Thanks for the tutorial. U lost me a few times but a quick rewind did the trick. You may have to script it better for a cohesive and easy tutorial vid. Still thanks a bunch!

[@Figura3D]

Thanks for the input! I don't really script in advance I just wing it, but I may need to since you are not the first one to tell me something like that

[@googplusisawful1922]

thanks!!! & for explaining the settings so i actually understand whats going on instead of just copying the settings you have :D

I like as you talk slowly when you demonstrate slowly. But in crucial to my learning process moments you do clicks so fast that I am loosing focus.
It is not enough to stop and rewind video.
Reverse mesh command is not working for me since I am still using Maya 2015 and display is different.
I have whole bunch of stuff in black and no u tube tutorials are covering this problem. I guess to elementary for advanced users.
I lost you also with "re do" command. In my case Ctrl Z is re do command.
Learning still a lot and for this I thank you.

Thanks for the comment, it's insightful and will help me think more about clicking things without thinking that some people don't get that immediately! That's the hardest part about creating tutorials in my opinion, thinking about what would be useful to people and then breaking it down to points that are crucial.
Can you specify the timestamps at which you lost me so I can clarify here in the comments?

[@citizencitizen3243]

@@Figura3D I am glad that my comment did not offend you. People are going for U-tube tutorials after trying to figure it out by themselves for stressful long time.
In my case I stop and run many times any tutorial because mind needs repetitions to settle into stabile path.
One brick out of place and whole think isn't going to work.
So people (me) leaving this tutorial to jump into another in hope to find the answer.
Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with us.

Do you have any tutorial to turn tube into curve? make the curve inside the tube. I have create braided shape in zbrush and i would like to turn the tube into curve so i can make it as a xgen guide.

[@arturperzyna5453]

So an inefficient way of doing this.

[@Figura3D]

Yeah I guess there are other and better methods, what would you suggest to be better?
