Create an object like a sphere or anything else of your choice.  I chose an ellipse.

Now you will see a bounding box surrounding your object with points.

Each point can be moved from the box and change the shape of the object.  Multiple points and also be moved at the same time.

After clicking on multiple points by holding down shift, I can now drag them to alter the shape of the object.
