Bending Planes

This lesson reframes planes as a practical tool rather than a strict set of boxes. Nikki Scarano highlights how real patterns often sit slightly off a clean wall, wheel, or horizontal plane, using angled alignment to keep paths clear and reduce prop collision.

You’ll explore when and why to deliberately bend a plane, shifting a prop just inside or outside the expected plane to create safe passes and maintain continuity. Use this as a troubleshooting lens when patterns feel cramped, clash, or lose clarity, especially while coordinating two props.
