if you are not using the 3D cursor a lot start learning how to because it is really useful

reccomending to use a plane with a surface deform modifier so you just gotta bend the plane so it's a non destructive operation :3

Do you have a video explaining this process? I’m very interested and your short is very concise

[@Feierabend22]

he just did... pull up a knife with "k", then cut it and move the part in the front upwards and adjust or bevel some edges

[@unknownguy6686]

@@Feierabend22you’re forgetting the whole subdivision modifier applied to the mesh that allows it to be smooth like that. OP wants to know how to do that, not just what’s on the short.

[@Riflyre]

Thank you

[@babelette]

That's so cool. I'm a beginner so this is my first time seeing using 3D crusor like this. Most courses don't focus on this. However, I feel like you could've easily done a loop cut here. Any reason you did a knife cut?

[@thatonegamer9860]

A lot of times with more complicated geometry, like the indented surface of the object in the video, I find that loop cuts are not often perfectly straight because the loop bends to fit the geometry next to it. A knife cut in the Z axis was the easiest way to get a perfectly straight cut in this situation. Hope this helps!

[@AceAnimations]

Very informative 💯

[@omnomgamer8633]

Ok so beginner here. What are you using to smooth the big polygons into nice curves?

[@thatonegamer9860]

The most basic way to do it is shading the object smooth and using the subdivision surface modifier👍

Larrice or simple deform are your friends Also no need to change the 3d cursor just select from active origin

[@jony466]

In some cases you need to change the 3d cursor cuz the origing might not be where you want to

simple deform is garbage

[@MondyTS]

When you select the psrt to bend if you use active origin this will not work

[@AbyssalSoda]

I'd probs just use a lattice or mesh warp, origin I used on occasion when doing quick overhangs. Or realigning stubborn verts.

[@leifdux7277]

my in-built one does it ever since its origin 😊

you could use deform modifier without changing the base shape..

Simple deform, curve modification no. Add more polygon, yes

Can you release a tutorial on how can i shade and give lusture so effectively(texturing as well pls)

[@theGoogol]

Use "A" for constrain cut

[@gegi4577]

good video

[@ghettomining]

could also use a curve modifier with an empty as point of reference.

[@Denomote]

takes more time to setup

[@captainofnumenor8221]

Awesome!!!

[@Darcy_stabler]

I was expecting a curve but that works too, probably better

[@kipchickensout]

i think shift+w also bends, and there might also be a bend modifier

What I liked about 3D Max, is that you didn't have to worry much about that, about origin 3D cursor etc Blender, you needed to worry about that. So. Ey. You have my support.

[@ArijanRace]

Thank you my friend. How does it work in 3ds max?

[@hageby123jean1]

@@ArijanRace Better, and much more simplier when it comes to bending things or moving things. Was weird to go to Blender and not have the same as 3D Max. BUT! In the end, Blender is victorious for being free source and so many add ons and you don't need to pay license. And so much more what Blender can do now, Its Incredible. So I stand with Blender now 👍

[@gamewavelondon]

cool

I'm confused, why the knife tool instead of a loop cut? I'm a beginner so idk if there is anything i'm missing, as i feel a loop cut would be faster/easier to use in that context. Is there something i'm not thinking about?

[@hanwencao1793]

a loop cut in that situation wouldn’t be a perfect circle cut

[@Paul_Ward]

A loop cut would fix points between the two vertices either side of the indices they're being applied to depending on the distance of the indices. So it would be a wonky line. A knife cut will be straight using z, y or x key to bind the cut to that axis.

[@Teh_Random_Canadian]

​@@hanwencao1793However you could loop cut then straighten it with Scale > Y > 0

If anyone want to do this not only with Subd model, you still can use Proportional Editing Tool (righter from magnet icon above) and Lattice. The result will be the same.

It's smooth because of subdivision surface. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's bad.

@@ArijanRace Then you showed what is so obvious. I would show you how to enable subdivs so that it would be so smooth - then ok.

I mean there might be better ways to do this but that depends on your workflow, thats the whole point of blender and 3d modeling in general. You find the way that fits your workflow the best. From what i see the method arijan used works well enough for the purpose he needs it for

[@THETALETSPLAY]

@@comradeboris2335 I mean he didn't show How to do it, he showed what it looks like. It's like calling a video "how to make a ball soft", but in the video itself, squeezing the ball with hands and saying "look, it's soft". Question How is not disclosed.
