I was asked to model a lobster in Tinkercad to show how to model organic shapes. Enjoy!
Be warned, this video is pretty long. I won't be upset if you can't last the whole time.

No you didn't go too fast. That was pretty good. I've been using the basic tools and using the drawing tool to shape objects and cutouts. I didn't know what the extrusion tool was. Thanks and keep making more tutorials, it gives us new ideas with the same tools we didn't think of.
a Big thank you! This has opened up a world for my students and I.
Absolutely! If you'd like to ask your students for what they'd like to see modeled, I'd be more than happy to make a video for them. Either tweet me: atGeoffShorts, or email me: geoff.shortsATcuglabs.com
Wow - I had no idea that this was possible in Tinkercad!! I learned a lot and enjoyed your style. Thank you so much!!!
When I found out about it, it completely changed my attitude about Tinkercad. Nothing's impossible. Anything can be modeled. Now it's just a big puzzle trying to figure how to do it.
Thanks so much for the kind words.
cho ass up
Pretty cool. I'm just beginning and am amazed how easy the program is and how you can create things so quickly and easily for 3d printing. The organic shapes is blowing me away. I now see how to take modeling to a whole new level. Thanks!
Great work! I've struggled with organic shapes in Tinkercad. I learned a lot!!
Thanks so much! Anything else you'd like to see??
This is great I have been working on a design for a game and I thought it needs a shape you can change and now I know it does.
Wow, thanks for sharing this. Like others I didn't realize you could do this in Tinkercad. I have been struggling with a curved rear vent for a helmet.
That was problably the most impressive build I have ever seen!. Never thought that was possible in Tinkercad.
Oh man..I never thought to use that extrusion tool. This was a big help!
Very nice to see the capabilities of the software. Was looking for exactly something like this. Very skilled modeler, fantastic job!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
My students loved modeling the lobster: the prize was 3D printing the coolest model and keep it in the class as out guide animal. Continue like this, your videos are great!
This helped alot! I was so used to using tinkercad for below basic modeling, and this is wonderful. Thank you!
Ive watched a bunch of timkercad vids and this is the first time ive heard of that extrusion piece. Thats great, thank you
Super clever, very inspirational, great vid thanks for sharing to expand my mind to keep the mindset that nothing is impossible. awesome work
That helps a lot! Did not know you could do that in tinkercad. Thank you very much😊
Wow, what amazing job!
I didn't know that Tinkercad cold do such kind of thing!
Congrats!
Done some carving in my day,everything you did makes perfect sense to me!
I'm astounded by this! I never knew that this was possible in tinkercad, it takes the tool to a level I didn't know was possible from a web app!
Isn't it awesome?? It completely changed my view of the program. So many more possibilities!
Spread the word!
This is amazing! I'm hoping you have ten million more videos like this, I'm going to look for them now.
great stuff bro!
I am a new bee in the world of 3D printing and all the apps and software connected to it. You have just opened up a great big door into this for me.
Thanks a million.
My pleasure. Thanks so much for the comment!
this is sooooooo helpful. i could not find any other videos to teach this. this is amazing. im subscribing now
Thanks Adam! Anything you'd like to see modeled?
I regret that I can only upvote this one time.
i have been looking for vids with these types of skills and thiss is the only one. thanks so much!!!
Great job! Blown away with what you can achieve with this simple software thank you.
Great tut. Opened up my eyes to some possibilities. Ty
TinkerCAD level up. Nicely done!
I've been looking for a small amount of time and this was the only good one I found on youtube.
Wowsers!! Just learnt so much. I knew I wasn’t using Tinkercad to its full on potential, thank you 🖖
Go get it! Flex those Tinkercad muscles
Wow I really didnt think it could do this, I have seen models make from tinkercad but I have not had any idea as to where to start to even be able to think that those could be created in tinkercad, I know the process is one of addition and subtraction and is visual based but I just had no idea where to start from to create these, Now I know. this will help me immensely Thank you so much.
What an excellent and instructional video. Cheers! Love it!
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Yes, the music matches everything about this video and that made this relaxing
Wow! VERY practical tips! Thank you very much for that!
Thank you for pointing me in the direction of this tool!
I just got a 3D printer, and I am trying to figure out what to do. This video helped a lot thanks :D
Like how you think. The is something I was wondering about. Thanks looking forward to seeing what else you can do in tinkercad
Nice work dude!
Thank you for posting this video. I just started playing around with Tinkercad didn't know how much more it could do. I'm really glad I watched your video to learn something new.
No problem at all! I hope you go crazy with it, you can do so much more than people realize.
What a great design
Love how your brain works! Thanks so much for this video!
Nice Video! Thanks for sharing our talents.
impressive!
Great work!
Thanks so much!
Good video.. nice clear explanations... 👍
The issues i have in tinkercad are, if i form a nice shape with a curve.. how do i sorften / bevel the edges.?
Thanks a lot!
That's one thing I haven't been able to accomplish yet in Tinkercad. While it's possible to soften/bevel straight edges, curves are much more difficult, if not impossible.
I'd love to see a "chamfer" or "fillet" option in Tinkercad.
If you haven't got too many to think about, you could just create some "tools" to do that. an inverse arch for example, then just keep duplicating that, and laying it over the corner you want to cut off, then SNIP (
This was a great video. I notice it's from two years ago and you haven't made anymore since. That's too bad it's really helped me visualize how to get somethings done on tinker ad.
nozaihaus stay tuned! I’ve had a ton going on and TH-cam videos unfortunately got pushed to the back burner. I’ll be back soon!
@@geoffshorts more tinker ad builds like this would be awesome!
Really great tutorial, thanks.
My class enjoyed it! We would like you to create a rollercoaster!! Thanks again.
Thanks a lot this will really help me in future designing
Thanks for your awesome tutorial!!!
thanks for making this video you are great, not enough people shows how to use tinkercad, we need to stand together, like many others i also use tinkercad, and make some how 2 do videos also
woowww great video, now i understand how i can design and play with the shapes and all, thanks
Well, this showed me a lot! Thanks for the tutorial.
You are very creative
wow a whole new world of possibilities thanks. Can you model some of the intricate mathematical shapes/designs in tinker cad.
now I can make so much more cool stuff! thanks a lot!
No problem! Go model your heart out.
Amazing Work!!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the video. Could you do one on creating an articulated shrimp?
Why didn't you make more videos?! After watching this I was really looking forward to seeing more tutorials. You did a great job and I learned a lot
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm definitely working on making new videos. Especially more geared toward 3D printing. But would you like more modeling videos of different objects?
this is super useful for a beginner like me thats completely new to 3d moddeling big thx
Excellent class, thanks for sharing your knowledge, I subscribed to your channel and I will follow your videos.
thx dude, appreciate that
Pretty cool
amazing!! thanks man!
Thanks man, that really helped me out!
you just blew my mind I did not know about extrusion shape
Ok THIS is EXACTLY the type of stuff I was looking for.
Learnt so much from this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Absolutely. I love teaching and sharing the wealth.
Game changer. Thank you.
No problem! Thanks for watching!
"As you can see here, I have no idea what I'm doing."
Lol okay 😜
Thanks for the great video. Can you explain the options on the Extrusion control? There are the square points that control the position and the round points that affect how the line intersects the position, correct? Is there any way to add more square points to allow more dynamic shapes to be created?
My pleasure. You've got it right, square controls position and the round points affect what's called the tangent line. Imagine that on each square point there was an imaginary circle and the line ran tangent to that circle. The longer the line, the bigger the circle, and the shorter the line the smaller the circle. That is how the line lengths affect that curve attached to that specific point.
Also, to my knowledge, there is no way to add more square points. The best tip I can give you is to bundle together a couple different extrusions to make your more dynamic shapes.
Thank you very much, this is very helpful for me and my mates. Can you post a video where you are modeling something from StarWars in Tinkercad?
You got it! It's been added to the list.
Muy bueno y simple al usar los objetos generadores .
Hey Geoff! This was fabulous to watch! May I challenge you to create a horse using Tinkercad :)
You got it! I horse will be a fun challenge. It's been added to the list!
dude youre a God
Amazing video dude and thanks a ton!! This is what I needed to do what I love:
Thanks so much for the kind words :)
very nice...welldone
amazing video friend
Thanks so much friend!
Great video, thanks,
Nice thanks for the video
Awesome ...as a 60 year old that has used Illustrator since it came out. This makes total since to me. Cad programs and my brain don't get along. Blender is great but damn the options are overwhelming. This i can do.

and then it becomes a masterpiece by having no idea what he is doing
FACCCTTSSSS
Challenge: Try creating abstract sculptures/models using irregular geometric shapes, those of which include: circles, ovals, squares, etc. If possible, I'd like you to use the extrusion tool as well. There's an abstract painting I find amusing, and if you were to recreate it, I'd certainly be impressed. I don't think it is possible given Tinkercad's own limitations, however. Either way, I'd like you to make the cover of the following album: Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 5).
can you make a dolphin, please? I really want to make that but I can't figure out where to start. Amazing tutorial by the way!
Start with a reference.
I got you. I'll be making a dolphin in an upcoming video for you.
Van you 3D print the stage of Tomorrowland (the festival) 2017?
Super bro..
Thank you - VERY cool!!!
OMG! You should not have shown me this you just let my creative cat out of the box. This is exactly what I needed to see this program do now I can put my graphic design skills to work.
Thank you for this I just needed to see what was possible now I'm going to do the impossible.
GO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE!! I believe in you.
holy cow this what I need for my mask model
Go make that mask!
I would have liked to see how that printed out
I want to see you make a Micro Machine semi trailer. 3 seperate parts. Without wheels
Instead of using tinker cad to create shapes for printing, can the same 3d models be converted for cnc routing?
Organic shapes bit hard good work
Hey Jeff quick question is it possible to add your own organic shapes to that file Library if so how
Hi! I work on Tinkercad and we want to show this lobster model you have and possibly link to your post/video. Is the model public in the Gallery? Would it be OK to promote?
Absolutely! I just made it public, just search for "Lobster" and it's by geoff.shorts.
Promote all you want. If you'd like a little more information, you can find my blog post about it here: www.cuglabs.com/projects-1/steve-the-lobster

Question: How can I make clothes? I am working on a 3D project of a character for D&D, I want to make clothes , but I don't know what to do. Same thing for hair.
Plus, Congrats on winning the competition even though I am soooo late to this.
I got you covered! I'm working through a long list of requests but you're on it!
Any particular clothes you're looking for? General shirts, pants, skirts? Tweet me pics if you want: atGeoffShorts
I’d love to make a cobra with its hood flared!
i love it so much i ts so wonder ful
Hi there, thank-you for the tutorial. Is the egg object still available in Tinkercad? I can't find it. Thanks for your help!
Yep I'm looking for the egg object too. I see it's under and extras menu but I don't have that in Tinkercad
I just checked and they changed the "category" it's in. In the shape dropdown menu look under TINKERCAD > Characters and it's about half way down. Hope this helps!
@@CUGLabs Thank-you, yes that is helpful. I see it now. Unfortunately it looks like they took away the ability to stretch everything any which way. The only object that I can find that works similar is the shape that looks like a cylinder called Extrusion under Featured.
I have a challenge for you buddy can you do a 1.18 scale british ford transit mk1 swb....short wheel base
Thank you
this is for school and i hate it but you are sych a nice guy man awesome u just mnade school that much better
make 4 dimensional cube also this was very helpfull thank you
Any suggestions on how to adjust the extrusion on iPad? I can highlight the dots but can't move them!
