Absolutely top Blender tutorials. Thank You so much for making blender understandable. It is my hobby from time to time because of You. It is very good 3d software however needs a lot of good explanation at the beginning. Starting blender is like sitting in a jet for the first time with manual in Chinese, but after couple of weeks it is just fun. After understanding some core basics, going further is super fun. Like flying a jet..i guess.

Great tutorial, thanks!
waw what a bezier curve tutorial, i was never be such curious to play with bezier curve before this tutorial. bevel and taper object are super cool tool in blender.
The go to guy again for a concise tutorial. Thanks!
Excellent Tutorial!!! Super Helpful!
Veri nice, tutorial for Bezier Curves
Thank you for sharing this video.
Great tutorial, a lot of useful information, advancing and a very good pace. Thanks!
Excellent to the point work here… Well done and thanks for the time you spent on it.
i subscribe you because i need you
thankss
You are great teacher. Thank you for what you're doing from cold Russian Siberia!
THANK YOU! For this tutorial. I watched a couple other curve tuts and didn't understand WTF was going on and I thought I bet BornCG knows hows to explain this well, and well, I was right.
Your tutorials are simply the best.
Really Really useful, Thank you teacher.
TY SO MUUUCH
<3 the tutorials
They never fail to help me
The 2nd half of the video I was thinking about the strings that come from the hood of your hoodie. This was very interesting…. some crazy tools!! Thanks!!
Thanks for your excellent tutorial.
Great video, keep up the good work! 😀
This is really helpful thank you very much
i love blender but i think i prefer c4d splines than curves in blender
better than using path curve, i'd say 🙂 thanks bornCG
I selected LIKE first, before I watch your video
Great Video
Thanks a lot for this. Curves were always a little difficult to manipulate especially the tapering part. I finally understood it works.
In the Add curves Section on the tools bar on the left side how do i lock it to a specific axis like in adobe photoshop if you hold Shift and then draw it will be locked on that axis sadly blender doesn't have that is there another way to lock the freehand draw curves to a specific axis that would be nice?
This video makes me want to eat churros!
learnt a lot here. thanks!
Is there a way to cut a curve? I've tried split and separate but they need more than one point selected. No big deal Just thinking if there was a better workflow. Also can a point be dissolved? And one other thing I m trying to do is to copy and paste curves together. Joining them and filling between seems to work but I don't see a method for merging two points. Thanks very much for the videos and any extra time you can spare.
Great tutorial; thanks. This is the first time I think I've seen the taper object explained. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot !! I dont know why others tutorial avoid the use of bezier curves, you really can make hard looking figures with this…
Nice, I always wondered what those are useful for… now, the only thing I'm wondering about, is why my personal Blender tutor never showed them to me xD
My God this program in not for mere mortals to use.
But one thing you should have mentioned here is that BLENDER"s curve implementation ,especially NURBS and also a bit of BEZIER,is quite weak compared to 3DS MAX or MAYA who in turn have a much weaker implementation compared to RHINO
wow I have a new toy inside blender now
Wow curves do a lot more than I thought possible. Everyday I'm learning new things about blender. And I've been learning for about 2 months.
sir i was following you from first of your toutorials , actually im expecting grass and nature assets toutorials from you,its an requst
