Day 19 - Balloon Revisited

This took a while to create.

First, I tried to have separate cubes for each layer, scaled on XY axis and then joined all. But we want this to be hollow in the middle. So I tried duplicating and scaling duplicate to smaller size, applying boolean modifier. Result was not good.

I tried creating from single shape by starting bottom:

• Extrude for each layer

• Press E

• Right click

• Scale on XY axis

• Repeat until complete

Then I tried boolean, it wasn’t a success.

Then I tried what all tutorials do, using mirror modifier.

• Create vertex

• Extrude to create faces

• Follow the shape of the extruded balloon

Result is something like this:

Then you add mirror and solidify (need some thickness) with following settings.

I also couldn’t figure out how to have a single shape for bottom and up so they are two separate objects :D

Have a happy weekend!
