How To Make Barbed Wire with Modifiers in Blender

[@JoeyCarlino]

Check out the new barbed wire video using geometry nodes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXrZdaOIbbGErq8

[@trapbot420]

Thank you, version 3.0.1 can't do it. I will try to implement it in your new tutorial

[@JoeyCarlino]

It works in 3.0, but some of the nodes have different names. 3.1 is officially released now too.

[@trapbot420]

@@JoeyCarlino is cool，I have done it in version 3.0.1

[@mkheisenberg]

theres a surprising amount of techniques you learn from something so simple looking. thanks very much for taking the time to put this together!

[@TheLostGamer9070]

I came to the comments to say the same thing, this showed me more basic skills then the "how to start blender" tutorials

[@mastermaj]

Bro the info on how to change the metrics to fit real world proportions is a gem

[@PINKAS1]

Once again I am amazed with what you can do with just some basic shapes and a bunch of modifiers, damn dude nice work

[@redintheclouds]

Woah, you like my profile pic? 🙈

[@foureljordi1590]

Okay man, i was having a bad day today but this tutorial lit turn it around, thanks for all the good tips. Great content, super easy to follow, 10/10.

[@HrlDesigns]

MAAAN! This is such a complicated video and techniques (at least for me) explained in such an easy way I was almost able to do them by just listening, not like other videos where i have to pause go to blender and comeback. Such a great video! Keep doing them

[@alices.8356]

It's such a brilliant tutorial! You have no idea how helpful it is, that's exactly what I was looking for and the fact that it's procedural too.. thank you so much!

[@RobertMarzullo]

Fantastic tutorial! I was able to work along really well. I only messed up a couple of times. lol I even turned the 3D render into a Clip Studio Paint brush. Worked perfectly! Thanks for sharing the content!

[@chachabuu6548]

easy to follow didn't know it's 12 minutes long I really enjoy watching your tutorials

[@SkylarCampbellArt]

I learned a lot from this, thank you!

[@daschtheducc]

dude thank you so much, even though I had to watch it over like 4 times, because I realized I needed the curve to fit the wire and barb around and on the curve, it’s still an insanely helpful tutorial. thanks!!

[@kevinsundelin8639]

Thank you so much for this! I needed it for one of my projects and it was very helpful, I ended up learning about techniques I weren't familiar with, so thanks again for this amazing tutorial!

[@AG41303D]

Solid tutorials. The common mistakes bit is a nice touch that should inspire a lot of tutorial makers. You just won a new sub. Thanks for your work.

Amazing tutorial. Very detailed and really good modeling and modifier tips. Thanks a lot

[@grahamehadden4320]

Amazing well done video. one of the best tutorials I have come across in ages.

[@friskychips9580]

Hi! This was an amazing tutorial and i followed everything and it went perfect. Though i have a slight issue. So when i finished making the barbed wire i started wrapping it around the object i made the wire for, though then i realized that the wire might be too thin for the object i was making so i scaled it and made it bigger, but now there is an extra part of the wire that isnt connected to the nurbs path and the reason for it is because i scaled it, but im not sure how to fix it without remaking the whole wire and wrapping it around the object again cause it took quite a bit of time. I know this is one of your slightly older videos but help would be greatly appreciated!! Edit: I just saw your latest video about barbed wire, i wish i saw it earlier 😭 Still, advice for the same problem would help a lot

[@ExonerativeKoala]

Nice one! Thanks Joey.

[@TheAgustin91]

bro estas dominando este programa de una forma increible

[@Janovich]

thanks!

[@tonylombardo3823]

Great video! Thank you. My wire twist isn't as tight for some reason. When I move the main cube in edit mode it sticks and clumps together. How do I fix this? Thanks.

[@tfdesign4072]

Thank you for making this!

[@Beldarak]

Great tutorial! Well explained and easy to follow even though this is pretty advanced to me and my low Blender's skills :D

[@cheapthrill]

I have a slight problem: when I add the second array & curve modifier, and set it to follow the curve I specify, it doesn't keep going on the actual curve like yours does. I'm using blender 2.91, but on Mac. Would that make a difference? Very new to blender so I apologize if this is a dumb question.

[@JoeyCarlino]

Sounds like you might need to apply the scale. Should work the same on Mac.

[@cheapthrill]

@@JoeyCarlino Ah, I did forget to do that. That worked! Thank you

[@p.w.5813]

I have the same problem, but I don't know what you mean with "apply scal", do I have to use "Fixed count"?

[@JoeyCarlino]

Ctrl+a then select scale

[@p.w.5813]

@@JoeyCarlino ok, thanks

[@Lance_G]

This is a great tutorial!

[@713Calm]

this will help me with my Spawn blend file!

[@ayman4181]

wow super good tutorial, Thanks!

[@stevenpollock7189]

at 5:30 , I sample the wire but then it changes the dimensions of the z and x axis to like 3.83 or something. making the barb way too thick for the wire. i try manually changing the dimensions by inputting 2mm but it doesnt let me. almost like theres a minimum dimension. any ideas?

[@Lesimz]

Thank you so much, brilliant !

[@legendaryg000]

I made the barbed wire but I’m having an issue when I exported it to a game that I’m working on. When it exports and is placed it doesn’t have it’s barbs is that normal?

[@David_Fernandez]

Amazing! Thank you a lot!

[@Hepworks]

At 943 when I try and scale them down to make the points, it scales the entire barb...any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

[@bohdan4157]

Man, you are cool! Thank you very much!

[@memske4138]

Thank you Bro ❤️

[@alyssinwonderland]

Hi ! Do you have a tutorial for the color effect you used for the video miniature ? I love the effect but can't find any good tutorial that makes it look like this one :(

[@Vintage_USA_Tech]

Damnit Man that was a good tutorial !

[@projectteens9740]

blender 3.0.0 screw plan doesn't rotate mine why..... and while i make object offset selected cube but array screw doesn't show up

[@David_Fernandez]

I just bought your barbed wire in Gumroad, but I have a question. I would like to give a random rotation to every barb in the X axis, no real barbed wire looks so perfect... how can I do that?? Thanks a lot in advance!

[@JoeyCarlino]

If you edit the curve and hit n to open the side panel, you can rotate the curve to get the result you're asking about. It works with proportional editing too

[@David_Fernandez]

@@JoeyCarlino Edit the curve? You mean the NurbsPath? Anyway I found the way to do it with "tilt", in the side panel you mentioned. Thanks a lot for your work!

[@JoeyCarlino]

Yep, the burbs path. I'd use the correct terminology but I'm not at my computer and couldn't remember the terms. I'm glad you figured it out!

[@alexmoya9774]

I have a problem when I set the origin in 3d cursor,the array part of the plane object goes to another place far away from the wire.(I checked the escale and rotation)

[@nyan1570]

7:00 Its not showing up for me? Like the new barb isnt there when i click the cube/wire

[@anfelg.5338]

7:28, how did you rotate everything on the x axis? I'm sorry I'm new to blender, and that part confused me.

[@keto9423]

I don`t know if it`s of any use now but you hit R key (rotate), then x,y or z depending on what axis you want to rotate the object around and then write down the number. So you`d hit R key then X key and then 9 and 0

[@zouu]

Nice!

[@123KBT456]

I can't get the mirrored arrayed cube to split into 2 objects even by unclicking merge. Pls help I've tried so many times

[@modernsimplicity6134]

Hi I’m having trouble at 5:44 I can’t seem to select the plane to rotate it. Help please.

[@rgfuierhf]

having the same problem too

[@alexmoya9774]

Same

[@alexmoya9774]

I figured out how to do it,you nerd to rotate before you delethe the face of the plane

[@mauroangst]

How can I make this grow organically along the main curve? Ill like to have the wire growing around the main curve and the barbs to grow the same way after the wire

[@taviux511]

Hello nice one, I just purchased your product, I have one question.. can you replace a spline to follow this? learning blender...

[@JoeyCarlino]

Yes, you can use a curve or a mesh. The only difference is the first few nodes. I'd it's a mesh you need the "mesh to curve" node, but if it's already a curve, then there's no need.

[@JoeyCarlino]

Oh yeah, in the product, I believe there is a switch for if you want to use a curve. You don't have to go into the nodes, it'll be in the modifier panel

[@taviux511]

@@JoeyCarlino thank you for your response looks really great, I cant see any modifiers in the panel only the geo notes and got a bit confused about the process, using blender 3.0

[@JoeyCarlino]

If you go to the Gumroad product page, there is a screenshot of the options you can control from the geonodes modifier. If you need more help, you can come to my discord server. I have a link in the description.

[@zo-yh9kg]

Can someone help me my wire won’t follow the curve? Why should i do?

[@TonyDoorChannel]

I dont get it. On 5:20 you removed the face from the plane, but after that you can rotate the face of the plane in edit mode. how is this possible? I have the same blender, 2.91, and it doesn't work the same way, I can't close the faces properly, can't rotate it

[@JoeyCarlino]

You can still select the edges. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work for you.

[@jostermayer]

you need to delete ONLY the face, when you delete face it deletes the edges and the vertices too

[@omarshoikh4119]

same problem here, can't rotate the shape after deleting "only faces"

[@tvinenko5284]

how to animate it barbed wire, so its rotating without moving [like a straight arm when you rotating it, like spin without moving]

[@JoeyCarlino]

The curve tilt in the N side panel

[@gabrielaperilla8403]

I tried it... It won't work. I tried adding the curve line to my barbed wire starter piece and it won't stick to it or join. I have no idea what to do.

[@JoeyCarlino]

Most of the problems so far are fixed by applying the scale, see if that helps.

[@gabrielaperilla8403]

@@JoeyCarlino I did that and it won't stick together. Like there's a curve and there's a barbed wire. I added the curve modifier and it still won't connect, it'll simply copy the shape of the curve.

[@JoeyCarlino]

Maybe it's the order of the modifiers or their settings. Make sure the curve is below the array. If you go step by step, you'll get it.

[@JoeyCarlino]

I updated the timestamps so you can more easily find the spots you need help with.

[@gabrielaperilla8403]

@@JoeyCarlino I did that too... I honestly have no clue what to do and my barbed liner is simply following the curved line but won't join...

10:34 I think you'd just have to manually move the curve around.
