Re: 3D Animation Q/A

the easiest way to make a trashcan is to use a cylinder, delete the top, and adda shell modifier. shell just makes your 2-d objects have thickness.

if you have to do it with a tube, selcet the vetices on the inside edge of the end of your tube, like where the bottom will be, and scale them down until they are close enogh to weld into one vetex. that will give you issues, though. for the easiest solution, you should just go ahead and plug the bottom of the tube up with a cylinder.
