making holes

hello’ i am trying yo do some bowling ball, and i don’t know how to make holes in the uv sphere in the right shape… can you help me?

tri the boolean operator
it should work

you can also do it by hand - you can use the rip V KEy to open the mesh then you add
edges till you get the shape you want

or you can use retopo tool to lay down a circle from which you can add this mesh to the spere mesh and then keep working on it till you get the final result

thx, i didn’t know about the boolean but i looked a tutorial and i did the ball.

there is a tutorial somewhere in wiki for a golf ball with little holes and also in the book there is an example of a dice with these 1/2 sphere hole
and if youmake a search in forum there are several good threads on holes
