June Challenge | z1mmnd14 | Noobie
 

I still gonna be a Noobie cos I’m been neglecting Maya recently, and am still learning. When I subscribe (which is as soon as I can get my own debit card) I’ll hopefully progress with the help of some fab videos :)

My idea is from something I saw on some show, I think on Bravo. I remember what it is but not in great detail so I’ll be designing it from scratch, using the basic concept.

This design is a big bike wheel, and the person sits in the wheel itself. The pedals; seat; handlebars; engine; controls and all that stuff are also in the wheel.

I’m calling this either The Bike Wheel or The Wheel. Other suggestions welcome.

Here’s a super quick sketch, I plan on making a much more detailed one before I start modelling tomorrow.

looks nice...
looking forward to see how you model it.

kinda reminds me of something i saw in southpark, i think it was called "it"....:D

"it"...???

Am i just very slow or does that mean somthing? :)

actually its name was "it"... no special hidden massage....just "it"..
here's a pic...you can see why i thought of it

ahhh. I never saw that ep, what does it do?

its from episode 511 - The Entity....its basicly just a high speed vehicle...i would post a picture of how it works...but its pretty disgusting..(unless youre a south park fan ;) like me)

I love SP, but not as much as The Simpsons :)

Oh, my design is also a high speed vechicle, how weird.

And how is it disgusting? (just intrested)

well... u asked for it.......
i dont find it disgusting at all but some people might...
if u get grossed out easily... do yourself a favour and dont click on this:


The IT

hahahahahahaha!

oh you made me laugh :D hahahaha :DDD , you 2 ar great

I started the main frame, here it is unsmoothed. Oh, i dont really know that much about using GI Joe, but how did i do?

c+c would be useful :)

OK, how do i join the two parts in the below image to close the gap?

you could combine them, then merge vertices.

I did select 2 verticies and select merge and it didn't work, so i tried combine and that didn't work ???

You could try doing a boolean union on them. Im a fan of booleans, but dependong on your objects it may not work.
