How to Create Variable Radius Bevel in Blender

[@ruivoalemao]

The idea of “backup” could be easily solved with a modifier called “edit poly” that we can find in 3Ds Max. Basically it is just an “layer” that you can modify the model in edit mode without needing to apply all the modifiers. Seems nothing, but it is really powerful! It could be an excellent feature to implement in Blender for all those people that loves modeling with modifiers.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

That's definitely one of the possible solutions, I agree.

[@doop00]

I agree I miss that Edit Poly modifier so much switching over to Blender.

[@johannes-vollmer]

What exactly happened when you change a parameter in the modifier stack? Will it reset the manual modifications?

[@1DInciner]

The problem of edit poly modifier is that it requires special mesh representation, basically, separate mesh engine, which is limited, but parametric. That's why there are "editable mesh" and "edit poly" mesh representations in 3dsmax.

[@mattli911]

@@1DInciner Also Edit Poly in Max can be very finicky or risky in some cases. I've had it blow up on me too many times now. If you navigate stack wrong or even re-opening a file sometimes. But I agree, I really would love to see this thing in Blender. But NOT like max , where we have like 5 different mesh types and all different hotkeys / features, which is super annoying. Edit Mesh, Edit Poly, Editable Mesh, Editable Poly, and some other ones.

[@americanlad434]

This video proves the Bevel modifier needs a MASSIVE rework.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Hah, most likely)

[@OGPatriot03]

I'm all for improvements, but it's not that bad. I'm not really sure what this video is doing but I use the modifier all the time with good results. No Ngons, no bad shading, hardened normals etc.

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Yes Ryuurui! You have shown us the way.

[@I_am_Spartacus]

No it hasn't.... you don't even know how to use bevels correctly... every bevel you ever apply is a destructive one. I've never seen you use a vertex groups for bevels or percented bevels.

[@lupat9955]

didnt knew the relax trick! very nice! personnaly, what is mostly missing for me is groups "selections" in the bevel modifier., for exemple, you mod something, but you never really sure of its bevel edges when you start, because, while reevaluate, everything, proportions changes and so edges too, superposing bevel groups mean that eich bevels fits overlapping.. segments and amount, but this way wld be really more convenient for adjusting ..

[@evilotis01]

i know you mentioned it, and i like the idea of working out how to do this w the base software rather than add-ons, but: the answer to this really is MESHmachine

[@GlebAlexandrov]

yes, MeshMachine. I even mentioned it)

[@HAWXLEADER]

What blender is really missing is a circular array without needing to have a second driving object.

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Does radial array in hardops cover that?

[@eeeeeek]

@@Kholaslittlespot1 hardops still use empty.. but it's automated for you

[@knockbox8538]

In Blender 3.3, the "Profile" slider used at 7:10 doesn't seem to work as shown. Anyone know why or have a workaround? I'm assuming it's the slider now called "Shape," which works as described if you run it on say, a single edge of a cube, but not when it has all these intersections. I tried messing with Profile Type as well, no results there either. Any help appreciated!

[@marwinthedja5450]

Thanks A LOT. I'm currently working on recreating one of my models from Fusion360 in Blender and the beveling that I created in Fusion in like 2 seconds was driving me mad for the last 3 days. Maybe I manage to pull it off now.

Hey guys, i know this is an older tutorial, but looks like UI has changed and now percent option is missing is there a way to get it back? i can't get bevel to respect weighting info at all. Thanks in advance!

[@jesussalmeron8940]

Excellent video. Many thanks.

[@Ainkurn]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@tylerdaniels9000]

What hotkeys did you use at 7:49 for dissolving?

[@KiR_3d]

Hi, Gleb! IMO, Blender definitely need an extra "Edit" mode. a CAM/CAD mode where it will represent a model as a set of math formulas with a modelling hierarchy tree. So it will be presented in a dynamic mesh resolution. After you finish, a model can be set freeze = a new mesh that you've wanted. I think that it can be possible for the current core if it supports "dynamic arrays" for meshes. There is a Dynamic Sculpt mode, so I guess it's "yes" :)

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Sounds like science fiction to me, but I like your way of thinking.

[@双雷交火-u8b]

May I ask if you are talking about something similar to this effect?：kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH3Cpn5jYqunrbM

This course must be a killer, and must had taken a lot of effort to make. Glad to see it's been selling fine. Btw, how does bridge edge loops from loop tools differ from the default one?

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Have taken a few months to make, though if we count all the previous experience that crystallized in the course, it's much longer obviously. dating back to 3ds Max era. :)

[@b1moulto]

Gleb, I would love to know how you rendered your wire-frame and dimension call outs in the renders at the beginning and end of this video. I bought your hard modeling course and really enjoy it so far. I come from a NURBS background and thought the pace was great. Good work!

[@sushrithsnayak4223]

Overlays drop down --> Check Wireframe under Geometry

[@amrmohamed2762]

Some setting in bevel doesnt show

[@vaibhavthombre386]

In the final render, is that your custom lighting setup or an HDRI lighting ??? If its an HDRI then can you mention which one it is ??

[@GlebAlexandrov]

the custom lighting setup, basically 2-3 area lights and that's it.

[@vaibhavthombre386]

@@GlebAlexandrov Damn, that's commendable, it looks really good, almost like some HDRI, like it almost has some sort of commercial quality to it. I guess I have to up my lighting game, haha.

In fusion 360, the bevels work ugly, and in general they don’t work at intersections with threads or with an external acute angle, when compared with solid or NX :) although this does not cancel fusion as a great program

Don't compare blender to CAD, cad tools make shit geometry that is hard to shade, subdev and unwrap.

[@phren0]

Because CAD is not "used" to be unwrapped or subdivided, is used for manifacturing and production, is like trying to compare a saw with an hammer. For aestetic enginerring surfaces you should look into CAS, but that's another branch on its own
