  • In this tutorial, I will show you how to use Curves in Blender.
    ➡️ I forgot to mention in the video that I have the "Add Curve Extra Objects" Addon turned on. You can turn it on in Blender's user Preferences, under Addons. It will give you extra curve objects to use.

    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 года назад +8

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

    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!

  • @Ran-John
    @Ran-John 2 года назад +40

    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.

      @Turb0Transp1 Год назад +1

      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 Год назад +2

      @@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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.
