u/BlenderSecrets

I made a new video about how to use Exoside's Quad Remesher as well as Kushiro's add-on "Curve Face Colour" for a very easy and reliable boolean to subdivision topology workflow in Blender.

In this video we look at 11 methods for keeping corners of 3d models sharp in Blender, and we briefly go over how Normals work.

Hello dear fellow scifi readers! I'm looking for some recommendations, as the last few books I've read, I did not finish.

To give you some idea of what I really like and am looking for:

I've already read and enjoyed:

• Forge of God (and a lot of other books by Greg Bear)
• Blindsight (and everything else by Peter Watts)
• A world out of time (Larry Niven)
• Actually pretty much everything by Larry Niven
• Rendezvous with Rama (Clarke)
• Childhoods End (Clarke)
• 3 Body Problem (and the other books by Liu Cixin)
• Children of Time & sequels (Adrian Tchaikovsky)
• Bobiverse books (Dennis Taylor)
• Heechee Saga (Frederic Pohl)
• A Deepness in the Sky and A Fire Upon the Deep (Vernor Vinge)
• The Expanse
• Almost everything by Kim Stanley Robinson
• The Disposessed (Ursula Le Guin)
• The Great Ship (Robert Reed)
• The Spin books (Charles Robert Wilson)
• Boat of a Million Years (Poul Anderson)
• Galactic Center (Gregory Benford) (although I couldn't finish part 3)
• Dragon's Egg (Robert L Forward)
• The Killing Star (Charles Pellegrino)

What I didn't enjoy:

• I liked Old Man War and it's first sequel well enough, but the rest was very dull to me. I don't think I'd want to read anything else by that author.
• Tried to read Expeditionary Force as it's always recommended after the Bobiverse, but it's also very dull
• The Uplift Saga (David Brin). I feel like I should really love this, and maybe I'll go back to it later. But I couldn't finish the first book.
• Adrian Tchaikovsky is very hit or miss for me, I didn't really enjoy and DNF most of his books other than the Of Time books.
• Before you recommend the usual: Alastair Reynolds, The Culture books and Hyperion, I keep trying to read and enjoy these books but so far have not succeeded. I think this is just me not being in the right place to enjoy these as everyone seems to absolutely love them, so I'll give them another try some day.

TLDR: Overall, I enjoyed the Expanse, Larry Niven's Known Space books and Vernor Vinge's books the most. Military space sci-fi (like the Old Man War sequels) is not my thing.

Hoping for some recommendations to break this cycle of not finishing books... thanks in advance!

EDIT: Whoa, didn't expect so many recommendations! Thanks so much, I have enough to read for a year, I think!

In this video we look at different methods of making panel cuts as well as for placing details on the surface, in Blender.
