Doing it exactly like the tutorial says and shows in the initial lattice vertex modifications would result in a bigger, longer, deformed chunk of nonsense entity. I'm amazed how most people got through it without asking for help. Anyway, this is how I figured and realized it should be: Do NOT LEAVE the LATTICE in it's create-time size. Instead, BEFORE making it parent of the spheroid make sure to SCALE IT such that it kind of forms a bounding box around the spheroid. Now you should make sense out of actually shaping the spheroid into what was meant to be. Someone correct the the tutorial please. @Torestorm

When I look at your pics it looks like the lattice is out side but when I make the lattice it's in side. Do I have to shape it from the inside or out side? I don't get it...

I cant even get the sphere. If I hit "add - surfase - sphere, there is a sphere but it is more like an UVsphere................whats the problem? hi, I have the same problem as anirudh wrote about in the 16h of oktober.
