Hard-Surface Foundations with Modifiers

Explain the concept of non-destructive modeling using the modifier stack.

Use the Mirror modifier to efficiently model symmetrical hard-surface base shapes.

Use Boolean modifiers (Union, Difference, Intersect) to combine and cut hard-surface forms.

Apply the Solidify modifier to give thickness to planar shapes.

Use the Bevel modifier to create clean, uniform edges on blockout models.

Explain how modifier stack order affects the final mesh result.

Apply modifiers to create a final base mesh suitable for hard-surface sculpting.
