When doing the bevel on a curve, you can just increase the curve segments in the panel on the right. It makes it smoother.

I literally learned more about blender and 3d modeling from this one video than I have from watching tens of hours of tutorials. You showed off multiple ways of how to CORRECTLY model in such a short time. So many quick easy tips to absolutely launch someone's skill into a higher level in minutes. Bravo sir, bravo. 👏

nice tutorial

[@boom_fish_blocky]

I frequently use the 4:09 pipe creation method because of the easy control it provides over the direction and location of the pipe's tip. I mainly employ it for creating car exhaust pipes. 🚙🚔

[@bodstor]

I really adore industrial decor and this is just right, thank you and good luck with your channel promotion!

[@itspaultodd]

Thanks! Glad I could help

[@boom_fish_blocky]

Thanks for the collection of straw/pipe creation methods.

Very useful tuto bro.Thanks a lot

[@Nicollaos]

Спасибо! Очень нужны такие подробные туториалы! Thank you! Such detailed tutorials are much needed!

[@enestekin2512]

Thank you buddy that’s exactly what I need

[@PatriceFERLET]

6:00 you have the resolution of the curve to change on top of the properties panel. Don't need to convert to mesh to change the resolution.

[@itspaultodd]

Thanks! Great option to keep it as a curve and look clean!

Thank you.

Excelente. gracias.

[@ereviewsyt]

Might be a stupid question - is there a way to measure the length of the wire created, including the bends? 😯

[@kevinflanigan8653]

Great tutorial! I'm having trouble sizing the tops of the rivets. When I press S and move the mouse, all the rivet tops move inward or outward from center of the cylinder which deforms the rivets without sizing the tops of the rivets. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanx

[@itspaultodd]

Change the pivot point at the top (next to the magnet looking thing) from median point to individual points and it should work fine. Glad you liked the tutorial!

Question: how does crease actually function? I generally use bevel weight with a modifier to crisp edges, but that of course creates bevels if you apply the mods. Does the crease keep a sharp edge with no downsides?

[@itspaultodd]

Yeah you can set an edge to a crease limit of anywhere between 0-1, 1 of course being fully sharp. It comes in very useful when modeling, your basically just instructing blender what you want sharp and by how much. Works nicely with other modifiers like subdivision too, it's worth playing around with :D
