Hey guys, and welcome back to the low poly 3d Mini planet tutorial. So in the last tutorial, we created a two spheres, one Earth sphere and one water sphere, one which was smaller than the other. And in this lesson, we're going to go through how to create the river for our planet. So to do this, we'll begin by going back into us perspective view. And to do that, we need to hover over the perspective of the view that we want. And then just simply click on the mouse, the middle mouse button again to bring that back up.

Excellent. Now, what I want to do is I want to go over to this button here, the live selection tool, click on that. And then we're going to go over to the polygon tool, which is on the left side of the screen and click on that. What this does is if I select on the span which is the one that we wants to, to manipulate is it sort of gives us a tool to select the polygons with and we're going to use this tool to create a river. Okay, so let's go around the sphere and I'm going to select certain polygons. Let's start with this one.

And all you need to do is click hold and drag the polygons to create a river. And then if you want to continue the river, just hold shift and then continue. Hold Shift to click and drag again. I want to create an interesting shape for the river. If he wants to delete selections, just hold Alt and click, whoops, not alt, hold CTRL and click Delete what you've created. It's a bit too tight.

So I'm just going around the cube, not the cube, the sphere here. And then just sort of selecting what I think is the most interesting path. For our, our low poly, a low poly planet is going around and seeing what is the most interesting sort of winding river that we can create Then just connecting it, like so. Alright, so that is the path for our low poly, low poly low poly bridge River. This is a little bit too random, I think. So I'm just going to delete some whoops, delete some selections here.

And then connected here like that. And then I'm just going to circle around our planet to see what's the most interesting view that we can get or our our low poly planet. So once you're happy with your selection all you need to do from here is to right click On the on the path that you've created. And you're going to go down here and look for the extrude tool. Okay, so we're going to click on the extrude tool, making sure that we still call path selected here, we're going to left click and drag to the left. And you can see what that does is it brings our selection inside itself to reveal the water or the water sphere underneath.

Okay, so once you're happy with that, let go left of the left mouse button. And you can see that actually the sphere inside our Earth sphere is a little bit too, is a little bit too far further down for my liking. So I'm going to select the water sphere again. Let's go that making sure that the whole model is selected. So not just the polygons on the whole model selected, I'm going to go over to the Scale tool. And once again, making sure that none of these nodes are selected.

I'm going to scale the waters fit up a little bit more. Like I said, it doesn't look too deep. Alright, so now that we've got the water showing, we'll hop on over to the next lesson where we'll go and learn how to create mountains and landscapes for our Earth sphere. See you guys there.
