This was so well explained, heaps of gratitude. I was able to create the object to take into Dimension and texturise there thanks to this excellent video.

I have been looking how to do this everywhere! Thank you so much for your video.

This was extremely helpful, Chip. Thank you!!!

Thanks for showing this very helpful tutorial and happy blending with blender.

Quick and stright to the point! Thanks!

Thank you!

20+ years ago people made this with 4steps: 1.making one small bump (diamond shape in this case) 2. cloning bump in two dimensions 3. Bending this patern 360 4. extruding the hole edges, cap holes, chamfer (bevel). It was 4 minutes, not three, and in opposite direction. Nice tutorial, thank you.

Looks pretty!

Thanks. Such an easy to follow tutorial.

Thanks for this tuto! Very helpful!

Just what I was looking for, thank you!

Exactly what i needed. thank you!

That was awesome!

Thanks a lot. Just what I needed

Fantastic tip...

thanks, it was just what I needed

Great! to the point no waste of time! suscribed!

EXCELLENT TUTORIALLLL THANKS ALOTTT

Nice.😊 Very Thanks for tutorial.

Very nice tutorial 🙂

That what I was needed 👌

Simple, effective, great！！！

Very good quality good thanks

Very nice.

Awesome.

Fucking brilliant man! I'm creating a beer tap faucet/handle and wasn't sure how I was going to make the knurled part. This is it! Thank you!

Wow!

Great

Wow

super sick stuff. its dope you're making all this stuff available for everyone. do your addons work for blender 2.91 by any chance?

Yeah, I recently added a new pico mostly coral only aquarium. I've had a few in the past and enjoy them.

Great knowledge to have. Thank you! However, the polygonal count on a small detail object seems a bit high, especially for those of us who make models to use in other programs.

You can always create a flat knurled surface, create a normal map and then cylinder project it.

@@ChippWalters Thanks! I thought to add how this knowledge could be used to create bump/displacement/normal maps for use in other programs, but then realized it might take a tutorial to explain.

u should have inner dimension as well... I was looking to 3d print a knob

That was awesome. Thanks, Chip. Question: is there a way to create these (the knurl effect) procedurally?

@ChippWalters

3 жыл бұрын

I imagine you can create a bump map to do it. Or just bake this knob onto a cylinder.

I'm no expert, but I would try the geometry nodes for this.

Using microdisplacement, UV -> Separate.XYZ, then add a multiple of one to the other. *integer -> fraction -> *2 and you have one linear ramp up/down in a spiral (regular UV layout from a noncapped cylinder). Then do the same where you subtract instead of adding in the start, and you have an opposite spiral. Then do whatever you want with them, minimum should give similar results as geo with bevel node. Adding or multiplying is worth looking into, as well as smooth minimum and smooth maximum. Or run them through a sine function (remember to remap back to 0-1 before more math). Or a circular function like result-(result squared) -> square root (or 1-(result squared) -> squared root), can't remember. If the object is distant, just swap out displacement only for bump only. Not sure how to do it with geo nodes, never tried. Microdisplacement is problematic used on assets, as it samples the source which could be far away. But I don't think I'd ever want this level of geometry in any assets.

Hey there Chip, I have a complex curvy model that I want to knurl. I noticed how easy this appears to be but, my mesh is not even as is the knob. I don't have perfectly aligned vertical lines to intersect my perfectly aligned horizontal lines. Do you think I should still try to use this method? I'm having a heck of a time with all the techniques but that is due to my ignorance. This looks easy on my brain.

@ChippWalters

You might try using a remesh modifier to get the lines correct. Or, another way is to use normal/displacement maps.

also in view>'frame selected'... '/' is all the way to the right though so I recommend setting it to shift+f (f for focus), which is always under your fingers (or close).

You lost me at, "Hit A, F". Nothing happened ?? That's why I hate keyboard shortcuts in tutorials as nothing gets explained??

A equals select all, f equals make a face. So when you select all the vertices and you hit the f key it'll turn an The selected edges to a face. Sorry I didn't do better.
