Reply To: Collab 2020: Modeling Heavy Equipment (Backhoe)

Okay. I actually think I can give the file to both Parker and Adrian. @pfbourassa you should be good to go, I made some notes on the sheet in the file, take a look for our comments. we can regroup at the end and append our files as one or submit them separately. I am up for either way. I still have some work to do on my hydraulic connectors to my pistons and a few other details to add but I can work those on my own.

Here’s my file: DropBox – Upload Adrian2301-Blanchsb-Pfbourassa

@adrian2301 I have made a few adjustments to the hydraulics going to my connection points. If you just want to make them yourself you can re-append your collection. I had to move the brackets around because they were too close to the lower hydraulic and upper hydraulic. I adjusted your lines to stay in line with them. There left and right brackets were also not mirrored about the world origin so I fixed it so the left side matches the right side (brackets only) and then adjusted the hydraulics for that as well.

Again, if you want to look things over and do it on your own that is fine too. I figured since I was in the thick of it I might as well do a couple of adjustments so that all you have to do is scale most things by 0.5.

The brackets should be the hardest part for the scaling but you can get creative in edit mode and get similar results.

Looks pretty cool seeing these lines all come together:
