2 Apples 3D

Here are two apples that helped me understand the concept of extruding a shape to give it a life like texture. First of all I created a sphere which was going to be the basis of the apple. The first modification to do was to give the apple a dip in the top, this was achieved by extruding the sphere. When you extrude a shape you are manipulating and changing the surface and shape of the object. I extruded the top of the apple inwards to get the top to dip in. To extrude a shape you have to convert it to a 'poly' then this will enable you to see the faces and make them selectable. Once you have converted it to a poly you can then click on a face of the object and pull or push using the standard move tools. Without 'soft selection' activated it gives a very harsh adjustment to the shape so to get a soft looking adjustment you can select 'soft selection' which moves the chosen face and slightly moves the others that surround it to give a softer modification. I also extruded around the edges of the apple because an apple isn't exactly round, the last thing to do was to add stork of the apple which I just used a prism and put it at an angle. To create the second apple I cloned the first one and changes the extrusion along with changing the colour. The next thing we are about to make is a fruit bowl using the lathe technique.
