Bezier Curve- The Bain of my existence

[Whos_The_Best]

I’m ashamed, proud, and exhausted to present two alterations of the base of lamp. Manipulating the curves wasn’t working for me for the past few hours…lol, but I have a dream!

So I persisted through the grueling exercise consisting of left click, adjust, Rage!, Repeat called “Bezier Curve; Do WHAT I WANT” and finally I can say I’ve now reached a point of understanding. This tool is truly a great asset only after you understand how to comfortable “Tweak” the thing.

Woosa, I’m going to sleep. I have exhausted my learning abilities for tonight. All the best everyone.

Special update The last couple of picture is the first PAWN Piece for the Nostalgia Chess Set im creating. I have alot of work cleaning the model up, texturing/materials to apply, and an actual base platform to create. But the set will be one to remember.
Hope you all like.*

Sometimes I use inkScape to form a shape.
Then export as .SVG and import it in Blender.

Yes curves are good once you get used to them.

Your Pawn looks good but I wonder if it would benefit from not being so low poly? There is a lot of shape there.

[Whos_The_Best]

I’ll have to test that route. cheers for the suggestion.

[Whos_The_Best]

I will keep that in mind as i go back through the model when cleaning up. I think ill clean up the model and then subdivide a few times to get the desired detail I think ill need.

Your wisdom is always welcome here Sensei @NP5 & Sensei @FedPete

Cheers!
