Reply To: Sundaram’s Blender Progress

Last exercise of @jlampel’s  Fundamentals of 3D Mesh Modeling in Blender course: idea is to model any room that one fancies.  I got excited by the idea of modelling an old Indian kitchen with utensils I’ve seen in my childhood.  I’ve seen many of these replaced by their modern counterparts the past 2 decades. I hope it’ll make an interesting scene too.

This is an idli mold. I screwed up on the topology of the plate! I simply created a circle and positioned 5 circles inside them and manually connected them vertices making faces — I’m sure there’s a better way avoiding all the labour-intensive work. Grid filled the inner circles, sub-divided and proportionally edited to get the pits. Further topology screw-up for the steam holes: every hole was made by sub-diving a face twice, deleting the faces and To Sphere-ing the vertices.

Gosh! Someone please tell me the right way! Thank you 🙂
