Autodesk ALIAS 2010 - Part 1: Creating Primary Surfaces

Part 1: Creating Primary Surfaces
In this section, you will use the Square, Skin, and Align tools to create the
basic shape of the shower gel bottle.
You will build the front half of the bottle, which will later be mirrored to
complete the design. You will create a smooth connection between both halves
by controlling the implied tangent continuity across the center line.
When you create the shoulder surface, you will blend it smoothly to the main
bottle surface using tangent continuity.
Watch Part 1 of the tutorial.
