Week 2 Lab 2 Part 3


Process

Cardboard Box Exercise 1
Cardboard Box Exercise 2

To me, I find this exercise is extremely challenging. I spent a lot of time trying to do this model, as there are a lot of steps are required and is very tedious. At first, I have a hard time understanding the instructions but after a number of times of try and error, I finally got it right!

After setting the dimension, we have to extrude the top center face to create the interior then extrude the perimeter faces to create the box flaps. To make the box flaps to look more realistic, we use a procedure called pick-walking to select the vertices in the flaps for rotating. Then change the location of the pivot point and rotate the flap to an open position. After that, split the sides into several sections to create a bent look to the flaps. Next, add some bends to the flaps to make it look more real and then add complexity and soften the edges using the smooth command.

The last step of the cardboard exercise is to make the cardboard look old, to achieve that we just have to add a wave deformer to simulate age by bending the sides.
