Week 3 Exercises



Making the bucket wasn't too tough, though tedious. Everything went smoothly with the instructions except for the Boolean > Difference portion of it, where I have to make holes for the connectors. Maya did not seem to be able to recognize the cylinder, instead creating a Boolean > Union. Hence, I was forced to skip the step. Regardless, it wasn't too hard and making the vase was rather quick, though not as neat as my bucket.


 The tracks were finished faster than the bucket and with the tutorial, I learned how to make my own model from a sketch. Initially, I thought bending the track requires the use of Vertex but I never imagined that it needs to revert to Animation mode. Unlike the bucket, no serious errors were encountered.

Just like the tracks, the washing board was done rather quickly and without any serious errors. The only true problem I had was the Align Tool, since I still not sure on how it is supposed to work. In the end, I had to manual align the pieces myself. Still, it turns out pretty similar to the intended model.
