The new techniques of lathing/lofting/boolean/array/reference plate were presented at a fairly quick pace. I would follow and construct the first part of the procedure but I would miss the next steps.
I feel that the reason for missing the next steps is in part due to the position of the computer and having to turn around to view the interactive whiteboard, so in effect I was unable to follow each step as it was presented.
Lathing – completed the beginning stages of selecting a spline, applying a lathe modifier but the shape was not correct. I needed to adjust the axis of rotation.
Lofting – Realised after the lecture that I needed to click on the 'get shape' button rather than drag a standard primitive shape onto the spline path. I have since tried this procedure and it still does not work. Re-learning required.
Boolean – successfully subtracted the 'teapot' from the cube.
Array – I need to re-learn.
Reference plate – completed the beginning stages of selecting the 'Tank' image and resizing to fit on the reference plane. Selected a box shape and converted to an editable poly but having difficulty in removing sections of the shape.
Hi Stuart,
ReplyDeleteI would suggest that you sit the other side of the room in order to see the screen properly - as I recall those machines are not used very much. If you need some notes on the modelling proceedures they are posted on my blog. Try and get some work posted up on these different techniques.
