I love Blender...

But I also love the people who are contributing to my channel as well. Your comments are extraordinary and make me so happy that I can help bring more knowledge and support into your Blender and open-source lives.

For example, one of the comments prompted me to do this particular tutorial. not only was it referring to a previous one I had made, but it also made me think about exactly what would be the best process around to create strap bindings on a sword.

So this one covers how to do opposite straps with the screw modifier, how to bake them, edit the straps so they appear to interweave, make global proportional edits to make it sit over the handle then sculpt in a few impurities to make it feel more accurate.

Any, there, you go.

I hope you like it
