clothing for now; you need to concentrate on getting the fundamental mesh completed and
to a stage where you are happy with it. The one fundamental part remaining is the chest, so
let's add this now.
To simplify things, remove the mirrored instance you created earlier; just select it and de-
lete it.
1. Create a sphere, opening up the options for Create > Polygon Primitives > Sphere
( Figure 2.80 ) . Set Subdivisions Around Axis to 8 and Subdivisions Along Height
to 6 .

2. In the front view, position and scale the sphere until it covers her left breast. Do the
same in the side view. In addition, rotate the sphere around its X axis by 90 de-
grees, and 20 degrees around its Y axis; you want the tip of the sphere pointing
forward and slightly to the right ( Figure 2.81 ) . We do this so the sphere is pointing
as a real breast would, with the nipple pointing outward slightly and not straight
ahead.
