Birthday Candle by ycarry - oort - 03-14-2013
Seeing a cupcake in the gallery reminded me of the need to add this great thread from the old forum with info from ycarry.

Oh wow. In instructional video animated gif! I love it! Maybe we could swap models. One cupcake for one Candle. LOL!

Thanks for find this ycarry piece, oort: thanks!
I enjoyed it here.
To avoid the hand work to perform the initial
"select 2 adj. vert. faces every 2"
there is a fast way:
a) just select a long vertical edge (at appropriate place)
b) Select|Edge Loop|Every Nth Ring|Nth...
c) place "4" at "Interval" field (for the given situation, cylinder 16)
d) convert the resultant Edges to Faces (hit "F")
Can be useful for some more segmented cylinders.

Fonte Boa,
Glad you enjoyed it. That is one of my favorites from ycarry. Still hoping to see him post his screw and pencil tutorials again some day...
Also, great tip in simplifying the initial selections for face extrusion.
