    By far the best blender teacher i have found. You explain things like we are beginners but also use terminology that everyone will understand, you explain things not in use of crazy theories like we have been doing this for years on end. Most tutorials on blender act like we have been doing this for years.
    Thank you!!!

    I got into using Blender to create 3d models/prints for jewelry making. This is hands down the single most useful tutorial I have watched for my intended use. So awesome, I can't thank you enough!

    Thank you for the simple, clear and helpful video!
    At first I only saw 5 options (Bezier, Circle, Nurbs Curve, Nurbs Circle and Path) in my Add>Curve menu. To see the other curve options shown below Path at 2:02 I had to enable the "Add Curve: Extra Objects" add-on.

    • @RyanKingArt
      @RyanKingArt  3 роки тому +8

      Thanks! Yeah, I had forgotten that I turned on that addon, before I made the video.

    Some instructors move at a crank head pace and you have to slow down vid to 1/4 speed......Some instructors don't have the access to a microphone...some instructors think I'm interested in blasting music that drowns out the voice....some instructors do a 5 minute and skip over 5 steps in the 1st minute...RYAN does it the professional, comprehensive and caring way...making it look easy..Thanks R.K.

  • @Ran-John
    @Ran-John 2 роки тому +41

    In newer builds you have to enable the arrows that run along the curve in edit mode. The setting is in viewport overlays, they're the normals/handles checkbox.

      can't find that in edit mode, can you be more specific ? these arrows and handles still don't show for me

    • @Ran-John
      @Ran-John Рік тому +3

      @@Turb0Transp1 Viewport overlays( it's a drop down menu on the top right), curve edit mode(at the bottom of the dropdown menu), the checkbox is next to a slider, check the check box then select a curve in the viewport. Go into edit mode, the curve should show the normal/arrows.
      Only curves will show these types of normal.

  • @samdavepollard

    not only super useful but also very well presented
    you have a knack for presenting without all the umm-ing and ahh-ing which plague so many of these tutorials (and i say that without intending to be harsh on those who share their knowledge - presenting in a clear manner is difficult - you do a brilliant job)
    many thanks; subbed

    omg you helped me with so much in this video. I'm making my first room in blender to learn how to 3d model, and you taught me so many things other videos hadn't to do certain commands I really needed to use, in a easier format, all while also teaching me how to use the curve. So many things you mentioned helped me in different aspects. I'm finally starting to feel like I'm becoming familiar with blender now. Thank you, so much for this video. Truly.

    I have a question, if possible, please answer 🙏🏻
    Creating a pipe with this method has created a problem for me, as the scaling, the radius of the pipe also changes. I want you to suggest a method that, like modifiers, with any type of change like scale , the value of the radius remain fixed
