[Jop4an]

Close Enough!

[Vidwhizzo]

Awesome tutorial. Tutorials on making specific things are the best because they show real examples of how to use things.

[Dicilion]

could you do a tutorial on how to add design/color to it?

That would be sooo useful :D

[weeliano]

[Dicilion]

@weeliano thanks man, you are awesome!

[weeliano]

@Dicilion Heh heh, you are most welcome my friend! Do subscribe. I'm quite busy lately, but I will try to come out with new videos during the Christmas break.

[Dicilion]

@weeliano Alright! I will sub! You definetly have a talent for making things like this!

[Firetaffer]

This was EXTREMELY useful compared to the other tutorials, straight to the point whilst actually making sense. I enjoy your vids, keep up the good work!

[weeliano]

@Firetaffer Thank you very much for your kind comments!

[azulafan202]

Hey. Awesome tutorial. But, when I do "mirror object, a seam appears where they are connected. How can I avoid/get rid of this?

[weeliano]

@azulafan202 Turn on Do Clipping in the Mirror Modifier, in Edit mode, select all the components, move them along the X axis, (press G followed by X) away and then back from the centre mirror line until the two halves stick together.

[Richard600606]

how do i move the camera view round, i try to right click. but it doesnt work

[weeliano]

@Richard600606 Middle Mouse click and drag to change the view. To change the Camera view for rendering, press this combination Ctrl+Alt+Numpad 0

[GeoJJx]

This is great! The first blender tutorial that I can actually follow! Thanks! Just try to speak louder alittle... But thank you so much for this tutorial. Really appreciate it!

[weeliano]

@GeoJJx I'm pleased to hear that. Do check out my other Blender modeling tutorials. There's an updated version of this video. Keep on Blendering! Cheers!

[GeoJJx]

@weeliano Sounds great! But the part of the video where the Fedora base is expanded, mine keep intercepting each other. Anyway to solve it?

[weeliano]

@GeoJJx Your axis orientation could be different from mine, or your Mirror modifier axis is set wrongly. You may want to see the updated Fedora Hat modeling tutorial. Cheers!

[selearemus]

why is all my hat not solid? i see only the lines

[weeliano]

@selearemus You can press "z" key to toggle between lines and solid mode.

[marioplayer50]

[TheTrueSong]

Your hats so much neater than mine :(

[weeliano]

@TheTrueSong Practice my friend! Don't give up. You'll get there.

[TheTrueSong]

@weeliano Ahaha I actually managed it in the end, thanks a lot for your help!! :D

[MightyMongoosecola]

[odiskamata]

Quality tutorial, well explained and easy to follow, good tutorial for beginers.Well done!

[32shadowarts]

hey this is my first time using blender how do you nove the camera????

I am so lost

[weeliano]

@32shadowarts To change your view by tumbling, middle click hold and drag. To pan, press ALT and Middle Mouse Click and drag. You may want to watch my newer videos. There are short cut hints on the top right of the screen.

[PSPISOGAME]

First time I saw Blender my face was blank because it looked so hard to use but after watching this tut I know how to use :D

Thanks a lot for your help.

[dewque]

WOW! i use this as a guide for shortcuts, and now i know how to make hats!

[weeliano]

@dewque Check out my latest video on how to model the Fedora hat, that newer video has some better tricks to model your hat faster and nicer. Glad you enjoyed my video and thanks for watching!

[Blacklight288]

I love this tutorial! It taught me more in the first 3 minutes than 3 days of the other videos!

[weeliano]

@Blacklight288 Glad you learned from my video, I should have updated this video as there are newer techniques available to make the hat look nicer.

[kptinblk]

how do i make it 3d

[Livefjord]

hi man, i just started to use blender and i want to model thinks for gamedev use, got any good tips for tutorials ? ,i like the music !!, what music is it ? ,kindly // jimmy

[tutorialguy345]

the video keeps on pursing

[weeliano]

Dude! Take it easy, go borrow another computer with proper volume or visit other web tutorials. You CAN learn blender, but do it one step at a time. Be patient and keep at it, you'll be a pro in no time.

[StapledPuppet]

Wow, very helpful indeed. Can skills from one package be universally transferable, because I can't make my mind up on software. Is it alright to use more than one package?

[weeliano]

Think of it this way, the 3D package you are learning are just tools, it's just like using a pen, pencil or graphic marker. It's the person who wields the tools who creates. All 3D packages do the same thing, but Blender is available for free. Knowing more than one package will make you more marketable, learning the first 3D package is hard, but the 2nd or 3rd will be easier because the concepts are the same. It does take some time and lots of practice to acquire proficiency.

[fancyman3553]

is this for roblox?

[weeliano]

It can be for any 3D application you want :). I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with roblox, but I guess you can create simple models for it.

[Ethan5626]

you know its a real hat, right

which means it dosent just have to be for roblox , he couldve just made it to make a fedora
