3D Designing a Simple Pillow in SelfCAD

In this tutorial article, we are going to 3D design a pillow. The 3D modeling software that we are using is SelfCAD. With SelfCAD, you can undoubtedly make 3D models without using a huge load of energy learning, and you can create both fundamental and complex designs without taking a lot of time. The tools of SelfCAD that we will use are the 3D Shapes, Vertex Selection, Move tool, Scale Tool, etc. 

We will begin by 3D designing a cube and changing it. Just by sorting out how to 3D design a pillow, you will, in like manner, get to know how to use the various tools of SelfCAD. Let's Start!

Step1:Inserting and setting a cube (the base)

We are going to create the base of the object. First, we will insert a cube in the working interface. Set the width 58, height 11, depth 47, width segment 4, height segment 2, and depth segment 4. 

Step2: Scaling the inner vertices of the larger faces of the 3D Design

Next, we will use the mesh+wireframe option and select vertex editing. 

We can change it into the top view. Then, we will select all the vertices of the 3D design except those placed on the outer edges. 

Then again, we will change it into the bottom view and repeat the same process that we just did now. We can use the scale tool to scale all these selected vertices of the 3D design. Then from the center point, we will move the top face upward and bottom face down along the green axis. 

Step3: Scaling the vertices of the smaller faces

Then we will select all the vertices of the smaller face, excluding the corner vertices as shown in the 3d design below.

Now, we will use the scale command and move the face inward along the red as well as the blue axis.

 Then again, select all the vertices of the side face, including the corner vertices.

 Next we will scale all those points along the green axis and try to make those more compact.

Step4: Using vertex editing option to add minute details

 Next, we will select all the mid vertices except the center one of the top and bottom faces of the 3D design.

 Use the move tool and move the 3d design slightly inward.

 Then uncheck the vertex editing option.

Step5: Adding smoothness to the 3D model

 Now we will add smoothness to the 3D design. For that, we will go to modify and click on the round object tool. We will set the smoothness into 4. 

Then we will select the mesh cube for further modeling.

Step6: Sculpting the 3D design for more perfection

 Next, click on the object and go to sculpting. Then we will use the option called standard brush and set the size to 5. Now we can sculpt by dragging the cursor on the parts (basically on the face of the pillow).

 So our simple 3D pillow is ready!

Conclusion 

3D designing in SelfCAD is easier as we have seen above. We have 3D designed with various components and tools of SelfCAD. It is entertaining to 3D design an object that may be simple, huge, or complex. Likewise, you can use a comparable method to 3D design other 3D objects of your wish. Along these lines, we trust you observe the informative activities edifying and supportive. Let us know your reviews in the comment section below!
