How to create a cone ?

I've scanned in a human head with mouth open...I've imported the scanned head into Fusion 360, now I want to add some vampire like fangs to the model, I was thinking of using cones.

 

How do I create fangs to add to the model?

This is good, now if I want to sculpt a tooth, how do I start?  Is there a tutorial on sculpting?

Here's a screen cast of sculpting a fang.  There are a lot of tutorials on sculpting, I don't have a specific one I can point you to.  Using sculpt looks easy and straight forward, but that's a bit deceptive.  There are a lot of things that go into making a more complicated sculpted form.  I suggest watching a lot of videos of people making sculpted forms.  Probably the best way to learn.

 

I (and other on this forum) have noted that some tutorials (particularly from AD) use sculpting techniques that are not ideal, so be careful.

 

Getting the topology right will be of prime importance.  I usually start with that, and then shape it into the final form.

Click on the purple Create Form button above the create pulldown icon. If it's not there, then it's at the bottom of that same pull-down and it will take you into the Sculpt workspace. I don't know why it's not an option in the workspace pull-down along with the other workspaces. I'm sure there's a reason for it. I'm still new here.
