  • In this video, we’re going to check out some different uses for the bevel tool inside of Blender!
    Bevel tool works inside of edit mode
    Works differently depending on what you select. Mostly you’ll probably select edges because it’s the most predictable?
    1. Edges - bevels edge between two faces
    2. Faces - bevels attached edges
    3. Vertices - bevels edges between vertices
    Keyboard Shortcut - Control+B
    With bevel tool active, scroll your mouse wheel up to add additional cuts
    If you do use the actual tool instead of the keyboard shortcut, there are some other options down below. Of particular interest is the option for a Custom profile - you can adjust your profile points based on the number of divisions you have
    Can select multiple edges at once
    This is different than the bevel modifier. Bevel modifier is great for using the bevel tool to make objects look smoother. However, if you’re looking for actual geometry you can work with in your model, you want the bevel tool.
    Can also use to add geometry at loop cuts - add loop cuts, select with alt-click

    Hi there, I design lightsaber (or laser swords!) and use the Bevel feature a lot to create the saber's handgrips. I had forgotten about the custom profile function so I may have to go back and experiment with that to create some nice ridge detailing - thanks for the reminder.

    Just what I was looking for. Busy making chairs, learning & practice. Probably one of the first things hitting me over the head is the bevel headache. One moment it works perfectly. The next moment I have highlighted edges of which half of them bevels in different/opposite directions. And other instances it bevels flat and not around the corner. I also can't seem to get the bevel modifier to work like what you've done here -- and have to resort to the bevel tool only in edit mode. Also, I saw somewhere that subdivision modifier needs to be below bevel modifier if you are using it in that order..
    Also, in my blender 2.91 that bevel properties you have in the left corner, mine is less advanced. I only see that when I use the bevel modifier. But as I mention, I have to resort to the bevel tool because I can't seem to get the bevel modifier to freakin bevel properly. Catch-22

    I've watched a lot of your videos. I've yet to find any (yours or other folks) that focus on what if's. Like.. right now? I need a "When bevels go wrong" video. lol Someone needs to make videos of When stuff goes wrong so that we can get help figuring it out! :) I have one corner of a window that just will NOT bevel correctly/uniformly etc. and I can't for the life of me figure out the issue. Yes, I did rotation & scale transforms. ;) Anyway... that's my suggestion for future videos for us novices. hehe Either way, thanks for your great site!

    great for doing edges but if faces are not all same size like a rectangle the bevel as you drag it out it does not stay equal

  • @truedox
    @truedox Před 8 měsíci

    How might you bevel the bottom of a cube so that the side profile of the bevel starts at 45 degrees at the bottom, but then smoothly transitions to vertical when the bevel reaches the side of the cube? Often times I want to bevel the bottom of a model for 3D print, but I don't want the bevel at the bottom of the shape to create an overhang of more than 45 degrees. I see the profile property may work but the only way I know how is to manually move the profile points, which isn't totally accurate. Otherwise it seems I have to make a normal round bevel, then cut off the bottom of the shape at 1/4 the height of the bevel.

    • @TheCGEssentials
      @TheCGEssentials  Před 3 lety +1

      Wouldn't you just use the menu that pops up when you first bevel? Also...if you're going to work in 3D, you should probably get a mouse....

    Hi everyone,
    Is anyone here experienced with Blender? I'm struggling with beveling and could really use some help. I've tried a few addons, but they haven't worked well for me.
    I'm currently trying to make some street signs, but the edges always look sharp even after I use the bevel tool or the bevel modifier. Can anyone recommend a good bevel addon that’s reliable and user-friendly?
    Thanks!

    Not to nitpick, but you forgot to add the "press C to snap bevel" tip so that geometry doesn't intersect.
