Week 3 Lab 2

Train Track

To do the train track, we have to outline it first. The first step is to create a polygonal plane and after setting the parameters, we hold the right-click option and choose Assign New Material, click on lambert from the menu, next to the color option, click on the file and open the train track image provided from the source image folder. Then, normalize the UVs to centered the image correctly on the plane.

The second step is to outline the train track image by using the polygon tool. Next, extrude and bevel the train track to make it look more 3D. Then by using edge loop tool,  it will divide the train track equally so that we are able to see the lines. This step required techniques more of extrude and bevel.

The last step will be, deformers. By doing this step, I can bend the train track whichever angle I want. 

Washboard

For the washboard, the techniques used are quite similar as to the train track. It is mainly extrude and bevel. One of the step "Extrude the new faces to create the ribs.", remind me of one of the exercises we did previous, which is the Week 2 Lab 2 Part 2 (Gears), where we also have to use the exact technique (extrude). 

The more challenging part of this exercise is to align the parts together. At the start, I faced some problem in doing it, but after I consult my friend, I am able to do it.

I added in colours to the washboard by right click on the washboard then select assign new material and choose lambert then I choose the colours I want. The color I close are close to a washboard as well, to make it more realistic.
