Vita Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi all, I'm modelling a handle which will ultimately be made out of aluminum. What I'm looking to have is a soft taper on both the left and right sides. I'm not certain of the best way to do it. Ideally I would like soft edges on it as well. Here's a quick screenshot.
