Making of Magnifying Love by Paco Morales, Mexico


Modeling

First, we will model several parts using the lathe modifier. We can use the image supplied below as a reference. We should not close the shapes. Or in other words, we must leave the shapes open. The reason for this is that when you apply the lathe modifier, it will weld the shape's open opposite ends.

• Magnify glass
• First support (join to the Base)
• Ring support
• Clip support
• Arm support
• Arms

Note: By increasing the steps of your silhouette you obtain a smoother surface, but the extra geometry can potentially increase render times and memory requirements. So be careful not to overdo the increase in steps!
