Use CAD software, it's the only 3D software build for realism.

Ok nvm I used booleans to make the junctions.

But when I subdivide it with support loops I have terrible creases on the T junctions

Use a bevel tool on those edges where the pipes intersect

I think the important thing to remember is that in real life you can't bend a pipe at a 90 degree angle so perfectly that the atoms on the inside angle collapse in on themselves making the inside bend un-noticeable.
There's always going to be a curved section on the inside corners that you can use when modelling to not have fucked up geo. This dude is right, >>953669 in that putting bevels there will be a good idea.

He's making pipes, not a fucking car engine.

op there are different way to get 90 degree pipes/ elbows the one in ur picture is the ugliest one, mostly made from plastic... they are also not great irl as the turn is too sharp and it erodes pretty fast... but if ur ok with it then thats fine, but i would prefer this kind of pipe, the amount of tris is the same.

you are wasting your time, model something challenging like the donut tutorial

Thanks for your input guys. Now I'm trying to combine these two spheres with a circular extrusion at the top. How can I do it without making it look like this with booleans?
I want the side of the sphere to also have the circular extrusion with 32 vertices.

If I use a union boolean and then scale the unwanted vertices down and then apply the boolean,
I end up with this topology. Is there a way to do it better?

I'm trying to fix the topology now how do I get rid of this pole

so you're incredibly unfunny, then. either way go back to lurking.

Done! How do I fix the pole here that's causing shading issues?

This is how I do it.

And it renders like this.

how did you do it senpai please show me did you remesh it

Go to the secret remesh panel in Blender. Not the modifier everybody uses. That'a trap.
The voxel remesh will also fuse together objects made of separate meshes.

you just go to McMaster and download the CAD.

non-boolean
>add quad sphere with plug-in, i use machin3tools for this I think. it's free. or use a subdivided sphere for the same effect
>select and inset square-ish groups of faces, delete
>use loop tools to circularize the hole, obviously clean up and use support loops
>extrude circles
you can do this in all 6 directions with the quad sphere if you want
or just boolean the same tube through the sphere twice, it's really the redundant sphere that's causing the issue
>>953732
having your hand held through a tutorial is not a challenge. most beginners should learn basic shapes and poly modeling principles, with a "learn by doing" approach. that's how you develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, which are essential to making what you actually want to make. when I first learned 3D in 2013 the first thing they taught us was a fucking pencil. then we did a coffee cup.
it's an excellent starting point actually.
