Week 4: Behind the Scenes: Hot air balloon 2

In this class, I redesigned and made the hot air balloon model, and gave more details to the hot air balloon. The making of rope models and various materials learned in the last class are applied to this model. And I used the bend function in the hot air balloon to add a ladder to it. And the soft selection function was used to adjust the details of the ladder and hot air balloon, so that they are more close and there are indentations.
