Me with no computer, let alone Blender: "Mmm yes, noted"
Good to see this technique is still relevant. I was doing this in 3DS Max back in '97 and still use it to this day. Great tip 👍
Watching these clips makes me want to isolate myself in Blender for hours on end
I knew a short tempered Blender creator, that goes crazy when anyone uses the screw modifier, Steven Something, on YouTube.
That's actually such a neat feature! Blender is seriously one of the best open source pieces of software probably ever
A better and easier-to-edit way to achieve this is to use a Curve object instead of vertices. Curve objects allow you to create a cylindrical object in this way, using the curve as a Taper in the object’s settings.
*sighs*, another blender short in my playlist
This is one way to do it But spawning a cylinder + using loop cuts + adding subdivision surface modifier when it’s all done Is way simpler and looks better. Better topology, too.
Yeah but it gives really weird topology especially at the point where it loops back around, and then you gotta do a bunch of stuff with merge by distance etc and it’s just usually not worth it and easier to use the circle extruding method
If I can find something like this to make character modeling easier that'd save my life
blender short came up... went to channel to subscribe... turns out I already am.
Use a curve first then convert to mesh, give easier result Also for round areas extrud to the extremes of the curve and then bevel for roundness
Using the spin tool is much simpler. It is in the tool bar or it's in the menu, mesh>extrude>spin when in edit mode. Use the modifier approach if you want your workflow to be nondestructive.
Insane how you can do anything, in many ways. Only imagination holds you
Where was that tutorial when I needed it, nice tip btw
Very nice
This was a technique used back in the 90’s too, very useful
bro i actually understand these videos on a technical level now 🤯 like i understood the concepts but never actually used blender until recently.. now i understand
Thx this actually helps I be a struggle with modeling
