BLENDER MODELING TUTORIAL CHARCOAL GRILL ================================================== Big Ideas: 1) Modeling from the blueprint 2) Simple curve modeling 3) See simple primitives inside each part 4) Looking at reference photos for clarification 5 New Modifiers: 1) Mirror + clipping (bilateral symmetry editing) 2) Subdivision Surface (make things curvy) 3) Solidify (Surface to 3D) 4) Skin (Line to 3D) 5) Array object offset around Plain Axis (radial pattern) New Hotkeys: General Editing: -Shift + Z to toggle wireframe -Alt + Click to select all loop or face -H to hide -Alt + H to unhide everything Form Building: -E to extrude -Ctrl + Right Click to Auto Extrude -Shift + E (edge crease to sharpen edge) -G + G to edge slide Topology: -F to fill the face -M to merge vertices by distance -K to add vertices or lines via cut -I to inset new face ======================== Charcoal Grill Steps: ======================== 1) Download blueprint & reference photos 2) make grill lid with cylinder 3) use grill lid to calibrate other blueprint views 4) make grill body by duplicating lid 5) make an ashtray by duplicating body 6) make handles by extruding cube 7) make a metal frame by adding skin to line 8) make wheel by flattening the cylinder
