Tinker CAD lesson 4

Lesson 4 (tinker cad)

Castle:

 

 

 

Making this castle was very challenging as it required all the skill that we had learnt so far and may more. One of the hardest parts were do get everything aligned properly, including the ridges. It was not very hard to do the ridges on the wall as I could just find and ideal size for the hole and duplicate the size and place them on the wall. It was also easy because all of the ridges were in one direction. But on the other had doing the ridges on the circle was very hard, this was because every time we had to put a square hole on the circle we would have to rotate the grid to make sure the hole is at a good angle and is facing the right way. When aligning the cylinders it was easy and all aligned form the front angle, but the moment we went up or changed the angle of the grid it would not be aligned. This is the reason I had to start again. Making this castle was also fun as it was nice to experiment with the shape and we could move around the shapes with no instructions stopping us. But if there were instructions it would have been much easier to make the caste the way it looked on the paper.

Car:

 

This car was also very hard to make but sine I had practice from making the caste without instructions it became much easier. This shape didn't require making any ridges or using too many hole so it was not as hard as the castle. In this I had to use different shapes than I had done in the previous one. it required me to make the base of the car using a parabloid and make it big enough to fit lights and wheels in it. the wheels' base was also make of the same shape and was given more detail with the tubes and a smaller parabloid. The middle was made out of a hemi-sphere and so was the front, just that in the front the shape was stretched out.

Smaller shapes:

All of the smaller shapes were very easy to make as I had make complex designs like the castle and car. Though this was easy it required me to use all of the skills that I had learnt in the basic lessons. It required me to move my shapes around, to make the shapes go above the grid, to make holes in the shapes and to size the shapes properly. For the smiley face it required me to flatten the cylinder and then make holes for the eyes and mouth, Then I made the speech bubble but flattening another cylinder and added text onto it. For the Snowman looking spheres I just had to shape the spheres by making one big, then medium and one small I moved them up and stacked them. Finally I aligned the spheres from all sides. The house was also easy to make as I just stacked shaped on top of each other not needing to make any holes. Making the wagon like thing was not as easy as I expected but it was not very hard either, I made the shape of the wheels and place a hexagon above then. to make the hole I created a bigger hexagon and placed it on top. After this I made the bigger hexagon into a hole and grouped everything.
