Modeling Foundation Level 2

  • The Basics of Object Manipulation

    This badge goes deeper into working with objects, covering parenting, duplicating, and extruding, as well as manipulating vertices, edges, and faces in edit mode. It also includes coloring objects, and takes a closer look at creating models, navigating the interface, and applying materials.
