Build a Simple Snowman

Let's practice by building a simple snowman from spheres!

Tasks

  1. Add three spheres to the scene
  2. Position them stacked vertically:
- Bottom: Large sphere at Y=0.5 - Middle: Medium sphere at Y=1.3 - Top: Small sphere at Y=2.0
  1. Scale each sphere appropriately:
- Bottom: Scale 1.0 (largest) - Middle: Scale 0.7 - Top: Scale 0.5 (smallest)

How to Scale

  1. Select a sphere
  2. Press S or use Scale tool
  3. Drag to resize, or type values in Properties

Tips

  • Use the Properties panel for exact positions
  • Enable snap for easier positioning
  • Name your spheres (Body_Bottom, Body_Middle, Head)

Success Criteria

✓ At least 3 objects in the scene
✓ All objects above the grid

Bonus: Add a cylinder for a top hat!
