Create hookah like on the photo
Indian or not, pipe’s a source of pleasure among the young. See how it’s made and holdover the simple steps in making it.
In this lesson we will create a hookah such on this photo.
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 1](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/1.jpg&w=450)
Now when we created a new project import image plane for front camera:
(View->Image Plane->Import Image) and select hookah
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 2](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/2.jpg&w=450)
It will bring a picture in front camera:

Now when it's selected press Ctrl+a to view Attribute editor for this item,
input in field alpha gain 0.5 (it's for better grid viewing),
and lower in Placement Extras at Center there three fields, input in third -30, at all must be 0 0 -30
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 4](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/4.jpg&w=450)
Start to make a curve for a base (Select CV curve tool with option 3Cubic degree)
In corner put 2 or 3 points to get it sharper, but not point on point, just close to it.
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 5](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/5.jpg&w=450)
Begin to tweak a curve
It must be something like this (I'm not made any special just moved verities):
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 6](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/6.jpg&w=450)
Curve :
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 7](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/7.jpg&w=450)
Select move tool (hit w) then hold d (moving pivot point mode) and c (snap to curves) key
and click middle mouse button on curve, drag pivot point into lower part of curve.
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 8](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/8.jpg&w=450)
Create revolve from this curve (select curve and then Surfaces->Revolve)with default options
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 9](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/9.jpg&w=450)
Select image plane and adjust center X, input 0.2 and image plane will be at center of our base.
Now create with same way upper part of hookah
I made rough curve and then tweak point and also move pivot point at end of curve's lower part:
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 10](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/10.jpg&w=450)
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 11](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/11.jpg&w=450)
Now create revolve for this curve (Surface->Revolve)
On this picture you can see that base is smaller than upper part.
![Tutorial Create hookah like on the photo 12](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/12.jpg&w=450)
So adjusting base - select all control vertices on base curve
but without two that stays on left and just move them a little to the right.
