Plasticity 103 – Watch Modeling PT3 – Rounding / Filleting / Export

This is the 3rd part of our Plasticity series and this video is packed to the brim. It basically contains three separate tutorials: 1 Fixing some mistakes, 2 Rounding / Beveling / Filleting our model, and then finally exporting it to a mesh format to then import into our beloved 3D software as e.g. Cinema 4D or Blender. As always I hope you have fun watching and learn something along the way!
