A Discord user wanted to know how to create the perf grill you see above in the boom box, and I created a couple of tiny videos of how I would do it to help him out:

Hi Chipp, the 2n link it's corrupted. I can't watch it

Richard Osborn

Great tutorial Chipp, thanks. Is there anyway of making the holes a different shape e.g. hexagonal?

That's a good question. You can only bevel vertices in powers of 2. It might take a different strategy, perhaps using a Boolean array.

Richard Osborn

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try...

You might try beveling with one, to give you 4 vertices, then checker deselect and bevel with one again. Then you'd have to select the verts somehow and confirm to circle using Loop tools.
