In this exercise, i am supposed to model a gear.
Process
First of all, i opened up the maya file given.
After opening that, i went into face mode and began selecting alternating faces of the Pipe primitive.
Next, i extruded them using the y and x scale
After that, i moved out the z scale while extruding and voila! the gear is done.
Techniques
In this exercise, i learned that shift selecting(toggle) and ctrl selecting(cancel) is very important when i want to deal with several thing at once, like faces or vertices. Also, i learned that extruding can help me deform or form many different things from a simple primitive shape.
Reflection
This exercise was very easy. Because of the base file given, all i had to do was follow the instructions of the html and i have to say that they were very clear because of video footage. I hope that the future exercises all have these kinds of tutorials because video is always clearer than text and pictures.
