T620 Make a Star

Let's make the following star using TATARA 6.0.

Let's push down the star horizontally and make it.

To make this, I made the following background image.
It is arranged so that it may become symmetrical by the upper and lower sides, when using the mirror function for the transverse direction.
The two black lines are drawn in order to decide the place in which the vertexes gather up and down.

Let's make the star from the following steps. 
1) Make the form where the star was seen from the side from ROKURO. 
2) Make the stellar form from TSUCHI. 
3) Maximize, save and upload to the in-world.
