Create a Rubber Duck

This exercise focuses on the free form, squishy aspect. Unlike the flashlight model, the exact size and placement of the objects is not critical. The overall form is the main objective.

This tutorial shows you how to

• Create simple surfaces

• Rebuild a surface

• Edit surface control points

• Draw and project curves

• Split surfaces

• Blend between two surfaces

• Light and render the model

Start

Each command is available from either the menu or the toolbars. In this exercise, we will use the menu commands. You are, of course, free to find the command in the toolbars if you prefer to use them.

1. Start a New model.

2. In the Open Template File dialog box, select Small Objects - Millimeters.3dm and click Open.

   It does not matter which template you use. The scale of this model is not important.
