The Add UV Sphere creates a spherical mesh made of latitude and longitude segments. It is the starting point for organic modeling, characters, and round objects.
Where to Find It
Press Shift+A > Mesh > UV Sphere.
How to Use
- Add: Press Shift+A, choose Mesh, then UV Sphere.
- Segments: In the Operator panel, set Segments (horizontal) and Rings (vertical).
- Default: 32 segments and 16 rings provide a smooth sphere.
Pro Tips
- Use fewer segments (12-16) for low-poly style, more (48-64) for smooth organic models.
- The Ico Sphere option creates a sphere from triangles for a different topology flow.
