- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to use generators to modify objects. So let's just focus on the objects that we're going to be working with. And the first one is going to be this pyramid. So I'm just going to disable everything else, and we'll hide that bend deformer with the pyramid. I'm going to use an atom array. The atom array creates an atomic lattice structure from each of it's child objects. So what does that mean? Looking at the icon, all the object edges are replaced with cylinders and all points are replaced with spheres. So with the pyramid selected, if we hold down alt or option and then click on the atom array icon, the atom array will be placed into the object hierarchy above the pyramid, with the pyramid automatically becoming the child of the atom array. So on the atom array, we can adjust the cylinder radius and the sphere radius. I'm going to reduce the sphere to two centimeters just like…
