This is an experimental tutorial. As I have never been happy with the format of the soccer ball tutorial, I have been experimenting with other formats. This is an attempt at a tutorial using an HTML format. Comments, suggestions, and questions about this material are most welcome.
The following tutorial assumes that the reader has the 2D proficiency necessary to draw closed profiles and is familiar with these 3D tools: 3D Box, Normal Extrude, 3D Intersect, Imprint, and Facet Editor. An understanding of the Mirror Copy tool is also needed.
