Quick demonstration of Knob making in Blender.

@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 ? -

Blender has an add-on

@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 :)

@lalalandsynth Ok I see thanks
