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] If we reach the end and there are still pieces not at their optimal place, what will be the road to take?
I still love working at CAT don't get me wrong
The demo reel may help though.
Haha. If this was a small business they would love it. Big Business doesn't care. They don't need the publicity unless this was going into a movie that sold millions.
perhaps the small demo is already enough to have them start dreaming
I noticed alot of artifacts that happened that had me puzzled why it did that.
Or go Oceans Eleven on it
I can look into stuff though
