3.25 Modifiers
Mesh objects can have their shape modified by using Blender's modi-
iers . Modifiers are accessed from the properties window on the RH
side of the screen. With the object selected in the 3D window, go
to the properties window - “Object Modifiers” button and click on
“Add Modifier” to display the modifier selection menu (Figure 3.34).
A modifier may be selected from the menu to change the shape of
an object. As you can see, there are a number of modifiers to choose
from. At this stage we will demonstrate a few; for more on modifiers, see Chapter 12.
