How to fake a 3D cylinder



  • Have been playing around a bit with how to create a cylinder
    (Cylindrical objects) in VS.
    Of course only until VS has 3D tools 🙂

    Came up with this solution.

    The Video he shows the steps and also a variation, re-upload

    Create a circle, create a clone of that circle.
    Create a rectangle and set it up so that it has a
    has a cylindrical shape.

    If you resize original Circle e.g. to a Ellipse
    the clone will follow.

    You can extend this, because its also possible
    to replace the Circle with another Object a Square
    or others. With the help of the "Shape Picker Tool"
