How To 3D Model Complex Details (Plasticity Tutorial)

Description :

In this Plasticity tutorial, I’ll show you how to model a complex product design that features intersecting circular forms and challenging surface transitions. This is based on a modeling question from the community — and it’s a great exercise if you want to get better at controlling clean geometry, combining curved shapes, and solving tricky surface connections. This tutorial isn’t beginner-focused — I move fast and assume you know the basics. But if you're ready for a real-world challenge, this will help you sharpen your surface modeling workflow in Plasticity. 00:00 – Intro & Shape Analysis 01:57 – Modeling Main Circular Base & Offsets 05:59 – Connecting Intersecting Shapes with Loft & Patch 12:15 – Imprinting, Refining, and Smoothing Transitions 17:00 – Final Fixes, Lessons Learned & Closing Tips
