This has been the result of playing around trying to get a better way to have a beveled object and looking at the positives and negatives of the different options.

Nice trick gonna try this in my next project.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

😁 Let us know how it goes.

[@johnlynnbeck]

Rounded edges also add physical durability. Sharp corners are more prone to impact damage than those with even a slight roundover. This is true in both woodworking and in designing 3d printed parts!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Very good call, and I wonder how much of a reason that is for the plastic shapes too. Great point 👌🏼

[@georgb302]

Thank you very much. Learned new things as always on your chanel.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

😁 I always love to hear that Georgb

[@karmachameleon326]

Awesome as usual!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Thanks Chameleon

in the last example, using the bevel modifier in weight mode you can achieve more control where you want in the model (limited but in some cases a plus). EDIT COMMENT TEST 😂. Sorry for deleting the check on the gear video (there was a like and and answer), AV I hope that didn't hurt you. But the issue is still there: I can't put a comment and here I can't put an answer on your answer, so I try this. (I can delete this part later).

[@ArtisansofVaul]

That's a good call. For this I was trying to find something more generic that doesn't require much tinkering to make work once set up. But that is a good option.

[@Starflight_Miniatures]

Thanks for the video!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Thanks for watching and commenting Starflight 😁

[@MusicForTheBroken]

Love the double subd trick, thanks!🙏

Experiment with the different Geometry settings in the bevel modifier, they're there to help with the inner corner geometry you didn't like

[@ArtisansofVaul]

I am aware, there's even a video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIaWl4Vmj96Dqqc Unfortunately in many situations they don't work/function in a way that means they will always work, where as this solution will. So this works as a more generic solution allowing you to start making your shape without having to then tinker.

[@keithmathews4605]

Great video, as always. Short, on point, and useful. I do have one small question, that is way off topic, but no one in the Blender forums/discord seems to know an answer. When using Blender 4.1 and I import an .stl file into a scene that I have been working on, each and every one that gets imported is set to 'auto-smooth'. I don't want the things to be set to auto-smooth, so I right click and set them to 'shade flat'. Someone told me that I can do this as a batch command for the entire scene, which is great, I guess, but I do not want Blender to assume that I want every stinking thing that I import in to be set to auto-smooth. Is there some setting somewhere that tells Blender to stop doing this crap? Again, I get it, I can simply set the things to shade flat... but why is there not an obvious way to make Blender do it by way of some global setting? Is it a huge deal? No, not really. Is it SUPER ANNOYING to me? Yes, very much so.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

I totally hear you. I hate it and there are other functions that seem to automatically also set autosmooth on. I'd love to be able to turn it off but as this point I don't know of a way to. If you do find out how PLEASE let me know it really is an annoying way of time so I totally get where you are coming from.

[@losthighwayblues]

Any idea when the next BlenderMarket sale is?

[@ArtisansofVaul]

In about a week I think 😁👍🏻
