Stupendous submission @jmac05. Couldn’t be a better execution of the assignment/exercise. I like the personality of the coffee cup: Grade A work 👍
I experienced similar awkwardness regarding the base mesh placement VS modifier result of the tire. As far as I could tell, it was due to the required collaboration of object origins (basemesh & circle). With that as a requirement, I’m not sure we could setup the basemesh to be intuitively placed along the wheel..unfortunately.
If anyone else has a suggestion, I’m all ears.
