Exercise 8.3 Bunches of Fun with the Clone and Magic Bevel Tools
1. Save anything you??™ve been working on, and from the File drop-down menu, select
New Object.
You might have noticed that you??™re not building with layers in these projects. You
could if you wanted to??”create the banana in one layer, the orange in another, and the
grapes in a third layer. But instead, you??™re building entirely new objects. This is good
because these objects can be used to build your 3D library, as they are saved as individual
objects. It also helps save any confusion as to what you??™re working on, and for
this project, you??™ll use multiple layers to help the modeling process.Having multiple
objects in different layers might make your life difficult with the upcoming steps.
2. On the Create tab, select the Ball tool. Create a ball the same size as you did in the
previous project (when you created the orange). Press F2 to center the ball. Figure
8.39 shows the ball.
Figure 8.39 Begin creating grapes by making a simple ball.

slightly to elongate the ball.
