The Corners of the World: Eiffel Tower [Part 6]

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the sixth part of the project, as I said in the last project, I modeled the bottom part of the tower without paying much attention to the segments, so when I use Lattic, it doesn't follow the pattern of the tower. (I should had known that earlier.😞)

In the last project, Connect and Cut saves the day, but I was soon stuck at the front of the bridge.

As you guys can see in this picture from the last post, there's an segment connecting to the "leg", which is unremovable. Either deleting it with the Delete key and removing it in the modify panel, it will delete the front panel.

But I finally fix it after some "battle" with it. 

After failing about twenty times,(No kidding, I took almost the whole day to fix it.) 

I gave up but I realize that what I can do is to remake the front panel after the segment took the front panel away. It's the only way to remove the segment and leave the front panel the same. 

I traced it with the line tool, converted it to Editable Poly and attach it to the rest of the bottom part to replace the wrong one.

Now, I'm going to do the same thing to the back part.

The Corners of the World: Eiffel Tower [Part 5]

Hello,

This is the fifth part of the Eiffel Tower, a project of The Corners of The World, a series of mine.

After a few days of no-3Ds Maxing, I'm finally back to this project that I left aside because of continueues failing.Like always, pausing a project gave my brain time to clam down and think

I used the Lattic on it but it just apply them on the segments, which I didn't pay much attention on.

Then I refer to the original work to make the segments same as it.

I tested it and the result as satisfying me.

I repeat the whole process at the legs of the structure.

{It's almost 12 o'clock now and I'm going to sleep, good night and sweet dreams to everyone.}

Although Halloween is over, but it's not late for a Photoshop project: 

Photoshop: Burnt-out Grass to Lush Green Lawn

I'm here again, the Eiffel Tower project is driving me crazy now, I didn't expect that the rest of the structure will be so tricky. But I can't leave my blog alone without posts. So I done a easy one but don't worry, I will complete the project and the series.

The Corners of the World: Eiffel Tower [Part 4]

Greetings,

Welcome to the fourth part of the Eiffel Tower of Paris of my series, The Corners of the World.

I didn't do much today due to school and the tricky arc of the bottom part. 

3Ds Max objects are just a hollow shape with a thin "wall" so when I use Boolean, the arc part will be hollow and without a cover. It doesn't look great to me so I used whole day (That mean all my free time, not the"whole day".😜) to fix it using functions like:

~Cap (which turn out very geometric😐)

~Bridge (which patch the holes and making new holes again😂)

~Extrude (which do the whole thing in wrong directions.😐)

(I know no one use Extrude to patch holes but I'm out of choices!😂) 

Finally, I used planes and the Snap to Vertexes to patch the holes one by one. 

(which is very very very time wasting.😂)

The resulting patches, although not even in size, but still fine.

I'll do adjustments if the not-even-size patches got into trouble when modeling the project.

I just simply copy and paste and the resulting shape to form the bottom part.

(I don't want to do the steps all over again for three more times!😧)

So, that's all for the bottom and it took 4 parts to complete.

(Which is quite good for a newbie😏)

{💤Going to sleep now or else I can't get up tomorrow.😂}

The Corners of the World: Eiffel Tower [Part 3]

Hello,

This is the third part of the Eiffel Tower I'm working for my The Corners of the World Series.

I afraid that it takes more that 10 parts to complete this since as a 3Ds Max newbie I usually stuck or ruin things, and I, want this series that I longed to do since the middle of the year to be perfect, so sometime I need to work a day to fix even a tiny mistake.😰 I hoped you all can be patient about this.👍

(Well, I wonder why I'm challenging myself to do this 😂)

Before trying and failing a thousand times, I got an idea to do this job easier, thanks to my brain.

I made an arc and Extrude it to make it go through the "bridge".

Then applied Shell on it to make it thicker.

Then use the Boolean to cut a "hole" in the "bridge".

{Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep, but my dad still try to chase me in.(try to get me into my room and sleep😂)}

{So Good Night and Sweet Dreams🌙}

{Try to sing the line with the music of Counting Stars. 😂}

The Corners of the World: Eiffel Tower [Part 2]

Hi,

This is the second part of the Eiffel Tower I'm working for my The Corners of the World Series.

Using the Taper, I managed to get the blocks curved to form the basic shape.

But, I feel something's not right.

(Detective Conan fans get the joke, it's the first line of one the theme songs of Detective Conan. It's name is Destiny.)

So I search online again and get a clear image of the Eiffel Tower in real life.

The bottom of the tower is way more wider than the model I made.

So, I deleted the taper modifier and started again referring to the picture.

(I guess I'll screw up everything without a picture of that thing in real life.😂 )

(Yeah, I just realize that I can use emoji in my blog beside in Hangouts.😂)

Getting the "legs" in place in all views.

Making a "bridge" so I can make the arc in the middle of the bottom part.

{Again, it's nighttime here, and I'm going to sleep.Good Night and Sleep Dreams.😴}
