===Description===
Software : Rhinoceros & Grasshopper (Explicit History)
Basically the idea is to drive the radius of the circles with the distance between the point(s). The circles then use the MIN component and a range factor to limit how big the circles can get as well as the area of influence of each point.
Porcelain doll
Introduction:
This time we are modeling the body of a Porcelain doll. Not so accurate, but easy enough!

Edge Softening
== Description ==
A plug-in that fakes small filleted edges in RDK compliant renderers.
It allows you to fake filleted edges on meshes for rendering.
*Use the Object Properties “Edge Softening” option once the plug-in is installed to change the radius. The plug-in requires an RDK compliant renderer to work (for example, Brazil).
*Use the command “ExtractSoftenedEdgeMesh” to obtain the mesh for use in other render engines(for example, Vray) or RP.
