Blender Challenges help

#1

I am new in the CG art and I have recently started to learn.

I am using Blender 3D for starters and I have downloaded the courses to learn step by step.
Each step ends with a challenge to replicate without explaining how, in order to make you experiment and get familiar with the tools.

I am currently at the bezier curve course and finished all previous challenges except the paper clip which involves the use of bezier curves to achieve it,

The hard part is to bend the curve to form the paper clip.

I opened the blender file with the paper clip model to study it and noticed that it is only one bezier curve with lots of handles which help in twisting and stretching the curve .

The initial bezier curve that blender gives me though has only two handles which is not helping.

Can someone help me on this one?

either use e-key for extrude in edit-mode,
or in edit-mode with both handles selected
hit w-key to bring up a menu
and select subdivide there. :slight_smile:
