Blender Tutorial: Making a Heart





For my tutorial, I chose to use the program Blender. Blender is a 3D program used for several different things, such as animations, rendering, modeling, and much more. I chose to follow a tutorial on how to make a heart. While it was a beginner tutorial, I am still pretty sketchy on how to use blender- so it took me a long time to follow. First, I started with a NURBS sphere. I deselected all the vertices on the sphere, until I was left with only three vertices. I then moved the three remaining vertices downward, creating a bump in the sphere. After this step, I just had to keep scaling my object until I was satisfied with the shape. I had to make sure to keep turning my object, to make sure that the parts I could not see, were still fitting along with my shape.

I am really starting to like blender, and I hope that I can keep improving. I just have to find the time to practice with it!
