The Build modifier in Blender is another of those, “well this is good, but whatever can I do with it?” modifiers. It’s just not great on it’s own. Add in an edge split, displace and some other guff then woohoo, you’ve got MGFX heaven.
But once you understand how it works, you can see the possibilities of what you can achieve with it without needing another modifier at all.
Take a look at the video below. Better still, subscribe to the channel and you’ll see a new one of these every week. Sometimes a “One by One” where we talk about what each part of blender does – at the moment we are concentrating on modifiers – other times tutorials on specific things or quick tips to make your life easier.
You want to see something not here? Then let me know in the comments. I’m always keen to help out where I can.
Take care and stay safe.
