Blender - Non-Destructive Workflow - Tutorial - 1

Introduction

In this tutorial, I will show you a really great workflow to make assets for Games (Low/High), for Subdivisions, and how to make a High Rez model to use for render or for baking.

The model will be 100% editable, that you will be able to make different versions, Low poly, High poly, Subsurf mesh, or Remesh/Openvdb mesh.

I will also show you how to use the bevel shader.

Like that, you will have a workflow that allows you to do whatever you want ;)

In this tutorial, I use my addon, Speedflow, this addon allows you to work in full screen on Blender and to concentrate on your model instead of the UI.

The addon makes complex actions in one click, this is really fast.

I also added a video to show you how to do the asset without any addons, like that everybody is happy!

Workflow

This tutorial uses Blender modifiers and to make our asset we will use a lot of modifiers.

We will create the base mesh, add a screw modifier, and some bevels on the vertex, and after that, we will add on bool objects to cut our model.

Everything will be editable and you will be able to control every setting.

This is a really powerful workflow!

After making the asset, we will see how to use it to make different versions and how to use the bevel shader, the Remesh to make a High rez mesh, or the addon Openvdb.
