Part III: Modeling Basics

Shapes and Solve Surface
The Shapes tool lets you draw polygonal shapes directly on the surface of an object. Figure 14.22 shows
three polygons drawn on the surface of a torus. You also can delete drawn polygons with the Ctrl key. The
completed polygons likely will have multiple vertices, but you can reduce the polygons to tris and quads
using the Solve Surface button.

FIGURE 14.21
The PolyDraw tools let you work quickly to add, remove, and rebuild polygons.

FIGURE 14.22
Using the Shapes tool, you can draw polygons that conform to the surface of the underlying object.
