I know I’ve done this before, but I can’t remember just what terms or words to search for to remind me what tools I used.
I want to alter an existing mesh. For instance, say I have a sphere. I want to be able to make a dent in it and have control over the shape of the dent (and I don’t mean just making a shape and using a boolean modifier). I also want to be able to “pull” parts of the shape out. For instance, maybe make one side of the sphere protrude some so it’s lopsided.
I haven’t done this in a good while, but I remember there’s a tool or way to do it. I just can’t remember the right terms so I could do a search to find something to remind me how to do it!
I woke up and the word “deform” popped into my head, so I looked it up and realized that, while I’ve used it, that’s not what I was thinking of at this point. (For the shape I’m working on, it’d be a pain to make a cage to use for that.)
But, yes, now that I see it here, I remember it - proportional editing!
It’s very frustrating and this happens at times, when I just cannot think of the word I need!
Of to do what I wanted to do on this project now that I have the right term for what I wanted!
