Chapter 23: Exploring 3D Mesh and Surface Modeling
- Create a simple 3D mesh. Mesh modeling allows you to create more organic 3D forms by giving you unique smoothing and editing tools. You can start your mesh model by creating a basic shape using the mesh primitives.
- Master It Name the seven mesh primitives available on the Primitives panel of the Mesh Modeling tab.
- Solution Mesh Box, Mesh Cone, Mesh Cylinder, Mesh Pyramid, Mesh Sphere, Mesh Wedge, Mesh Torus.
- Edit faces and edges. The ability to edit faces and edges is essential to creating complex shapes with mesh objects.
- Master It Name the tool that is used to divide a face into multiple faces.
- Solution Split Face.
- Create mesh surfaces. The Mesh primitives let you create shapes that enclose a volume. If you just want to model a smooth, curved surface in 3D, you might find the surface mesh tools helpful.
