Week 3 Lab 2 (Washing Board)

This exercise requires me to model a washing board.

Process

So to create a washing board, we first create a rectangular base with a lot of subdivisons.

Once done, we go into edge mode and select the ones that are to be beveled and bevel them.

Now, we can extrude the faces that were created from beveling.

Once that is done, we now create the other parts of the washing board, like the head of it.

After that we move it into position by using the align tool.

Creating the essential parts and moving them into position with the align tool again.

Repeating the process again, except that it is different parts this time.

And then we are done.

Techniques

Simple but effective techniques are being learned here. Such as the align tool, which is really great for moving things into the precise positions. Also, by doing things like beveling then extruding makes a lot of difference instead of just extruding itself. This just goes to show how complex modeling can be but at the same time how we can manipulate them into being realistic looking models.

Reflection

Once again, this tutorial was fun and simple. It is very relieving that the tutorial is as simple and clear as the previous race track one. And hopefully, more are coming. Because, with clear instructions, less time is being wasted to actually find out what the instructions mean. And that will allow us to learn more and understand more. One time i noticed is that we are paying more attention to details now, instead of just primitive modeling. Which is great, as we are now advancing and becoming more experienced users.
