Why sad? You can activate the Spline Rig tool in polygon/edge/vertex mode if you want to bend the object. In object mode, it works on objects. At 3:45, https://youtu.be/yuCPC_OShRY.

1. Edit > Options > Dropping StreamLine Tool By Hotkey/Button Disabled.

2. There are two vertex chamfer styles, chop-off/refine. No segments can be generated in chop-off style. You can switch styles by tapping Space key during the operation.

3. Streamline basic tool can not be bound to a hotkey. You need to create a streamline line tool and add the streamline basic tool into the streamline tool. Then bind the streamline tool to a hotkey.

4. There two ways. 1) View > Object Shading > Object Individua Shadings > ... 2) Double click the related buttons in the top toolbar.

5. The Spline-Rig tool shown in the video is the early version which only works on mesh subobjects. The later version includes the object level operation which works in object mode.

1. How to disable the tool deactivation on repeated button press? I don`t like that move manipulator disappear when I accidently double click W, E or R

2. Maybe Im doing smth wrong, but I cant chamfer vertex with multiple segments to make rounded plane. It says "WMB (spin wheel, I gues) Alt + drag". I hold F to bevel, then hold WMB, then hold ALT ant try to drag, but nothing happens

3. Can I bind to a hotkey some StreamLine Basic tools? Now it seems that I can only assign them to Hot tools (1/2/3/A/B/C)? For example, Local Scale (Proportional) Selection or Circularize (must have)?

4. How to toggle transparent/solid including unselected objects too?

5. (screenshot) I try to do a Spline Rig like in this video on a 4:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkCsH64sYBQ), but the object doesn`t bend

Geometry > Subdivision > Level_0-level_8
You can increase mesh density in another way, @0:30 https://youtu.be/kSldy5gAJmY

View > Keyless View Navigation Enabled

I manage to do one of the voronoi pattern tutorial on the triangle.

I am trying to do the pattern on a round item attached red selection where I want to put the holes(voronoi)...what is the best approach if I want holes at specific area?
And how would one make the pattern rounder a bit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=226ESXK5tHg at 4 sec

Is there a way to increase the subD level more than 2?
Also is there a way to pan and rotate without having to press Alt?
 
Thank you for the new tutorials...much needed!

You need to Add the sphere object to the retopo reference list and turn on the "Retopo mode enabled" option. After that, make sure the sphere is not selected in scene. Selected object can not be used as Retopo reference object.
