    Love this! Stuck on one part though (completely noob question here), but how do you get that quick menu where you can select "Separate/Join"?
    Menu can be seen at at this 0:56 mark. Thanks!

    Its a real shame that you don't use software to display which keys you are using, especially at the end of the tutorial when your are splitting and editing the individual cables. I can't tell what you are doing so I can't replicate it :/

    • @ferretart
      @ferretart Рік тому +13

      He's not doing anything too fancy! So all he's just selecting an edge and using the move tool (shortcut G) and then moving them around freely/rotating them. And how he's getting a large area to move around he has proportional editing turned on (should be at the top of your workspace in the centre, it's a little circle symbol) and then just to the right of that symbol there's a drop down menu which I think by default looks like a smooth A or mountain peak, click on that to bring down the options and click "Connected Only". That way you move around anything inside your "sphere" (mouse wheel up and down to increase/decrease the size of said sphere) and it'll only effect the individual tube you're selecting, despite it being part of a larger mesh!
      Okay LOOKS like a lot of info but I swear it's v straightforward haha. Just turn on Proportional editing> Connected only> G to move/S to scale/R to rotate.

      in the top left is a small group of buttons, those are the select modes, it has 3 modes, Vertices, faces, and edges, they should have little decals on them so you'll be able to tell
      (note the buttons are right under File, Edit, window etc tabs)

      Applying all transforms while it was still a curve worked for me. You just have to be in object mode for the option to pop up.
