Apple

The Apple

To make this apple I first created a box and put 4x4 segments into it. This allowed me to apply both edit mesh and edit poly modifiers. Using these modifiers in conjunction with scale and move tools and a preview in the perspective window I manipulated the shape until it resembled an apple.

The Stalk

To create the stalk I drew a circle with an approximate diameter of what I wanted for the stalk and using the create new shape tool drew a arc'd line to make the shape I wanted the stalk to be. Using the sweep modifier I selected the circle shape and then the line as its path and it extruded the shape for me. Once this was done I thought it was too large to using the scale function scaled the stalk by eye and moved into the position I wanted.
