ABSTRACT
Next we will add the fi nal details to the top of the barrel. First, let’s extrude the center polygons to create the dip in the top of the barrel; then, we’ll create a simple handle form.
Press P to jump into the Perspective window, then Z (Zoom Extents) so that you can see what you’re doing. Buttons like Zoom Extents (Z) have a small triangle in the corner to show that they have multiple options. Left-click and hold on the triangle and the various options will be made available. In this case, there are two options: Zoom Extents and Zoom Extents Selected. I usually prefer Zoom Extents Selected, as it zooms into the selected part of the model only, usually making it easier to work. Have a look at all the other buttons and get familiar with what they do-getting up to speed with these early will save you a lot of time.
