	</P

>&#13;		1. Select Gus. Then, in the Button Window header, select the Shading Context by
		pressing the red dot button (<A
HREF="x1603.html#BSG.QIK.F.S68.031"

>LMB</B
> on the layer 1
		button (<A
HREF="x1603.html#BSG.QIK.F.S68.040"

		2. Place the cursor at the center of Gus's head. (Remember that you
		are in 3D so be sure to check at least two views
		to be sure!)
	</P
><P
>&#13;		3. Add a sphere
		(<B
CLASS="keycap"
>SPACE</B
>&#62;&#62;ADD&#62;&#62;Mesh&#62;&#62;UVsphere). 
		You will be asked for the number of <TT
CLASS="literal"
>Segments:</TT
>
		(meridians) and <TT
CLASS="literal"
>Rings:</TT
> (parallels)
		into which to divide the sphere. The default of 32 is
		more than we need here, so use a value of 16 for both.
		The sphere is in the first image at the top left of the sequence in
		<A
HREF="x1603.html#BSG.QIK.F.S68.041"
>Figure 41</A
>.
	</P
><P
>&#13;		4. Scale the sphere down (<B
CLASS="keycap"
>SKEY</B
>) to a factor 0.1
		in all dimensions, then switch to side view
		(<B
CLASS="keycap"
>NUM3</B
>) and scale it only in the horizontal 
		direction (<B
CLASS="keycap"
>YKEY</B
>)
		a further 0.5 (see the second two images in <A
HREF="x1603.html#BSG.QIK.F.S68.041"
>Figure 41</A
>).

></DIV
><P
><B
>Figure 41. Sequence for creation of the eyes.</B
></P
></DIV
><P
>&#13;		5. Zoom a little if necessary via <B
CLASS="keycap"
>NUM+</B
>,
		<B
CLASS="keycap"
>MW</B
>, or <B
CLASS="keycap"
>CTRL-MMB</B
>, and drag 
		the sphere
		(<B
CLASS="keycap"
>GKEY</B
>) to the
		left so that it is halfway into the head
		(as shown in the first image in the second row of <A
HREF="x1603.html#BSG.QIK.F.S68.041"
>Figure 41</A
>).
	</P
><P
>&#13;		6. Return to front view (<B
CLASS="keycap"
>NUM1</B
>) and move the
		sphere sideways, to the right. Place it where Gus should have an 
		eye.
	</P
><P
>&#13;		7. Flip a duplicate around the cursor by following
		the sequence you learned when flipping Gus's body.
		(Select the crosshair toolbar button, in EditMode
		<B
CLASS="keycap"
>AKEY</B
> to select all, 
		<B
CLASS="keycap"
>SHIFT-D</B
>, <B
CLASS="keycap"
>ESC</B
> <B
CLASS="keycap"
>MKEY</B
>,
		<TT
CLASS="literal"
>Global X</TT
> Menu entry.)
		Now Gus has two eyes.
	</P
><P
>&#13;		8. Exit EditMode (<B
CLASS="keycap"
>TAB</B
>), and place the cursor as close as you
		can to the center of Gus's face. Add a new sphere and scale and move
		it exactly as before, but make it smaller and place it
		lower than and to the right of the cursor, centerd on the
		SubSurfed mesh vertex <A
HREF="x1603.html#BSG.QIK.F.S68.042"
>Figure 42</A
>).
	</P
><DIV
CLASS="figure"
><A

></A
><DIV
CLASS="mediaobject"
><P

></DIV
><P
><B
>Figure 42. Creating a mouth with Spinning tools.</B
></P
></DIV
><P
>&#13;		9. Now, in the Edit Buttons (<B
CLASS="keycap"
>F9</B
>), locate
		the group of buttons at bottom in the <TT
CLASS="literal"
>Mesh Tools</TT
>
		Panel (<A
HREF="x1603.html#BSG.QIK.F.S68.043"
>Figure 43</A
>). Set
		<TT
CLASS="literal"
>Degr:</TT
> to 90, <TT
CLASS="literal"
>Steps:</TT
>
		to 3, and verify that the <TT
CLASS="literal"
>Clockwise:</TT
>
		TogButton is on. Then, with all vertices still selected,
		press <TT
CLASS="literal"
>SpinDup</TT
>.
		This will create three duplicates of the selected vertices
		on an arc of 90 degrees, centered around the cursor.
		The result should be Gus's mouth, like the last image of
		the sequence shown in <A
HREF="x1603.html#BSG.QIK.F.S68.042"
>Figure 42</A
>.

><P
>&#13;		Now that you have learned the trick, add three more of
		these ellipsoids to form Gus's buttons. Once you have made
		one button, you can simply exit EditMode, press
		<B
CLASS="keycap"
>SHIFT-D</B
> to create a duplicate, and move the 
		duplicat into
