Make a twisted vase

Steps

1. Click New Project on the start screen. On the viewport's start card, click Add a shape and pick Cylinder.

   

2. The card on the right holds the cylinder's settings. Click Around, type 6 and press Enter for six flat sides. Click Along, type 24 and press Enter, so the sides have room to bend smoothly.

   

3. Drag in the empty space around it to see the top. Click Faces, the filled square among the small pick buttons near the top left of the viewport, then click the top. Open Shape and choose Inset region.

   

4. The card now shows the inset. Set Thickness to 0.06 for a thin rim, then set Depth to -0.85. The middle of the top sinks deep into the vase.

   

5. Click Object, the first pick button, so the next tools work on the whole vase. Open Deform, choose Taper... and, on the card, type 0.3 beside Taper and press Enter. The top pulls in.

   

   

6. Open Deform again, choose Twist... and type 120 beside Twist and press Enter. The six sides wind around the vase a third of a turn.

   

7. Open Surface > Material > New PBR material. Then, in the Objects panel under Materials, click Cylinder 1 material, and in Properties set the hex box beside Base color to #4A7FD0. Turn the view to admire it, and save with File > Save.
