      Hello everyone,
      I need some help to create a ball.
      Also, I am trying to make people. I probably could do most of it, I just have a problem creating a ball (head, and hair).
      Does anyone have any idea.
      Thanks!

      John D. Champion

        Firstly: create a base shape, see image 01 below.

        Secondly: use Subdivide and Smooth on the base shape, two iterations should do nicely, see image 02.

        Thirdly: et voila! See image 03.

        After the above you could use Joint Push Pull (JPP) or the scale tool to get it to the size you want.

            Can you not use the standard sphere shape that comes with SU in the component library under the 'shapes' subfolder?

            If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                There are many ways to create spheres these days as already demonstrated, but as solo mentions above, why not keep things simple and quick and use the ones which are provided for you in Components/Shapes.
