In this tutorial, you’ll learn a quick and fun method for merging two shapes in Blender without using any add-ons, courtesy of Gleb Alexandrov from Creative Shrimp. This technique is perfect for hard-surface modeling and offers a fast, though not mathematically perfect, solution.

Key Steps:

• Setup: Create two intersecting cylinders.
• Boolean Operation: Use the Boolean modifier to unite the shapes.
• Edge Selection: Define the edges where the shapes intersect.
• Bevel and Smooth: Apply beveling and use the smooth vertices command to blend the intersection.
• Final Touches: Optimize the mesh and use sculpting mode for additional smoothing.

Additional Tips:

• Use Eevee for material preview.
• Add materials and adjust roughness for a realistic shine.
• Consider using the Offset Cut tool in MESHmachine for a more precise approach.
