In part 3 of the series, we began modeling the Snitch\u2019s wings. In part 4, we will finalize the wing shape using the Cut with Surface Tool as well as finish up the design using the Body Move\/Copy, Mirror, and Combine tools. Finally, we\u2019ll give the model a finishing touch by applying appearances and\u00a0show you how to change the modeling environment for reflective appearances.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U--lPvkU15I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Wizards and muggles alike can learn something new from our Golden Snitch tutorial series!
