        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.

              I’m definitely following this thread and intend to go back and try to recreate the lessons in each gif. I didn’t 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.

                    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.

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

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

                                      Prima again ! πŸ‘ πŸ˜„
                                      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.
