Some Random Stuff

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry this is so late! Here are a couple of exercises I did quite awhile back but just couldn't get them online due to some internet issues I had at home. I have some more random files to add to this...I just need to find it all in my computer. :)

First off, here is a little goblet I did while practicing using the revolve tool. I drew half a curve and revolved it around the y-axis, added a couple textures/colors, and there you have it:




And here is a logo I did for the Texas Historical Association that I am a member of. We publish the Texas Almanac every two years.


The original.


3D logo.


I really should add some shadows...

To make the logo, I traced the blue star in the original with the curves tool, enclosed them, extruded the curves and added color. The white piece in the back is an extruded plane. In all, there are 5 pieces.

Electromagnetic Submarine



For my model, I decided to make this electromagnetic sub.



I began with a large cylinder, then extruded the front end several times to create the nose. The back was also extruded several times, elongated, then rounded off at the end.


I added a bit more detail on the tail fins just to make it more interesting. More extrusions. :)



The top two sections were also cylinders that I elongated and deleted several faces and edges. You can't tell from the outside, but there are four poles of varying sizes connecting the top two sections to the body of the sub. The blueprint I used was a bit difficult to work off of because it was drawn with perspective, but it came out OK.

I'm also working on a haunted house, but it's not finished quite yet and I want it to be very detailed. Hopefully it will be done by next week. Ciao!
