Just when I was looking for a way to make cables !! Dope

[@fathomlessforge8700]

Fantastic. As a beginner, it's great to see you go through the whole process and treat it like a personal or professional project.

Literally just learned about using curves to make tubes last week, but I didn’t think to extrude a single vertex and then convert it. That’s much easier than what I was doing! Thanks for the tip!

[@polygonrunway]

Glad to help! :)

[@bogdantrach]

Do you ever work with a reference when modeling, and if yes, how do you keep yourself from going too much into small details.

[@polygonrunway]

Yes I do and most of the time I put a time limit on my work, so I dont have extra time to get into details and have to be consitent :)

hey I really like ur tutorials but like do you mind doing tutorials where u basically get to explain everything in details :) that would be cool

[@Matthew.S_3]

Recently the verts don't work. Idk why. When I add one it sends me to edit mode like normal, but when I press E to add more, it doesn't make more points. It will act like there is one there until I unselect it.

[@loopylittle88]

@14.35 when i add the screw modifier, the single verts fill and make a solid spiral instead of one that looks like a cable, its just a solid disc, any ideas what's wrong here?

[@elithyajira]

did you happen to extrude the single vert on the x axis instead of simply moving it to the side with g? Just extrude up after moving on x axis, not to the side. Maybe this helps

why cant i use the simplify curve on thee grease pencil

[@polygonrunway]

you need to convert the pencil to curve fist (object -> convert to ...)

[@manel6666]

i dont knowwhat is happening but i have a problem when i create the grease pencil blank then i go to draw mode and i cannot draw anything cause an error appears no hay photograma disponible para crear una trazo (english translation: there is no photogram available to create a trace) and i cant draw those cables

[@polygonrunway]

In the viewport, press I (:ai) to insert a keyframe to draw into. This changed recently

[@manel6666]

@@polygonrunway thanks for your answer but i found another solution when you enter draw mode in the upper left tehre is a button that says draw then you cliik and appears to creat new gp and you can draw normal as you did in your video

[@abdulscrib4552]

cant bevel the vertices, any help?

[@mansikkapersikka1260]

How can I bevel a vertex in Blender? To bevel a single vertex select the vertex in edit mode and activate the bevel tool with "ctrl+b". Then while the tool is active, hit "v" to restrict the beveling to vertices only.

In the newer Blender version, you need to insert keyframe in draw mode first (press I in the viewport)

you have to turn the "auto keying" button on, that will be located on the timeline bar at the bottom of your screen, you see the a little white dot on the left next to all the play heads, when its showing blue, its on and you should be able to draw,
