Spacewheel // Work in Progress 1  |   Order by default Post by fahembree // Aug 15, 2008, 5:21pm fahembree Total Posts: 123 I haven't done much lately but I have been wanting to to try and create a model of a toy that I have and was made back in the 70's called a space wheel. I aslo want to try and cerate a short animation when its finished. I thinks its a pretty neat toy. Here what I have so far. Its pretty simple.

Post by fahembree // Aug 16, 2008, 6:41pm fahembree Total Posts: 123 Done a little bit of work on the space wheel device, but my modeling skills are not all that good. Its just eye balling it from an attached image as I don't know how to do this any other way. Post by fahembree // Aug 17, 2008, 6:25pm fahembree Total Posts: 123 A small update. It turns out that there is more work to this than I first envisioned as the space wheel has both farily sharp edges and some that are completely round so I will need to use sds. Its good practice though and hopefully I will make it look the way its supposed to look. Post by Davin // Aug 17, 2008, 10:01pm Davin Total Posts: 59 Looking good so far, keep it up.

Post by fahembree // Aug 19, 2008, 6:15pm fahembree Total Posts: 123 Yes, I know they need to be the same. I decided I didn't need sds as the side are all really sharp edges so I started over and just modeled one part since it can then be copied and rotated after that's done. I think its almost complete, just need to check the scale and add some stickers that say "this side out". Then I can experiment with creating an animation. Attached is an updated image.

Post by fahembree // Aug 21, 2008, 6:46am fahembree Total Posts: 123 I have tried any animations yet but I believe the answer is by hand where I just move to spacewheel object to different locations and set the keyframes and also the rotation amounts.
