In this part of my Blender Tutorial series I’ll cover how to cut neat holes in both flat and curved meshes. We’ll be covering the Shrinkwrap Modifier, Knife Project, Bridge Edge Loops, Subdivision Surface Modifier, Beveling and more.
Like always you can find a cheat sheet with exactly what I did in text format below the video. I hope you find this tutorial useful.
