How to make a Cuban chain in blender

[@keaackerman]

Great tutorial! For anyone who is watching this in the future, you can use "Edge Split" modifier to clean up the edges so it looks clean cut and doesn't have dark triangle artifacts. Just place it after the boolean modifier. Important note, edge split does not work well if there is a subdivision surface or bevel **after** it, because it does change the topology.

Oh my god this is the absolute most helpful, easy to follow, and quick tutorial i have ever experienced. I have seen dozens of blender tutorials so far, but this one is the first one i understood, and that is despite that fact that it all went so fast

[@FunwithBlender]

Glad it helped!

I made my first chain! Thank you. Now I need to add texture, add diamond cut and a pendant.

[@FunwithBlender]

Wonderful! To engrave text you ca use text and then use a boolean difference as a cutter

This was so helpful😊 Thank you so much❤

[@markgarwe]

I think its better to use an array modifier than duplicating each link piece.

[@FunwithBlender]

agreed

[@apeiron24vfx]

You are one of the best out there. Thanks so much for this. I gotta create my first chain

[@FunwithBlender]

You can do it!

what is five m?

[@luckyshotz5280]

wheres the boolean in modifiers cant find it

[@FunwithBlender]

when you look through your modifier look under generate

does this work in fivem?

wow thank you bro absolute quality content, could you by anychance do a iced out version?

[@FunwithBlender]

Sure thing, if you can send me links of examples could help

[@FunwithBlender]

Awesome once you know how to do this you can get creative and make your own shapes

[@ogdeucemoney]

AT 1:10 you said select the bezel circle but I dont see that option when i hit the drop down

[@FunwithBlender]

I just watched it now, if you followed along and cat find the bezier circle look at your top right in scene collection

[@MB-nh3rg]

You are a life saver bro. We appreciate u also how would I add a good silver/ white gold and gold texture to the Cuban?

[@MB-nh3rg]

I’m trying to make a chain for a character

[@FunwithBlender]

You need to use a glossy shader, put the roughness to 0.15 and you should have silver, add an environmental texture to see the reflections and get the effect when using white as the base color.

[@aiel1740]

Why do you need to Apply? (ctrl+a), sorry if noob question.

[@FunwithBlender]

Great questions, its because you want to apply the new scale, location and rotation so that it uses the correct information over information that has not been reset to 1...i am making a new chain this week and i will cover this in more detail in that video

[@aiel1740]

@@FunwithBlender Understandable. Thanks for clarifying. I will watch your next chain video, please be beginner friendly :)

[@hyprdayszzz7723]

How did you get the silver like that?

[@FunwithBlender]

You need to add a glossy material set to white wit a roughness of 0.15, then add an environmental texture for better reflections.

[@Yek4Sg1]

Ctrl J didn’t work for me to make them 1 any fix?

[@FunwithBlender]

You need to be in object mode and you need to make sure you did not select the chain itself. Alternatively select the two objects, right click and select join

I am on reddit, send a screenshot or screen video and I will see if I can help www.reddit.com/user/CGAfterDark

[@FunwithBlender]

my assumption is that you may have skipped a step and tried to use the modifier on an empty when you may have needed to use it on the mesh, best of luck
