>>63735Max and Maya have global grids; snapping to a global grid isn't something exclusive to CAD packages. It's a common-sense feature. Blender just got functional pixel snapping for UV editing, so why not add that in 3D? Besides, blender also touts itself as a game development toolkit. Any game level designer is going to need a global grid to author precise square nodes, especially for portalflow through doors and such.
You could tell an AutoCAD user who wants to model by 3D sculpting to go use Blender, but don't tell a Blender user who simply wants to quantize measurements to whole numbers to go use AutoCAD.

>>64084originally made this one night so i could build a part list and figure out the lengths of wood and hardware etc, so i could tell my sister what to buy. she ended up using it when instead just hiring someone to build it instead. they were going to charge way more and she showed them it and as a result called them out on like $500 of material
it took like 2 hours so in a way that was worth $250/hr of my time lol

>>64517i cant write in any other position. it isnt comfortable to stand or sit in a chair. the majority of the time involves having eyes shut and thinking, sleeping, using dreams to make decisions

I want to start 3D modeling on a tablet. I'm looking at the samsung tab s8 to replace my aging one.
Is Nomad sculpt viable to make 3D printable models? I really like it's interface so far.

>>64867it works great too. in hindsight i would have made some parts thinner because with the old laptop in it, it weighs a lot and is uncomfortable to move from a lying position, like every time i have to piss i get annoyed. i also had to chisel out little slots for the power cord and headphone jack. very sturdy and comfortable once its in place though. have been watching tons of anime and writing in comfort.

>>64869You could make much of it from aluminium beams, the kind that accepts T-nuts. The plank on which the lappytop rests can just be a metal mesh, allowing for better thermals and cable management.

On a scale between 1-5, how hard is it to learn how to use blender?

>>687013 maybe? Depends on how familiar you are with 3D and graphics stuff in general.
>>68702 is also right. It's kinda like Photoshop, it's so complex and has so many features that it's impossible to fully "learn it." It's a journey, you start by learning and consolidating the basics and then continue learning what you need as you go along. The good news is that there are
a lot of tutorials available for pretty much
anything, both free on YouTube or paid.
No.68752
>>68750I think the problem is confusing learn to use with complete mastery of 100% of the features.
Photoshop generally isn't hard to use at all.
Mastery of all the features is borderline impossible but also for most totally impractical of a goal anyway since the vast majority of the more obscure features are extremely niche.

If any of you wizfrens who are good at modelling & want to make money you should check out s&box (new upcoming game engine from the creators of garrys mod). They pay ppl to make maps & games for it (I earned 45$ so far with mine) & soon they will start accepting community made cosmetics & pay the creators kind of like how CSGO or roblox does it. rlly good chance to get in early & make some money before the game blows up in the future.
