Let's make the pumpkin from the following steps.
1)Make the model of the pumpkin from the Shape menu.
2)Make the section of the pumpkin in ROKURO mode.
3) Since the swelling of the pumpkin is given, lock the control point in Bitmap mode.
4) Blow up the pumpkin with Ballon plug-in.
5) Maximize, save and upload to the in-world.
