This
is where the more fun and creative part comes into play. Now that
you know how to make all these wonderful shapes, it’s time to
put your hard work to good use. How about making a building with
a pyramid top? Or maybe a cubed building with a dome roof? All
of these are simple to make and also give IPA the complexity it
needs to keep people interested. All you need to do is make each
shape separately, making sure that each piece is in proportion.
Then using the select tool in Paintbrush move the shapes over
and around each other until they look right and you are happy
with the result.
Just for a small example I’ll be creating a cube which has sloped
sides and a sphere sitting on top. The first step is to create
your outlines for each of the shapes. As you can see below I have
used red lines so each of my shapes are in the correct proportions
to each other. Below is an example of each of the shapes I will
need for my little structure.
