This is a two-part tutorial, where we learn about a powerful modifier called Displace. This modifier creates a magnetic force that pulls the vertices, allowing us to achieve interesting topologies. We can use the Giamo only to drive the pulling force as we will see in this 1rst part, or we can map a bitmap, or a procedural map onto the Gizom to control the strength of each pulling force coming out from this Gizom. Throughout these two videos, we will learn about the main parameters of this modifier.

In this tutorial, for total beginners, we will learn how to apply multiple materials to the same object, and starting from minute: 3:47 We will add a texture map for each of those materials, then, we will learn how to apply multiple UVW Maps modifiers to the object and have each one of them control a specific texture from those sub-materials.

In this 5th video, we'll learn about Editable Poly object, its sub-objects elements, explaining some of their main tools, what they do and how they work. After, we create our first 3D model, which is a simple drawer with shelves and 4 legs. During the video, you will hear many additional, and useful tips that will make your workflow easier.

In this 8th video of the total beginners series, we will start learning about 2D shapes. We will learn about the sub-object levels that the 2D shapes are made of. Also, we will learn about two features to manipulate the 2D shapes: Break and Weld. In addition, we will see what it means to have an Opened or Closed 2D shapes, and why it's important to learn that.
