Creating and Editing Objects

Note: I previously stated that we were discussing meshes. An object in Blender is a mesh object. Th ink of a sphere made out of chicken wire or fi shing net and you get the idea. A sphere in Blender has a mesh with vertical and horizontal divisions called segments and rings: vertical segments like the inside of an orange and horizontal rings (Figure 3.1). Th e default UV sphere has 32 segments and 32 rings. You can change these by altering the values in the panel at the bottom of the tool shelf, which displays when you add the sphere to the scene. You can keep it at 32.
