Build a snowman

Three spheres and a carrot nose: the classic first build, straight from the Learn tab.

First-time — Never opened Ünflat before 4 steps

Video coming soon — the written walkthrough below is the whole build.

Written walkthrough

The snowman is Ünflat’s first lesson for a reason: it’s nothing but stacking, and stacking is the heart of the whole app. This is the same build as the ⛄ card in the app’s Learn tab.

1. Stamp the bottom ball

Open a new Flatling, pick the Sphere, tap open floor, and press Stamp .

2. Make it the biggest ball

Tap the ball and use Size to stretch it wide; a snowman needs a solid base. A couple of presses on Width and Depth is plenty.

3. Stack the middle and the head

Pick the Sphere again and tap the top of the big ball; the ghost lands right on top, like Lego. Stamp the middle ball, then tap its top and stamp a smaller sphere for the head. (Set the Sphere’s Size stepper smaller before stamping; smaller is cuter.)

4. Color it

In Color, fill everything white, then open Paint on the head for the face: two coal eyes, a carrot nose, maybe a crooked smile.

Three pieces, still three pieces, which means the head can animate later. A snowman that nods is a fine second visit.
