This chapter is mainly about creating a 3D model, which does not contain all the fully detailed features such as bottle-cap threads or a hollow bottle. We will learn more about creating parametrics and using those parametrics to manipulate the shape of the bottle body.
We will learn how to model a bottle from the dimensions ...
