BC1-1801 Week 2 Homework Submission
I call this “Tire, Rim, Coffee Cup #7.” I know, breaking apart the tire is soooo derivative… Didn’t get wrapped up in realism so much as getting comfortable with working with the tools again. Learning a lot! One thing that was reeeaaally difficult for me this week was to stay on task and concentrate on working within (maybe a little beyond) my bounds. Such incredible work out of so many attendees, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and attempt something that would just lead to frustration, doom, broken vertices, and oh yeah, no submission at this point. Just buckled down, redid the coffee cup project from the demo then focused on doing the tire. Didn’t really play around with the lattice much but got a lot of use out of the Array, curve, subdivision surf modifiers. Used both crease values and holding edges. Was interesting to note that there were a few instances when using crease instead of a holding edge led to a weird pinch in the mesh. When I would reset the problem edge to 0.0 crease and use a holding edge the issue would generally clear up. Thanks for the tip on using this for the exercise submission to Kent. Wagon ho!
