    jakeblended the overall goal for me is to learn and therefore I have to proctice and try out o lot. And it's fun exploring the complicated shape of the rear axle which is a kind of artwork for me.

    duerer we all approach a model in a different way, Kent says he would sculpt it, I wouldn't cause I can't sculpt. Such complex shapes for me need individual pieces. Like an engine for example.

    Kent just leaked top secret info. He's going to get flogged with cookies now.

  • Omar Domenech(dostovel)

    Sneak Peek slip out

  • Jake Korosi(jakeblended)

    duerer I would say you definitely did that! It almost feels a shame that you have to simplify all that work, but yeah it ends up being just too dense for the overall project.

    nice tip!!

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer)

    jakeblended I just wanted to understand how this axle works and how the shapes flow into each other

The mega collaboration cannot be stopped ✊

Our 3D backhoe model is progressing quickly toward the final product. Progressing past the initial block out stages, we're starting to finalize the hard-surface pieces of the machine. In part 4, I'd like to cover the creation of hydraulic lines (like I said I would last time), answer any questionable modeling situations like in part 3, and / or simply model in real time for an hour or two. However given that I'm predicting this a month away, these topics are subject to change.
