Original subtitles

hey everyone it's gg i'm going to very

quickly show you how to make a cuban

chain link in this video i'm a blender

2.9 and when you start off new in

general you're going to see this cube

you can go ahead and hit x to delete

that

shift a

curve

circle hit one on your number pads and

go into this side view if you don't have

one you can always just do

alt no muscle click and drag

to pull that around

so now you want to go into

the edit mode and you can hit tab to do

that

select the middle

vertice

doesn't matter which one is selected

you're just going to go ahead and

drag it out

to start to make this kind of

figure eight infinity shape

it doesn't have to be completely perfect

but you do want to make sure that

they're

pretty even

okay and then

you're going to alt then wrestle click

and

drag

select the middle again

go ahead and pull it around so that you

can make that kind of

figure eight looking

shape

all right

go into your object data properties

go to geometry

and add in some depth

if it's too thick or too skinny you can

always fix that later

and i want to

adjust this just a little bit so it has

a little more height i'm going to click

one of the handles grab

and because this is going along the

z-axis i'm going to tap z just to make

sure it stays straight

and you can use that to

use that little trick to

grab or scale anything along whatever

axis you want whether it be z x or y

okay so now we're gonna hit tab to go

back into object mode w convert to mesh

because you need to have this as a mesh

when you go into sculpt mode you're

going to go down to box trim

click in an upper corner and drag down

it's easier to

get to where you need to be that way

and you're going to

trim around where it dips in

and you're going to do the same to the

bottom half

all right go back to layer layout or

modeling

and

that's looking pretty good

now you're going to go to your modifier

tab at modifier array

change your factor

just so that it starts to connect a

little bit and this is a little skinny

so i want to make sure it's a little

thicker

just for what i wanted to show you of

course you can leave it then like this

too

hit tab to go into edit mode a to select

all

s

and drag it until you get

your desired thickness

i think that's good

i'm just going to up the count

if

it's starting to touch here you don't

really want that

so you can adjust your factor let's do

5.5 for this

that's pretty decent

nothing's really touching there

nothing's touching at all so now go

ahead

click in the 3d viewport in the 3db port

curve

circle scale

scale it up

select the cuban

chain link again

or add modifier curve

eyedropper

select

the circle

click on the circle

tab

ctrl t to twist it

if you want more of like a

kind of

bracelet want a different shape hit tab

that's the gist of it

you can also play around with the circle

and change the way

this looks if you want to put this

around someone's neck or character's

neck or whatever

you can always

up the count

or you can hit s to scale it

until

it links up

again of course you can go into your

shading

[Music]

new

[Music]

up the metallic

lower the roughness

change your base color if you want it to

be silver that's

fine if you wanted to be gold just pick

a yellowy color and

that is the gist of how to make a cuban
