Here’s my progress for the cart so far:
1) Intersecting a coplanar ground plane.
2) Ground plane turned off.
3) I also agree with @sheila5 about her idea of having Melvin interact with the cart somehow. Possibly not in this particular Collab, but maybe in a future animation tutorial or such from Wayne Dixon @waylow
4) Screenshot of the view from the Assembly file Camera (zoomed in.)
5) Full view from the linked Assembly file Camera.
6) And a final view from the side.
Open to comments.
@duerer @dostovel @createtaiwan @theluthierHomework Submission – Week 1 – Cart
Here is my block-out for the Spice Vendor’s cart.
I don’t know if I should keep the faceted look of the cart poles or not. I’m also wondering if I should go back to linking the the railings and cart side struts into a single mesh, like it was in my previous WIP post.
And critique gratefully received.
(Underneath of the cart.)
I know that I’m probably crazy doing this, but here is my current progress remodeling my cart.
This is because the original has some twisted geometry in places and I’d rather have a “trim and true” version to begin Week 2 from. Also I’m using this opportunity to “model smarter, not harder” @theluthier and see how much geometry I can reuse through Linked Object Data.
Admittedly this may be a fool hard attempt, as it may be while the imperfection of my submission may irritate me (I’d like to be certain that any Linked planks will actually be all the same dimension before linking them, ie. no bizarre skewing of geometry), that same imperfection may be what endears it to others.
Also while beginning this second draft I realised that I’d forgot that most carts tend to have Leaf Spring suspension 🤔, so I guess the quickest fix would be to say that the Spice Vendor is a very frugal chap (a Scrooge McDuck if you may) and bought the cheaper cart without any suspension from the salesman. @harbinger_ua Then use the savings to buy/find more spice perhaps?
In any case I may just be needlessly wasting my efforts, but as has been told to me many a time: I’m a perfectionist. 😁
Until the Live Stream then. . .
Now I really do think that I’m crazy: I think I like the first one better.
(Dick Dastardly – “Drat! Drat! Double Drat!”)
Maybe I should just split the difference and just replace the old draw bars with the 2nd version’s pair.
I wanted to add metal tires to the wheels, but know I think that that would just ruin the simplicity of the 1st cart.
Any words of wisdom? Or failing that common sense? @duerer @sheila5 @createtaiwan @wardred @dostovel
