I'm trying to make a pretzel chip but I ran into an issue where meshes are intertwined (see red circles). Below is my model (made it using Bezier Curve):
A pretzel chip has the intertwined part blended together like so:
My question is how do I blend the meshes that intertwined each other?
Thank you in advance!
You could typically use a Skin modifier for this kind of object:
Draw the general shape with a simple vertex that you extrude (use a Mirror modifier to symmetrize, enable its Clipping option):
Give it a Skin modifier (CtrlA to scale the vertices):
Then a Subdivision Surface modifier in order to round the shape:
Apply the modifiers and rework the topology if you want:
Duplicate your object, give a Subdivision Surface to the copy, apply it in order to have a high-poly that you'll be able to sculpt:
