Preposterous 3D Eraser project that I somehow managed to do without asking for an extension.

This was a great learning experience but I have never so badly wanted to smash my laptop before.







 These are my renders! Pretty exciting to see how it all came together! The minute details were really worth it, in the end :) tbh i'm proud of how well each piece came together.

I primarily solved all my problems with planarsrf, explode, group, and - a huge shout out to - the split tool! For without that I don't even know how I could make some of the shapes as accurate as I did haha.

The most tedious/frustrating part was getting each individual hole (which there are 41! It took me 3 times to count btw) in the main chamber and then splitting the negative shapes so that i could join all the surfaces that needed to be there. And after about 30 minutes of doing that I finally finished only to realize that I could've made only one and then copied it to all the others and that would've probably taken 10 minutes MAX. It was at the point when I took a break and bought myself a drink to make myself feel not as empty inside.

Here are screenshot-close-ups of all the different components as well :)

    Good work on this! The renders look great. I look forward to seeing you flex your developing modelling skills!

Castle of King Wormy

This is the castle I created. Below is a description of my process, the challenges I've faced and how I overcame them :) I started off with a great start! Made some basic shapes (squares and circles) - extruded, capped and layered them to create the base of my castle.  I also started to use the loft tool to create a tapered effect with the central building. At this point I finished up with the loft tool and I finished making the extra tower, using the alt function to duplicate the tower. I started expanding on the base and used the BooleanDifference function to remove the center on the circle I extruded previously. I kept my polylines in the back in case I needed to use them as a reference in the possible future. Here I started playing with the design of what It would potentially look like. I knew at this point I'd want to make it vastly more elaborate. This is where I started running into problems: I wanted to make an archway that I could manipu
