…When you start out modeling with the live generator,…there are some common traps that you can fall into.…In this video we'll look at some of those issues and how best to solve them.…Here is our Bowl model and it's really, sort of the goal that we're shooting for.…I'm going into Garage Shading mode.…Everything looks nice and smooth. There are no issues.…These next objects are a horror show of common lathe problems.…We're going to go over how to address them.…The second object that I see here has what I like to call puckering.…
Which is that, at the base, there seems to be an indentation of some sort.…Even though it closes nice and neatly.…To fix this sort of puckering, what I like to…do is go into my front view, and let's frame up…this object by selecting the object and then just tapping…the O key on our keyboard And, I'm going to turn off…my lathe for a second Instead of my lathe, I'm going to see my bowl profile spline.…And I can already get a sense of what the issue is here.…If I go into Points mode, I see that my very first point the one that's connecting…
