This event is part of the January 2018 Class, "Getting Started with 3D Modeling & Blender".
Second week of the class: Enter the world of mesh modeling! This is the oldest form of building objects in 3D, in the computer. The discussing/demo today revolves around the technical art of “pushing and pulling verts”, as modelers lovingly called it.
We're piggy-backing off the Mesh Modeling Fundamentals course here, where practice makes perfect. So we’ll be mesh-modeling an object or two to demonstrate tools and workflow available with Blender. It’s ideal if you practice along with me!
3D cursor editing maybe?
Maybe an important topic for transforms is the origin point
matthew the first time you press E you extrude along the normals (before you click away)
Can you extrude a face along a path?
i normally use shift d for that so i guess i missed you can also ctrl-v :D
Try to make a Klein bottle. Might break Blender. ;-)
A snake oroboros cup
Since there are no faces where the handle connect, how would filling up the cup work?
Surprised @theluthier hasn't yet mentioned the importance of references -- either physical or image
Can we make a bottomless cup of coffee?
