Make a sphere first.making a cylinder Keep the centers of the two objects consistent. Rotate the cylinder at a certain angle. Use the circular layout tool Make different numbers of cylinders by rotating 360 degrees. Use the spherical aberration tool to make round holes on the original sphere. I hope this method can help you wish you all the best.
