LESSON 5

Basic Modeling

Extrusions, loop cuts, and your first building

  • Use Loop Cut to add edge loops and control mesh density
  • Use Extrude to push faces and create volume from a flat plane
  • Apply the Subdivision Surface modifier with intent
  • Use Inset Faces to create recessed panels
  • Model a simple low-poly house
STEP 01 / 02

Lesson setup

By now you have pushed and pulled a cube around in Edit Mode. This is where that practice starts to pay off. You are going to model a simple house using Loop Cut, Extrude, and a little bit of cleanup discipline.
LESSON 5 HOMEWORK

A render of a finished low-poly house from a clean three-quarter angle. Include four walls, a roof, one window inset, and a door opening. Plain gray material is fine.
