This three camera format was recorded using OBS Studio and edited to include the fourth face cam in Power Director 365 In this glassblowing demo, I show the detailed process of sculpting a glass sphere using a torch and various tools. The hot glass heats up, glows orange, and is carefully manipulated to create a smooth, round form, highlighting the intricate skills involved in its making. It's truly amazing to see the creation of such a beautiful piece by hand by a skilled artist.
