Episodes in this Tutorial

Editable Poly

Learn how to convert a model to an Editable Poly and begin shaping it by selecting vertices, edges, borders, polygons, and elements.

Selection

Learn fast ways to select geometry, including loop and ring selection, grow and shrink, and other tools that help you target specific components.

Cloning

Learn the difference between copying, instancing, and referencing objects, and understand how each option affects the modifier stack.

Connect

Learn how to use the Connect tool to add new edge loops to your model, control the number and spacing of connections, and create cleaner geometry.

Smoothing

Learn how to add smoothing to a mesh, preview the result, and control how edges sharpen or soften to achieve the surface look you want.

Extrude

Learn how to use the Extrude tool to pull faces out of a mesh, control the amount and direction of extrusion, and shape geometry efficiently.

Welding

Learn how to weld vertices to clean up geometry, control weld thresholds, and fix stray or duplicated points for a neater, more usable mesh.

Bridge

Learn how to use the Bridge tool to connect two polygon selections, control the way the geometry forms between them, and quickly fill gaps.

Chamfer

Learn how to use the Chamfer tool to bevel edges, adjust the number of segments, and choose between different chamfer types for additional control.

Boolean

Learn how to use Boolean operations to cut, subtract, or combine objects, along with tips for avoiding common issues and keeping your geometry clean.

Splines

Learn the basics of working with splines, including creating and editing line shapes, and switching viewports for accuracy.

Challenge Yourself

Challenges allow you to apply your newly acquired knowledge and keep a record of your learning journey.
