From some place on earth, very deep within nature, where the trees have wi-fi, it’s Nick. What an honor. Man I wish I could just… go.

So this tractor is going to be 15 million polys for sure. We’re going to have to use the Simplify option for the viewport and not any computer will be able to render this poly monster.

Or maybe after all the modeling is over, an extra lesson or livestream would be to have us try an optimize the part we made, get the poly count down at least 30% or something along those lines.

Ha ha @duerer , I could do a tutorial on using a bezier curve for all those pipes, I can do them with my eyes shut now, and whilst I’m snoring.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

@duerer  you do realise the gearbox is attached to the drive shaft which is attached to the rear axle. ha ha. when your done we can bolt them together. just kidding, I have found some reference for the gearbox. not sure when I will get to it though.
