Modeling a Bottle 2008-04-23 09:51:40 In today’s video we draw a blow-molded style plastic bottle. We use a revolve to create the body of the bottle and shell it hollow. A thread is then swept along a helical path and finished with attractive filleting. A few other tricks and tips are explored along the way.
