Turn yourself (or a loved one) into a vase (Video)
In this video tutorial I show how you can take a portrait of a loved one (or yourself) and - using SketchUp - turn it into a revolved object that you can then use as a vase, cup, candle holder etc. This technique is simple and makes for a great gift (e.g. by 3D printing). As a bonus, I show how you can create a face-morphing shape from two portraits.

Keen readers of this blog may know that I covered this technique in one of my earliest posts. I had never done a video tutorial on this technique, however, which is now remedied.
While the basic technique uses only SketchUp's built-in tools, I also demonstrate some of Fredo6's extensions here:
Joint PushPull
FredoSpline
Curviloft
I hope you find this useful and create some cool items. Feel free to post those in the discussion area below.
