Ninth Week Blog Post for Project

Project Blog Week Nine:

This is my ninth blog post for my modelling project, this time I moved onto making some toy blocks to be more precise children's learning blocks. Firstly I shrunk the faces of a cube then extruded each face to form a border. I then duplicated this process to create several different blocks and produced various letters and numbers using the text tool, which I then applied to the faces of the blocks. The actual blocks are a wooden texture but for the letters and numbers I decided to use various bright colours.   

I then moved onto my next task which was to create an aeroplane. I started by making the body which was made by stretching out a sphere shape. The main wings and the smaller back wings were formed by flatting and stretching out a sphere and the rudder was made by doing the same process as before but then cutting it in half and placing it onto the back of the plane. After that was done I created the cockpit area, firstly I put in the seat using two cube shapes, the joystick was made out of cylinders and the glass windscreen was put into  place. The struts and wheels were created next, the struts were made out of cylinders by forming them into the right shape and size, the wheels were made out of torus or doughnut shapes. I slotted  a sphere into the wheel to form the wheel hub. The last thing I made for the plane was an engine by creating a cylinder, which I removed the top face of forming a hollow box shape. I then placed a flattened sphere into this area and created the blades of the fan using thinned out cubed shapes aligning them into a star shape. Using the same steps I used to create the first plane, I decided to make two smaller, more basic, younger,  children's planes. The only differences were that the windscreens were placed sideways on the planes to make them more distinctive and I added a pilots head to each of the cockpits.
