More Modeling

It was now time to crack on with some more modeling, my next task was to take on the section of the model with the outer green casing (the housing for the governor). From first eyeballing the pictures, breaking it up into sections would be quite simple as it did not comprise of many complex shapes.


















I started off by creating a chamfer box, then used the line tool to create the mounts that connect the chambers to the box. (The reason for this was because it gave me the most flexibility as there were no objects that resembled the shape I was looking for, I felt that box moddeling would have taken too long to get the desired look.


















































The Bolts were then made by simply using the "Gengon" and giving it 5 sides, I stumbled upon this by accident when creating the previouse model and remembered that it would be a great way to create nuts and bolts.

I then added a sphere that was cut in half to the center of the bolt, which really finishes it off. (These are the small details that I like to spend time on, becasue they will make the end result look so much better.)




















The chamber casings were made by using the "Oil Tank" and changing its Cap Height so that the top and bottom become very rounded. Then my simply adding a cylinder to the top, there was no need to make it all 1 piece because it would have looked wrong when smoothed.













For the front parts, I used the mounts that were created earlier with the line tool, scaled and rotated them. I then modified and used the bolts, adding them all to some spheres.














The back was also very simple to make, taking the bolts created and duplicating them (Holding down shift) and adding some more spheres.














The above image shows how it looks when all the parts are put together, I did not attach all the items simply grouped them. The reason for this is because it they need to be edited or removed at a later day then they can be ungrouped and done easily, where as when you connect them you cannot break them apart. (This also will help out the other members when animation is taking place.)













The above image shows the wireframe once the 2 models that I have made have been put together, you can really start to see the model comming to life. I am not brilliant at moddeling but am suprising myself throughout this module.





















Here is the rendered vesion of both models added together.
