All I can say is WOW!

That one will really take some studying and a WHOLE LOT of practice.
Good. And hopefully you recognise that this thread is not meant to be a one on one tutorial.
What I think it is, is Box putting his slightly insane sketchup imagination out there.
And you are bogging him down.But. About your questions...How about a new post.EG: 'Boxions No1'?
I"ll follow...
not a trump fan. xx
SORRY!
Maybe someone can remove my posts or move them to a discussion thread.
Perhaps we could get Box to add a tip numer or name to each and then we could have a discussion thread for exact of the tip names/numbers. If that is done, maybe a monitor can move my posts/questions to the appropriate thread.

Just repost the gif as a post and give it a name...'How does this Box gif work' would do it...
-
Good point Baz but how do we clean up the junk I created in this thread so we get it back to the way it should be?
-
It's not that important really, I don't think there are that many people interested in the thread.

2000+ views, but I wonder how many are following? No way to see that info from this side I presume.

Iโm definitely following this thread and intend to go back and try to recreate the lessons in each gif. I didnโt find the questions and comments distracting, as some of the questions were ones I had myself!

I haven't recorded any interesting gifs lately but I did continue to doodle with Truebend.
So here's a render of a couple of crazy ceramic fruitbowls. Created using a version of the method shown above.

Magical transformations! I am fan!

Here's a simple one, just demoing the basics of building a shape as a solid. No detail in the teeth or accurate dimensions but it was done to show the process.

Sorry, not a tip or trick as such, but an experiment in mostly SUbD and Clothworks for making chain mail.

What size are they?

One of them is a shoulder. But you guys can look at things your own way.

Be buggered if I can see a shoulder...

Ok, enough renders for now.
How to make a twisted cable.
The plugin off screen is Fredo's Twisting.

Prima again !

after you have already twisted all the cables, about in the middle of the gif you delete 5 outer cables to copy the remainig outer one again around the middle axis 5x again - what makes this new copy step necessary? -
It's not technically necessary, but the twist has made them all unique components even though they are identical. By replacing them they become instances of one component rather than 6 separate components, this saves file size and makes it easier to modify them if I need to in future.

Nice thinking, mate.
