From the Modeling Basics class, the exercise “Modeling a Sci-Fi Crate”. This took me five attempts before I was able to build it properly and fix all of the different problems I kept running into. I don’t even know how many hours it took to get through this 20 minute video successfully.

Ah, I see what I was missing now. I was confused about how you were getting the four quadrants to move independently, and it’s because you had the cursor snapped to the selected quadrant prior to turning on clipping. This was not the default behavior or placement of the cursor.

@jgonzalez Thanks for getting back to me. I meant performance in regards to creating models for games. Things like, what types of mistakes do people make when they start out, “cheap” options for creating great meshes that don’t kill performance, tips on creating meshes that look high poly but maybe aren’t because of ways to optimize….things like that.

I’d really like to see a course focused on performance considerations in 3d modeling. I’m a beginner, but I don’t want to learn bad habits early. I’d like to know how I SHOULD be building objects in Blender for best performance, etc. I realize this could be a broad topic and somewhat specific, but I haven’t found good resources anywhere so far that cover this.

Also, I’m interested in Substance topics and I’ve seen you cover them a little. Makes sense that we’d go to the publisher for all of their good resources, but I would love to see a Blender-Substance workflow course that also incorporates performance considerations. 

Thanks!
