I used to just search “screw thread cinema 4d” on YouTube. Haven’t had to make one for a while but yeah I’d use the Screw Modifier in Blender.

Hi John, I have looked through the series and there isn't one. He definitely shared the tip, it's a really abstract approach that hits the target - you'd never think to try the method but when you see it it just makes total sense! he now only has three modelling tips on his YT page too. I've searched the net and cannot find it. How would you approach this method? would you use the screw mod in blender?

Hey Chris, I’m not sure but pretty sure there’s no thread tut in MILG 11. I’ll look in my archives.

Hi John! I'm looking for a tutorial Toby once made on modelling a thread. He created a plane, subdivided it into I think 15 divisions then used a clone deformer to offset the shape and extruded from there. I thought it was in MILG11 but I can't find it. Do you remember?
