid of artifacts with this method also in case of flat surfaces intersecting curve surfaces? I hope so.

Chief ! i have never used the weld modifier so i'm wondering something !
during the step you create the boundary loop to support the shape before applying subdivision, u may, while creating the bevel, recreate overlaping geometry or have some vertex going beyong already existing geometry, this will require another round of cleaning. So my question is, will the weld modifier be usable here to kinda get rid of this ? anyway, thanks again for the amazing content, even if i'm sad it's gettin shorter and shorter :'(

Hey I’m very new to 3d modeling… where can I learn to use correct topology and understand why it’s important in 3d modeling? Any books or great breakdown videos anyone recommends?

Hi am a beginner, I want to cut a cube from planewhich is rectangular solid...boolean doesn't work...and ctrl + numpad (minus) makes my screen zoom out Idk why thats happening...I tried shift + ctrl+ numpad minus too...please help me out.

[rajendrameena]

instead of bevel, use I for Inset function and press O to outset.

Man, Data Transfer modifier gets no love. 😁

I bought pdf. how Can I download newer version? or should I buy one more time?

[kodiakbluefox]

I miss the music in the background and the subtitles. Why is all of this missing? :)

[rajendrameena]

the alternate way for such things is to use Non-destructive ways using Hops and forget about boolean cleanup.

Never buy addons like that because is not sense, you should be able to do that modelling techniques of yourself

[onjofilms]

Cool, no need to buy stupid addons like MeshMachine now.

First thumbs down. The final topology was horrible.
