Collab 2020: Modeling Heavy Equipment (Backhoe)

[Adrian Bellworthy]

@blanchsb to be honest the chassis has pretty much been guess work, trial and error. So don’t rely on the holes being where you need them, I think we will all have to work together to fix it.

Hey everyone I just found this on the cab  

A close look at the cab

Hi Kent, 

I want to model Wheel and Cab, but in the google sheet, it seems that there are already three contributors for those parts. 

I can take another part also. Please let me know once you have update the sheet for assignment #3.

@theluthier I wanted to re-emphasize that I appreciated watching you struggle through some of the modeling fixes and creations. I find it very important to watch troubleshooting in action. I’m sure there are people watching the recordings that don’t share my opinion, but for me it is Essential Training.

I tried recreating your Boolean Approach on the Zerk (grease port) fitting after the live stream and was able to recreate 30% from memory before hitting a wall haha. Looking forward to the archive of the live stream so I can see what I forgot.

P.S.  Forum page 5 Unlocked!!!
That’s How the Cookie Crumbles

[Ingmar Franz]

@blanchsb I totally agree with you, that the model fixing techniques @theluthier showed are very helpfull.  My idea in the livestream chat was, to present these techniques additionally to the livestream recording as an excerpt video so that people who want to jump directly into that don’t need to search for these demonstrations in the livestream recording. 

PS: You just opened page 5 😀🏆🥇

[Shawn Blanch]

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. OR if it is too much work, perhaps just have the comment regarding the time stamp for each topic being worked on. I also need to go back and watch Spikey’s grading review. I had to walk away to take care of something and came back and he had moved on.

There should be a CG Cookie Badge for unlocking the 5th forum page called “Cookie Chatter” or “And that’s how the Cookie Crumbles”

I suppose I posted my last comment at the wrong place. But this thread is very easy to get lost. Thanks a lot for the great stream Kent! As I wrote in the last comment. I would like to try for the Wheel and Cab. But when I saw google sheet there are already three person allotted for both of the part. Is it kind of limit per part or should I go for other part ?

[Ingmar Franz]

Could this CG Cookie Badge look like this ?

[Shawn Blanch]

Now we are talking Ingmar!

P.S. But this is community effort. The Pound deserves the trophy. I made one at the top to celebrate such an active forum. Sure it is hard to navigate,……..but it’s not stopping us muahhaha.

Thank you @blanchsb @duerer! You’re the real ones 🤝

perhaps just have the comment regarding the time stamp for each topic

We’re on the same page about this! I just uploaded the recording to wistia (our video hosting service) and they have an option for chapter organization. I’ll add chapters for easier navigation.

when I saw google sheet there are already three person allotted for both of the part. Is it kind of limit per part or should I go for other part ?

@ryzen7 my apologies, I will make sure to keep at least one blank slot per part in the google sheet. There’s no limit to number of people working on the same piece.

And yes, this thread is increasingly difficult to follow. I’m going to post the Assignment 3 prompt today with info about maintaining individual threads per artist. That should make communication easier to navigate/follow.

[Karen Trevino]

I enjoy the whole process, trouble shooting and all. Making mistakes and how to correct them, Not just start over….Ive done that alot lol

[Karen Trevino]

As for me, Im only working on the frame window and roof, it looked easy but all the parts etc. and the inside…

[Ingmar Franz]

@blanchsb what about this?

PS: Good idea that with the “Pound Trophy” 😀

[Omar Domenech]

I like the “raw and real” approach of the livestreams as well, it complements recorded tutorials. I see it like in The Titanic, recorded lessons are like First Class, nifty, classy, sophisticated, but kinda fake… Livestreams are like Jack stealing Rose for a fun party with the people down below.
