Technical Notes: Week 7

Chindogu Challenge

I was able to better familiarise myself with very basic 3D modelling tools with this challenge although I don't think I've learnt enough Maya for this exercise.

I learnt how to use the multicut tool further. Holding shift snaps it to increments of 10%. Holding ctrl creates an edge loop.

I utilised the extrude tool (ctrl e) and moving the pivot point (d) quite a bit to create the bends. I used the bridge tool quite a bit as well to fill gaps.

Camera stuff

Change one of the orthographic views to the camera view.

To undo or redo camera movements: use "[" and "]" respectively.

"s" creates a keyframe.
