So “Solidify” and then “Subdivision” Video 4 : A drippy icing ¶ To remove the edge of the side of the icing, we swap the order of the modifiers. Then we adjust the offset to make solidify from the top side rather than bottom side and we adjust the thickness to something reasonable like 2 mm. To add thickness to the icing we use another modifier, “Solidify”. We can modify the “Clip Start” to modify what is cut when we zoom in. Then we adjust the view parameters using N to access properties or the little arrow next to it. Then we separate it using “P” and “selection” and we get a new object.īy the way to select contiguous vertices, I can use Ctrl+L to select them and avoid mistakes. Then we want to duplicate the top part with Shift + D.Īgain, using escape or right click we can cancel all movements after the duplication to keep it in place. The next problem is that we don’t select the through the surface, for that we need the X-ray mode. * the coordinate system in the top right, We want to select the top half of our donut. That does not make it flat, you don’t really improve the resolution, for that we need modifiers. To make it look smooth, in object mode, we can right click and go for “Shade Smooth”. We want to make it imperfect so here we go. With it you can move the points and change the influence on the other points using the roll on the mouse. Then we went in edit mode to change the perfection of the torus into a donut, to make it real. We wanted squares for the facets because it will facilitate the manipulation later. If you do anything else after adding the shape, this menu disappears and you cannot get access to it anymore, so do it directly after adding it. You can change the properties of the object you add only directly after adding it, by clicking the “Add Torus” button in the lower left corner. We added a torus and changed its properties directly.
