Curved stairs? (not spiral)

Post by **AndehX** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 12:28 pm

I can't believe I can't find a tutorial on this anywhere... The only tutorial I can find is for a spiral staircase, like this http://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/idtec ... stairs.php

I want stairs like this:

Anyone know the best way to make stairs like that?

Create 2 patch bevels for guidance and fiddle it together using the edge tool to align the brushes to the bevels.

Yeah I figured using patches as guidance was the best way. Cheers

I would have just used a curve generator and modified it a bit
