      Hi there,

      I was wondering if there's a quick and easy way to draw an organic form or volume? I'd like to construct something like a blob. Is this possible for a beginner or do I have to be an uber pro to do this?

      Thanks!
      george

        Hi,

        Welcome to SCF, as for your question on 'Drawing Organic Forms/Volumes' it depends on your 'Blob' complexity. Is your 'Blob' something regular shaped like this...

        Or more irregular like this..

        It's definitely possible at beginner level to achieve a simple 'Blob'. Maybe post a picture, it sounds like a fun challenge!

                I was thinking the same Pilou but as he is a beginner with SU maybe understanding the native tools is neccessary before jumping into the weird and wonderful world of plugins!
