Thanks a lot for this tutorial, its really well done
your tutorials are the most
well explained and thanks to you I learn!!
thank god for your wondeful tutorials man… they're straightforward and very accurate.. i use blender and zbrush in my workflow, however, i'd like to add another industry-standard in my database 🙂 keep it up!
I am using 2015 how i select all edge because it isn't working with doulbe click D:
who else has problems extruding the top part…
i cant see the sphere it just the outside lines
On 4:56 when I double click on edges, it only selects one edge. At first try, it selected all edges and I completed the tower. But when I tried to model the tower again, it just does not select all edges. Is there any solution to this problem? I am using Maya 2015.
there is no channel box in my maya 2014
i liked it.(neat explanation of tools)
at 3:47 my scale gizmo appears inside the sphere
thanks for lecture..
Hey! you need to do more! Something inspired me (not you) to create my own model that I imagine (well it in my own story I've made) so keep it up and teach me now!
Question – Why is the inside of my model black? I see yours is not. Did I miss something or do something wrong? How can I fix that? Can you please help me?

yo when i double click a edge it doent select the the loop, only 1 edge at a time. can u help?
why do my shapes get highlighted in yellow/orange/red and not light blue like normal, i also can seem to double click the edge to select all the edges in the loop, when i select and edge it selects all the ones around it aswell and makes them go yellow/orange/red.
Thanks for the tutorial! A quick question, at 4:16 you change to the Drag selection, with Camera Based Paint Selection checkmarked. In my setup I cannot select the faces using the Drag selection unless the Camera Based Paint Selection is toggled off. Is there something else in the setup that might be preventing me from selecting as you have in the video? Thanks!
i made it wrong now i need to restart it because i can't repair it 🙁
my model dont come out in shapes .. its just lines .. can u help me with that .. how am i going to have the faces ??
you are way to fast for a beginner, but thanks anyways for the video ^^
I love your videos please keep it going
and can you tell me why i press the W and then the R ??
Hi…thanks for the great video…one problem though…I do not have a mouse right now for my mac….so when u said at 19:04 to press insert, hold down 'x' and use your middle mouse to click, I ran into some serious problems for the rotation…How can I resolve that for now…thanksssss
thank you sir for your great tutorials also have digital tutors and I always come and do your tutorials also learn a lot!!!!
wow man thanks you i am coming from C4D and i learned all the basic 3d stuff and with this litte knowledge this program is sooo useful i mean the modeling is another universe thank you for explaining it to some little beginner greetings from Germany
If all your videos are this well explained, I am totally subscribing :D. I love how you tell us how to perform even the simplest action (like how to duplicate an object, etc). Many tutorials ignore this and it's very frustrating for beginners. I can't wait to watch your other videos. Thank you VERY much.
when I extrude the upper part of the water tank, my edges aren't sharp, but instead are rounded. I don't know how to make them sharp. I am stuck at 5:50
this really helped i love the way you mention the keys controls all the way through, really helps
can you color it?:3
I may in the future.
Hey thank you so much for this. I do have a request. I kinda suck at unwrapping and lighting. Could you make a video about those two things? 🙂
on your keyboard. You should have a key called insert. I don't know if mac computers have it, but if they don't then just google for the equivalent of the insert key.
in 19:08 when you say press insert where is that?
Great.
solved… easier as check the box "keep faces together" on edit mesh menu, i readed it on your reply to another user, i'll keep the message because if someone's having the same trouble maybe he/she'll read it.
