      Here is a demonstration of how to make a knob in blender , the basic procedure , showing that its quite simple.
      Not a tutorial that you could follow as such but might raise some questions that I would be happy to answer.

      I plan to do some proper tutorials in an attempt at giving back to this great forum 🙂
      If anyone is interested that is ? Could also do a tutorial on Photoshop to After fx as well as Illustrator to After fx for vectors.

          @lalalandsynth Thanks Mate
          But Without Voiceover/ Key Commands It Is Pretty Hard To Figure Out What You Are Doing.
          BTW Thanks 🙂

            @Natanr Yes, I will make a proper tutorial with a voiceover and key commands shown , guess I am checking interest ?

              Anyone used OBS that can tell me how I can show keystrokes ?
              I found some plugins but most of them have customisation to show parts of the keyboard , I need something that will just show a display of the keystrokes ?

                  @lalalandsynth Cool! thanks a lot 😉
                  I have learned not so long ago to make knobs, it's not easy for beginners, in fact, drawing/shaping is the easiest part...
                  A question though, is there a reason you add so many "circle vertices" at the top/bottom if you don't use them to shape the knob?
                  Or it's maybe just a habit?

                    @ustk Although there are many ways to do this (namely using "mark Sharp , Auto smooth and bevel modifier) I am using Subdivision Surface so I need to use a "ring cut" and bring it closer to the edges to make the corners sharper.

                    Not having any bevels will make it look ...well...bad 🙂

                      @lalalandsynth Thanks, I know this trick but I am more talking about the very top and bottom surfaces?
                      On the top, for instance, you've created 5 circles before closing the surface you see what I mean?
                      One close to the edge, I understand for smooth edges reason, but why 5?

                        @ustk I see, its to keep the topology working for subdivision surface.
                        If I just use F to close the top this will happen .

                          I could use just one circle , but using several gives me options for the topology.
                          So yes, partly a habit 🙂
