The RIGHT way to cut holes in surfaces in Blender

It seems their are too many steps vs booleons.

almost what im looking for superb .. just one thing i need three (circles) spread evenly around (120 deg) and they need to be a specific size how do i measure them for diameter ?

Here's a like. Very helpful video!

not very good tutorial

Josh, dude, you're my 3d-superhero!
Three weeks ago I started learning Blender from absolute zero and now I have managed in making basic things! Thank you, man!!!

damn it works very well
thanks

hey nice video :)

gracias,sos un genio

Please my boolean modifier is not working it said is disabled can you help me enable it please

Hey thanks Josh, I know this video is old but... wow talk about life changer only quesiton I have is i ended up with an Ngon but it had no effect on the mesh why is that?

3 years ago and what an amazsing tutorial, is there a new method though?

what freaking imbecile made this stupid program??? OMG!! like, how the FUUUUK did you "pull the circle out????" Out of where?? im clicking on the same area as you and NOTHING IS PULLING OUT!! I HATE THIS PROGRAM!

For F... sake. I was doing it wrong all the time. That is so much better. Thanks Josh! Liked and subbed.

Is there a strategy for making sure all the points in a face stay coplanar with each other? I feel like that's always been my greatest struggle when trying to do more complex shapes. It seems like that's not the case for either method here, but I'm not sure if you're doing something special when you grab vertices to constrain their movement.

Thx bro, you save me lots of time.

Hi i need a little bit of help, When i went to delete the faces in the cylinder after i did the circle no longer stayed shrinkrapped to the cylinder. I couldent find a solution so could anyone tell me what i did wrong?

You got my like. I've being doing this wrong for a while already

is there no way to do subtractive join on the objects?

can u make a vid on blender 3.5

Me, simply subdividing and using the loop tool for a circle, and then using that to make an extruding cyclinder/circle

Thank you very much!

I struggle with the lock of the circle and shrink-wrap on an axis... does it have to be on an axis and I have to move my model? I tried it with another axis but it didnt work

I'm starting a personal playlist for blender workflows, and this is the first video I'm putting in it. Thanks.

would you recommend boxcutter?

It’s so difficult to simply do this! I don’t think I’Il ever be using blender

This 3 year old video just taught me like 70 different things about blender I should’ve known for years!

How did you rotate it 90 degrees in 1 hit so quickly at 32 degrees? I can't work out how you did it so quickly. Edit Mode>type R>...but how did you make it 90 degrees in 1 hit? You didn't seem to type 90C into the Transform box...you seemed to have done it with your mouse only, what's the trick? It seems liked one swipe.

Wow, that’s easier than I thought.

Great tutorial! Much appreciated

Fun tip with the bad round edge, instead of insetting you can actually press shift e to do an edge crease

Loop Tools is your friend.

zamn 😍

'I came looking for copper and found gold' Thank you.

Pressing F repeatedly to fill in extra bits is the thing that makes this feel so easy, thanks for the tip

AWESOME

Noob here. Very well explained. is there a way to wrap circles around the cylinder and offset them?

Pretty 🙏🙏🙏 tq

You can't just cut a hole in the curved surfaces.

I can see this method would be excellent to make eyelids for characters and creatures as well.

"Join these edges together with the j key..."
Jeeeez, the time I could havve saved knowing you can do that :D

the hole in the second cylinder doesnt go all the way into the cylinder. Its not a hole?

Thanks Josh. That helps a lot

Loop tools is a great way

Feel like you made this way harder than it should be
