Creating a spiral Christmas tree design, Part 1: modeling

Christopher Tyler Oct, 23rd 2016 2 Comments
This tutorial shows how to create a spiral Christmas type tree using the lathe tool. It specifically shows how to adjust the lathe parameters to get the required shape, and how to properly convert the resulting object into a polygon format. The polygon format will be used to create a subdivision surface object, and will also be UV mapped in the second tutorial.
