Modeling

Blender’s Curve-Tools are quite a powerful and convenient way to model all kind of things. Tubes, Lathe-Objects, Logos, Tentacles and many more are totally easy and fast to create by using curves. This tutorial shows you how to use the different types of curves, control-points and handles and how to use them. You will learn how to trace a logo and to give it some depth, and how to create lathe-objects within Blender and add some variations to them by using the lattice- and the cast-modifier.

    I tried Shift h to turn on Auto Align in 2.5.9 but it does not seem to work. Does anyone know how I can do this in the latest version?

      In Blender 2.5+ a few of the default keyboard shortcuts were changed. Now you need to press V while editing the curve, and you will get a drop down list to pick the handle type. You can also press T and look in the side panel for ‘Handles’ with auto, vector, align, and free.

    Agree that it is a great tutorial, thanks so much. But following along I ran into a problem with converting the bezier shape into a solid. I couldn’t. Next I tested with just a simple closed curve, and that doesn’t seem to work either. Nor a Bezier circle – but a Nurbs cylinder converts ok to wireframe and back. I’m on Mac os 10.6 and using 2.5.9. Is i a bug? Anyone else having similar issues?

    Hi, I got inspired by this basic tut video and downloaded the latest Blender 2.62 to get me started but eventually the “curves and surface” panel on the right hand side is not actually showing.
