Blender 2.76b doesn't have the knife midpoints option. The 2 it does offer are greyed out. Did search for KNIFE and also MIDPOINTS but found nothing under PREFERENCES. Adjusted Verts manually.
You are damn AWASOME ! Thank You great work .
Great tutorial, i learn a lot
subdivide makes lots of polygons though
m'blender
Very nice!
I'm using Blender 2.76b. I follow your tutorial up to the point of bisecting the 8-sided cylinder. At that point, my view has no interior wedges and when I delete, it removes not only the left faces but also the top and bottom face. Is there a missing step or setting that has changed with this later version?
so what's the main difference between using a knife tool and and cutting an edge loop?
dude why i don't have strings on the top from side to the middle??????
This is one of the best presented tutorials on Blender that I've seen. You explain it clearly and slowly. I love the large green mouse/keystrokes display. I will be watching your other videos as well. I wish others who make Blender tutorials were as clear to understand for we new people. 😉
Great! Exactly what I needed!
But one thing. You have to change the cylider top in newer versions of blender like the one I'm using.
i only have mouse with a left and right button and mouse wheel
how do I look around?
Are you Singaporean? You have "The Accent" :3
How do I import this into tf2
nice hat !
Thanks! it worked i am going to import it into tf2!
lol its allright all i just remade it
Go to your C:tmp folder, you should be able to find the last auto saved version of your work.
fuck all i did was change my vertices to 34 and blender closed
Thumbs up if most of you are here because of tf2
When you create the cylinder, make sure the "Cap Fill Type" is Triangle Fan (in "Add Cylinder" menu)
Hmmm I am unable to reproduce the checkboxes you mentioned, could you describe exactly what you did? Around which point of the video did you get stuck, and can you tell me what are the keys you pressed.
I am actually using the newest version.
Hi MsJalvlie, are you using the latest version of Blender? Due to the ever changing and upgrades of Blender, sometimes the tools function may change a bit. Try downloading version 2.68a and try again. The latest Knife tools are very powerful. Select your mesh object, Press Tab key to go to edit mode, press K and click on the edges to start cutting. When you press K to activate knife tool, the options will be displayed at the tools menu below.
I can't do knife cut midpoint, cause when I press K and finish the cut, I get the Knife Topology tool which gives me two greyed out checkboxes called Occlude Geometry and Only selected. So I have no idea what to do here…
Your tutorials are so helpful, thanks for putting them out. 🙂
Watch and observe carefully the 2 green boxes on the top right of the screen and take note of the keystrokes and mouse clicks.
when I make the cylinder, and I do tab and z and a, it doesn't come up with the faces or the top and bottom, so when I select it, and I delete faces, nothing happens. (im new with blender so telling me would really help me out
It really depends, for closeups of your game characters in cut scenes, you want a higher subdivision count, however during game play, you may want to create several versions, from high to low. High when the object is near the camera and low when it is far away. Some game engines support dynamic Level Of Detail (LOD) changes based on distance from the camera (gamer's point of view)
But to use it in a game I'd have to apply all the modifiers and that would mean a really high polygon count, right? Or is the result a normal number of polygons for game objects?
Oh no, you can definitely use it for games, just that you need to control the amount of subdivision levels. You don't want the hat to have too many polygons until it is too heavy for the game engine to handle, at the same time you don't want it to be too low to look like graphics from the 1st gen Sega Virtua Fighter era.
I love how detailed your explanations are, very good. But I have a question: by the end you mention how it can't be used for a game because of all the modifiers. The mirror can be solved by applying it, and it sounds like you were going to give a solution for the other modifiers. If I tried to put this in a game what would happen?
You are most welcome, do check out my Homburg Hat tutorial, it is the latest version of my Hat tutorial series.
Man, I am so glad I found your channel. Your tutorials are really very good, your explanations are very clear. I learn a lot from you!
Thanks a lot.

I see, you have an extra edge loop sitting on top of each other on the base. Switch to edge selection mode "Ctrl + Tab" and select edge, then ALT+ Right Click to select the edge loop. Press X and select delete Edge Loop.
I don't think that's answering my question, Here is my problem in picture form: i.imgur DOT com/0tbcW.jpg where the rim and the top meet, it doesn't curve into each other as yours did when you did the subdivision modifier. It just stays flat.
Go to 26:40 of the video
Did you say to add the solidify modifier in this video? if so could you specify the time?
Did you apply the Solidfy Modifier and adjust the thickness value? You might want to check out my Homburg Hat tutorial on my channel. Cheers!
The bottom of my hat didn't curve into the rim of the hat, it's all just flat. How can I make it curve into each other?
This is pretty helpful. Thanks
I have a idea 😀
