Our 3D backhoe model is taking shape. Progressing past the initial block out stages, we're starting to finalize the hard-surface pieces of the machine. In part 3, I'd like to cover the creation of hydraulic lines and the advanced shrinkwrap technique for cutting construction lines on smooth shapes. Though given that I'm predicting this a month away, these topics are subject to change.
This complex model is a collaborative effort between instructor and Citizen members. The idea is to build this crazy thing together! If you're interested in contributing, please jump over to the Forum Thread to learn more!

[Q] Kent can you turn on screencast keys?
I agree with Jake. I woul never try to model while following Kent. I just watch live for it to sink in. Then I try to model it and watch the recording and pause a lot
It's the math fault
[Q] Kent, this will give 16 treads...You'll need 22
Yeah don't try to follow along right now, just watch - and then try to follow along when you watch the recording later, so you can pause it after each step. :)
You are doing great, Kent. I am following, while I am cooking. Multitasking is hard,
and slow downnnn theeeee plaaaybaack lol
Shanr you can always watch the recording a bunch
Ok
