Deformers...Finished

Here are 7 images from a lesson that involves deforming a group of cubes. The 6 different deformers include Bend, Flare, Sine, Squash, Twist, and Wave. As one, they can do a bunch, but when you put some together and add in some numbers, you can do a whole lot more.

Rendering the Apple...Finished

This is a snapshot of one of the mini lessons we did. There is also a video showing the apple (un-rendered) from different angles. In the lesson we had to color, smooth out, and render the apple. The left side is the apple before it was rendered and the right was the apple after it was rendered. Pretty yummy, huh?
