Make a cube.
[shift+a, add > mesh > cube] You may go to the next page right now as what follows shows only how to give that poor cube a chance to get a date : nothing animation related. |
 |
Subdivide the cube once. |
 |
Make sure that the scaling will occur
around the 3D cursor.
[press the DOTKEY on the main keyboard] With all vertices selected, place the 3D cursor at the center of it. [shift+s, Curs -> Sel] |
 |
Deselect all the points.
[AKEY] Now select only the middle points of each face. [Go in top view, NUMPAD7, side view, NUMPAD3 and front view, NUMPAD1. Each time press BKEY and draw a rectangle around the centre of the face.] Scale those points inward somewhat. [SKEY, click left mouse button to set the new position, click right button to cancel scaling.] |
 |
Do a second scaling, this time leaving only the eight corner vertices unselected. |
 |
Our cube after its make over. |
