In Part 1 and Part 2 tutorial you have created minus/slotted screwdriver. How if you want to create plus/crosshead screwdriver? That's easy. Just follow this final tutorial section, and you can create that object in no time.

1. You need a new cross-section shape. In Front viewport, create a star spline. Use values like image below.

2. Before you continue, you may want to save your current progress. In Left viewport, change cross-sectional shape at 94% with new star shape. And change shape at 100% with circle. Then move shape at 87% and 94% closer to the tip.

3. Select shape at 100% and decrease its size. Also activate Linear Interpolation..

4. Image below shows finished screwdriver 3D model.

SignMakr64   |2010-02-07 02:59:34 This is what I was looking for! Someone from another 3D modelling website recommended I model a screwdriver for practice, since I'm a beginner. I started doing it as a poly, but your method is so much easier! Thank You Didik!!!

For example cylindrical and symmetrical object like screwdriver usually can be modeled easily using Lathe or Loft
