Cheers!

[@crystalpills6370]

thanks man

[@Art-of-Akrosh]

You're welcome.

[@snakebiteIL]

Helpful tutorial, but for us that only start you need to show things a tiny bit slower, for example when you created an array and the said let's apply transformation I totally lost ya you did it so fast I didn't had a chance to see what you did..

[@Art-of-Akrosh]

Glad you found it helpful and thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to use a keystroke capture software for future tutorials so that you can see the hotkeys I'm using. Also, if you wanna apply transformation just hit ctrl+A. If you wanna apply a specific modifier. Then hover over the modifier and hit ctrl+A. Hope that clarifies things.

[@IamNeighborlee]

You can also slow it down on the settings is not a perfect solution, but it does make it easier

[@3TQHAJSHNQ]

Why wouldn't you just add depth to the curve and then convert it to geometry when you're done?

[@Art-of-Akrosh]

The method you've outline works for a simple tube. However, if you want to have a more complicated and repetitive pattern while also retaining control over the geometry then the method described in the video is one way to go about it. Hope that helps!

[@NeilMyatt]

thx! great video - kinda annoying that you disabled save in YT though - I keep a saved list of useful Blender tips. By allowing save you increase your audience surely?

[@Art-of-Akrosh]

Thanks I'm glad you found it useful! I wasn't even aware that was an option! Save to playlist/ watch later seems to be working for others. Maybe it's a temporary issue on KZbin's end?

[@mrguog]

how do you delete the caps?? im super new to blender and am making wires for a portal gun model

[@Art-of-Akrosh]

Select the caps > hit 'x' and select delete faces.

[@muhdfazrifaizal3357]

I seem to have a problem applying all transformations. The cylinder array does not merge into a long pipe/wire for some reason. Any solution to this?

[@Art-of-Akrosh]

Make sure to select the merge option in the array modifier and set the distance value to whatever is applicable to your scene. Hope this helps.

[@muhdfazrifaizal3357]

Thank you!

[@nutnichamn7483]

where is the 'Pre Apply Transforms' bottom? i really cant find it

[@Art-of-Akrosh]

If you are referring to "apply transformations" then just hit Ctrl+A and a pie menu should pop up with the option to apply your transformations. Hope that answers your question.

[@nutnichamn7483]

@@Art-of-Akrosh Thank you😌

[@user-fy9ct6he3x]

1:31 How to open this circle menu?

[@Art-of-Akrosh]

First, ensure that you have 3D viewport pie menus active. You can turn this on by opening preferences and enabling the aforementioned add-on. Once enabled you can select object and hit Ctrl+A to bring up that menu.

[@user-fy9ct6he3x]
