I've got an example layer here that shows the objects that we'll be creating. Now you can skip ahead and look if you like, but for now I'm going to start off in this empty layer and do everything step-by-step. So, the object that I'm imagining is maybe some sort of a vessel, maybe like a tea kettle or a vase that we could have 3D printed. And, I'm not going to be too precise here. I'm just going to keep it loose and have fun with the modeling process. So let's start off doing some free-form curves. So under the Curve menu, I'll go to Free-Form, Control Points. And I've got my grid snap on. So I'm going to double-click to maximize the top viewport. Just to get a little bit more room to work…
