 Learning objectives
At the end of this topic, you will be able to:

 Use lathe modifier into an object.

 Use extrude modifier into an object.
 Use modifier stack and collapsible.
 Modify an object into another object (Polygonal to mesh).
 Apply smooth and turbo smooth modifier into the object
being created.
 Tutorial
Date: 11 August 2008

 Modeling dustbin (2D shapes into 3D object) using lathe

modifiers. (30 minutes)
 Exercise (Modeling a glass using (2D shapes into 3D object)
using lathe modifiers. (30 minutes)
 Exercise (Modeling chess set (2D shapes into 3D object)
using lathe modifiers. (50 minutes)
- A Pawn, a Bishop and a Rook.
 Extrude modifier

 Create 2D shape > select the shape > modify > modifier list
> extrude > change amount value in paramater.
 Modifier Stack and
Collapsible
 Modifier stack is a list of the different modifiers applied to an
object.

 The list of modifiers is reffered to as the Modifier Stack of

Modifier Collapsible.
Modifier Stack and
Collapsible
 Modifier Stack Option
 Active / Inactive
 Turns off the current modifier without deleting it.

 Show end results

 Shows the effect of the entire stack on the selected object.

 Remove modifier
 Deletes the current modifier from the stack
