How to bevel vertices in Blender?

Why might you need to bevel your vertices?

Beveling vertices is especially useful when creating shapes such as pipes or cables, or in cases where you want your mesh to have smooth corners without significantly increasing subdivision levels. You can also convert your vertices into a curve, add depth under the ‘Bevel’ category, and then convert it back into a mesh to create cylindrical shapes with smooth corners to use in game engines.

Note: If you are tired of watching video tutorials and would like to see more text-based tutorials like this one from me, you can support me on Patreon so I can dedicate more time to creating them.

How to use the bevel vertices option in Blender?

• Select all your vertices in ‘Edit Mode’.
• Press either ‘Ctrl + B + V’ or ‘Ctrl + Shift + B’ to activate vertex beveling mode.
• By scrolling up and down with your mouse wheel, you can adjust the number of new vertices that are added to the selected ones.
