Note
If you wanted to have all the letters
the same thickness and not get
thicker toward the center of the
logo, as is the case in Figure 3-82,
you could jump back to where
things were at Figure 3-81. Instead
of doing a Boolean, do a
Solid
Drill | Core
, then
Extrude
the
results, and resurface the sides of
the letters to their original surface.
You'd then have something like
Figure 3-83.

Bevel and Smooth Shift
Bevel and Smooth Shift are two of the most
frequently used modeling tools. They do
almost the same thing, except Bevel affects
every polygon individually
, while Smooth
Shift treats all contiguous selections as a
single unit
.

Dragging

“pushes”
the polys out from

makes the polys
smaller.
