Hello hive! Happy day. Today I'm sharing a quick tutorial.
Let's learn how to style a braid or a twist very quickly.
¡Hola colmena! feliz día. Hoy les comparto un tutorial rápido.
Vamos a aprender a modelar una trenza o rosca de manera muy rápida.
This is done quickly, we just create a plane, go to modifiers and search for Screw.
Esto se hace rápidamente, solo creamos un plano, vamos a modifacores y buscamos Screw.
We move the "Screw" value and the others according to what we need to do
Movemos el valor "Screw" y los otros según lo que necesitamos hacer.
To give it a little more detail we can subdivide the plane and eliminate the central vertex so that the modifier does not create geometry inside.
Para darle un poco mas de detalles podemos subdividir el plano y eliminar el vértice central para que el modificador no cree geometría por dentro.
You can then scale the new vertices to give more detail, and finally apply the modifier and modify the mesh a little to your liking.
Luego pueden escalar los nuevos vértices para dar mas detalles, y final mente aplicar el modificador y modificar un poco la malla a gusto.

Nice! Now you need to do a textured example ;D
I'm really glad that screw thing exists, I remember doing those by hand a billion years ago before I learned how to rail extrude in Blender (I think it's called something else in Blender but it was rail extrude in Lightwave so that's apparently ingrained in my brain, but it's basically doing a square and then using curves to make paths for the vertices to follow and then extruding your shape along those paths).
There's also a couple of other ways to do similar things with splines, have you played around with them yet? :D
No, but I learned this by playing around a bit haha. A few days ago I wanted to make this shape, and the tutorials I saw were something like what you're saying, but I was in a hurry and downloaded it from Blenderkit haha.
I've realized that tutorials are never highly voted on here, well at least not these Blender ones. I hope someone has seen it and finds it useful at least
Blender (and related skills) are a pretty niche thing on here I think. Maybe one day when there's more 3d artists or people that want to learn :)
