From block to rock
In this recipe, we will be examining a way to turn a standard square block and sculpt it into a low-poly styled rock. Just as we cut a hole through the block by unioning a negated part to a normal part in the Carving out Holes recipe, we will use the same method to shave chunks off the block until we are satisfied with the look of our stone.
How to do it…
We will begin by creating a large generic base shape for our rock. We will then position several negated parts, rotated at various degrees and angles throughout the base rock part. We will then union the negated pieces with the original rock, giving us our low-poly look. To do this, follow these steps:
- Insert a part, preferably a square one, into the Workspace. This will be the rock base shape.
- Rescale the part to make it into your desired shape. For this example, I am creating a tall rock with a size of

studs. Remember that the inserted part can easily be rescaled later,...
