Week2 Lab1-Exercise 2(Toy Train Modelling)

Firstly, In order to create a toy train. We must analysis the shape/polygons that we need. The shapes are rectangle block,cubes,cylinders,cone and sphere for the windows.


I drew the shapes out step by step.








8 cylinders being rotate to become the wheel of the train.

Then i need to make the edge of the polygons smooth and curve.

For the rectangle block, i change it to vertex and space bar then edit mesh>beveal

The edge turn out to be a bit curve.

For the cylinder,i right click and chose vertex.After that i press space bar >select>edge ring tool.I click on the edge of each cylinder > edit mesh>beveal.The edge turn out to be a bit curve.

After that i rotate the cylinder and try to fit on top of the rectangular block.This make the front of the toy train.

Follow by, I drew a rectangular block,this is highlighted in green in the screen shot.I adjust it and fit it behind the cylinder.

In order to make the windows of the toy train. I need two small little sphere.

I move the sphere near to the rectangular block,imerged into the block.Then i select the both object.

At the top menu bar. Edit>boolean>Difference. This would create a two semi-hole as the windows.

Then i drag it back to align with the cyllinder and the rectangular box.

I drew a small cone that was highlighted in green for the horn of the toy train.

Then i rotate to make the cylinder upside down.With the base facing the top. Placing it in the middle of the both objects(cylinder/rectangular block)

Continue on with the train. I drew a small rectangular block and 3 cubes.

Then i make the small rectangular block edge smooth. Spacebar>edit mesh>beveal.( highlighted in green)

I place the small rectangular block on top of the big rectangular block.

Afetr that in order to make a hole to store the 3 cubes as shown in the picture of the toy train. I need to select the both block>edit>booleans>difference. This create a hole as shown

I store the 3 cube down in the hole created. (:

Next. The wheel. Made up of cylinders.

Rotate to make it vertical.Place it properly to form the wheels of the train.

Done!(:

Side View of the toy train.

This is how it looks like.But not yet done!

I need to create a shelter for the toy train.A rectangle is needed.

Make the edge smooth using the same method.
Edit mesh>beveal.
The edge become smoother.

As seen in the screen shot. I place it on top of the toy train.

To connect the two part (front and back of the triangle together)
Two very small cylinder is needed.

I place them in the centre of the the two parts.

Finally, the toy train is form! (:

Next i colour it to make it the same as the image given in the lab sheet.

Here it goes!(:
