https://www.blendersecrets.org I'm slowly "rebranding" to "3D Secrets" out of respect for the Blender Foundation (not that they asked me to, but I've heard that they prefer other companies not to use "Blender" at least in the beginning of their name, which is totally understandable). So I had some fun making some logo animation for 3D Secrets. I recorded the process, so here's an edited and narrated process video. Not exactly a tutorial, but hopefully interesting. I'm curious to know what you think of this video. It's a slightly new "format" for me.

⇨ Blender Secrets free e-book: https://www.blendersecrets.org I just noticed this mysterious icon in the Tool panel... turns out, it's a whole updated version of Bool Tool + Carver combined. You can just uninstall the Carver add-on now (in case you were using it even) and take advantage of the much easier to use new Bool Tool features, right from the Tool panel. It took me a while to figure out that I had to update the add-on (it kept giving errors at first) but after that it was smooth cutting. ⇨ Full e-book and other courses on my website (cheapest price): https://www.blendersecrets.org ⇨ Full e-book on Gumroad: https://blendersecrets.gumroad.com/l/IxofeY ⇨ Full e-book on Blender Market: https://blendermarket.com/products/blender-secrets ⇨ Full e-book on Flipped Normals: https://flippednormals.com/product/blender-secrets-e-book-26309

⇨ Hard Surface Sculpting course: https://www.blendersecrets.org If you're trying to use Alpha brushes in Blender for sculpting, you may encounter this issue: It's blurry, or it seems you don't have enough resolution even though you've got a lot of subdivisions. In this video we look at a few possible causes. We also explore the best resolution and bit depth for Alphas, in terms of quality and file size.

⇨ Hard Surface sculpting course: https://www.blendersecrets.org Alphas are black and white height maps that can be used as Sculpt brushes in Blender. Normally they need to fit within the circular brush radius. If they have parts that fall outside of this circle, those parts will not be used in the brush. To solve this, go to the texture options of the brush tool panel. Increase the size x and size y values to slightly above 1, for example to 1.1. Now the alpha texture falls within the brush radius. Just don't set the size value too high as that'll shrink the brush. Alternatively, you could set mapping to stencil and then you can use the entire alpha texture as well. But I think that method is more useful for organic models.

⇨ Blender Secrets free sample e-book: https://www.blendersecrets.org In this video we look at the process of setting up PBR textures in Blender, for Cycles and Eevee. We'll also look at how to use Ambient Occlusion textures, as well as how to convert the displacement to real geometry. ⇨ Textures from Polyhaven.com.

In this video, we'll go over how to place your cloth object interactively and how to squeeze the best quality out of a simulation on a low-end computer. We also look at how to add more wrinkles and folds, and what some common pitfalls are with Cloth sims in Blender and how to solve them. For example, why a simulated cloth might bunch up. You can find this topic also in detail in my Blender Secrets book. For my courses, full Blender Secrets book and free PDF: https://www.blendersecrets.org

What if you Alpha Brush is square? And if the resolution is too low? In this video, we'll look at solutions to those common issues when using height maps as sculpting brushes in Blender, specifically with Hard Surface Sculpting.Get my full Hard Surface Sculpting course on www.BlenderSecrets.org.
