1
00:00:00,466 --> 00:00:00,866
Now let's

2
00:00:00,866 --> 00:00:04,133
work on the spokes and I think we can
maybe just create one

3
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:08,000
and then duplicate it on around.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,433
And it looks like it's
got a little cylinder on the bottom here

5
00:00:12,166 --> 00:00:15,800
and then a bend here
on what I'm going to call the top.

6
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:20,766
So let's use our curve tool for that.

7
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:23,500
I'm going to take these
and let's give these names.

8
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:26,500
This is just the tire here.

9
00:00:26,666 --> 00:00:30,166
This is the wheel outer

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,500
and this can be the wheel inner for now.

11
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:37,033
Let's hide these.

12
00:00:37,033 --> 00:00:40,000
I'll hide the reference images as well.

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,166
Let's do that.

14
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:44,166
Take the cursor back to the center
of the grid with shift us one

15
00:00:44,766 --> 00:00:49,200
and then let's just go to the top view
with the seven key

16
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:53,900
and let's press shift a curve and a path.

17
00:00:54,366 --> 00:00:59,166
So for this, I think we really just need
to bend it a bit.

18
00:00:59,166 --> 00:01:02,033
Let's bring this in and bend it like this.

19
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:03,900
We could take

20
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:07,933
this and move it forward
and maybe move this one up too.

21
00:01:07,933 --> 00:01:11,600
So we're getting a little bit
tighter of a curve.

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,166
Let's take this and move it in like this
and then maybe

23
00:01:15,166 --> 00:01:18,466
take this and hit E and extrude out here
like this.

24
00:01:18,466 --> 00:01:19,633
Let's try that.

25
00:01:19,633 --> 00:01:22,900
So that I think generally
has the right shape.

26
00:01:23,866 --> 00:01:27,466
We will need to come down here
to the properties

27
00:01:27,466 --> 00:01:30,733
panels right here,
the object data properties.

28
00:01:31,466 --> 00:01:34,900
And let's well,
let's take this down to three.

29
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:37,200
Let's see how that works

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,800
and let's scrolled down to the Bevel
section and click and drag in the depth,

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800
hold the shift
key down to move a little slower.

32
00:01:46,433 --> 00:01:51,333
Now we can press shift Z and see what it's
going to look like when we convert it

33
00:01:51,333 --> 00:01:55,633
to a polygon, see what the polygons
are going to look like here.

34
00:01:55,966 --> 00:01:57,933
And that's probably okay. I think.

35
00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:00,433
So let's

36
00:02:00,433 --> 00:02:04,400
right click on it and choose convert
and convert to a mesh.

37
00:02:04,933 --> 00:02:07,033
There we go. Now we've got that.

38
00:02:07,033 --> 00:02:13,100
Let's come down here to the other end
and let's add an edge with control.

39
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,700
R And with that edge
there, let's hit the three key

40
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:21,900
alt click these faces right here
and then let's

41
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:27,000
hit the E key and press enter
and then press alt s to pull these out.

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Just a bit like that.

43
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:30,733
There we go.

44
00:02:30,733 --> 00:02:33,400
So now we've got this kind of shape.

45
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,400
Let's smooth it.

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,300
That cleans that up a little bit.

47
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:43,200
And then I think I'm going to move
the origin of the object to this point

48
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:43,800
up here.

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,866
Let's select these edges
right here and press shift this to

50
00:02:48,433 --> 00:02:53,166
and then let's right click
go to set origin and Origin to 3D cursor.

51
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,733
Now we can turn and scale and rotate
from that point.

52
00:02:57,733 --> 00:03:01,300
I think that'll be helpful as we try
and put this in the wheel here.

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,200
All right.

54
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,766
So let's now bring back

55
00:03:06,133 --> 00:03:09,266
our wheel inner outer and tire,

56
00:03:11,133 --> 00:03:13,633
and let's see if we can get this in place.

57
00:03:13,633 --> 00:03:17,866
So I'll go to the side view again
and hit the G key

58
00:03:17,866 --> 00:03:21,333
and let's move this over, scale it down
quite a bit.

59
00:03:21,966 --> 00:03:23,900
I guess we need to rotate it in the Z.

60
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:28,700
Let's do that r090
That brings it out like that.

61
00:03:29,233 --> 00:03:35,133
And then we could rotated
around the yry9 to zero and there we go.

62
00:03:35,166 --> 00:03:38,000
All right, so let's begin.

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Where should we begin?

64
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,533
I guess Let's begin in here
on this piece in here.

65
00:03:43,433 --> 00:03:46,433
And while we're here,
let's just scale this down

66
00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:49,533
like that.

67
00:03:49,533 --> 00:03:51,300
Let's then hit the period key

68
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:54,300
and move this in to here,

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,733
go back to the side view,
and then we're going to need to tilt it.

70
00:03:57,733 --> 00:04:00,733
So let's hit our tilt it.

71
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:04,433
Let's move it in with the G key like that,

72
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:06,666
and then let's

73
00:04:06,666 --> 00:04:09,666
scale this up so it connects like that.

74
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,800
Now I feel like that's too thin, right?

75
00:04:13,433 --> 00:04:16,433
I feel like these
have a little bit more thickness to them.

76
00:04:16,866 --> 00:04:20,133
So let's tab and edit mode hit that a key

77
00:04:20,133 --> 00:04:24,333
and let's use alt s again,
see if we can bring these out.

78
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:27,333
So they're a little bit better like this.

79
00:04:27,566 --> 00:04:29,366
Let's try that.

80
00:04:29,366 --> 00:04:31,200
We're not really going to know,
I don't think,

81
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,200
until we get at least one row around here.

82
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,966
So I guess let's start working on that
and it looks like we're going to need one

83
00:04:37,966 --> 00:04:41,133
row with it bent this way and another

84
00:04:41,133 --> 00:04:44,133
row with it bent the other way.

85
00:04:44,366 --> 00:04:46,100
And the same thing up here.

86
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,433
We're going to need a fewer number
of them up in front.

87
00:04:49,433 --> 00:04:52,766
But one row is bent one way
and the other is bent the other way.

88
00:04:52,766 --> 00:04:58,266
So it looks like four different
rows bent in different ways.

89
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,833
All right.

90
00:05:00,833 --> 00:05:02,966
Let's find the center of this piece here.

91
00:05:02,966 --> 00:05:04,033
There it is.

92
00:05:04,033 --> 00:05:05,666
And let's move the cursor to it.

93
00:05:05,666 --> 00:05:10,100
Shift us two,
and then let's take this object now

94
00:05:10,466 --> 00:05:14,566
and move that origin into the 3D cursor
so we can right

95
00:05:14,566 --> 00:05:20,000
click choose set origin origin
to 3D cursor, or now when we turn it,

96
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,100
we can hit our X, It's going to rotate
around that point in the center.

97
00:05:26,633 --> 00:05:32,000
Now we need to add an array modifier
to this, but before we do, let's apply

98
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,566
the scale control
A apply the scale and the rotation.

99
00:05:36,566 --> 00:05:39,566
Let's do that Control A Apply
the rotation.

100
00:05:40,333 --> 00:05:43,266
Now we need something to spin this around.

101
00:05:43,266 --> 00:05:46,700
We need to be able to have an object
in the center

102
00:05:47,066 --> 00:05:52,333
that we can spin to pull
the arrayed spoke around the wheel.

103
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,366
So I think all we need is an empty just.

104
00:05:55,366 --> 00:06:00,166
And an empty is just an object that has
no polygons, that has no mesh to it.

105
00:06:00,633 --> 00:06:03,333
It's just a point in space.

106
00:06:03,333 --> 00:06:08,533
So let's press shift a empty
and I'm going to use plain axes here.

107
00:06:09,033 --> 00:06:11,700
There we go. So that's that's our empty.

108
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:13,200
Here it is here.

109
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,233
All right, So now let's come down here

110
00:06:16,766 --> 00:06:20,333
and add an array
modifier will pull this down.

111
00:06:20,333 --> 00:06:23,700
Add an array Here, let me join this.

112
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:26,133
I'm going to right
click between two windows.

113
00:06:26,133 --> 00:06:28,633
Choose
join area and bring this up like that.

114
00:06:28,633 --> 00:06:30,600
So we have a little more room now.

115
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,466
So now if we take a look at this object
here, we can see we've got two spokes

116
00:06:35,466 --> 00:06:38,733
here, one right after the other,
and we've got a count of two over here.

117
00:06:38,733 --> 00:06:42,966
If we increase the count,
it'll just keep moving out like that.

118
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:46,333
We want it to spin around
that point in the center.

119
00:06:46,333 --> 00:06:50,566
So instead of a relative offset
from that first one,

120
00:06:51,333 --> 00:06:55,200
we want an object offset,
not roll this down

121
00:06:55,633 --> 00:06:59,066
from an object that we choose
and we're going to want that empty.

122
00:06:59,066 --> 00:07:03,500
So I'm going to click on the eyedropper,
click on the empty.

123
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,733
Now, we don't see anything happening
and we've got 13 here.

124
00:07:07,733 --> 00:07:10,433
We should see more spokes than that.

125
00:07:10,433 --> 00:07:13,233
But if we take this empty here

126
00:07:13,233 --> 00:07:16,500
and we spin it in the x axis,
let's see what happens.

127
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:20,333
Are X Now as we spin it around, we can see

128
00:07:20,766 --> 00:07:24,000
those are moving around that center point.

129
00:07:24,533 --> 00:07:26,866
Now, how many do we need?

130
00:07:26,866 --> 00:07:28,100
This is a good question.

131
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:32,466
Let's go to the side view
and maybe up here

132
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,633
we'll turn on the reference images

133
00:07:35,633 --> 00:07:39,900
and let's see how many we need.

134
00:07:40,333 --> 00:07:44,800
I'm going to go back to that modifier
by clicking on the spokes.

135
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,133
And let's click on this count here

136
00:07:49,266 --> 00:07:52,833
and let's see, does that look about right?

137
00:07:53,566 --> 00:07:56,100
We can, of course, click on the empty

138
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:59,200
and rotated in the x some more,

139
00:07:59,833 --> 00:08:03,600
but if we go too far, it'll begin
overlapping itself.

140
00:08:04,866 --> 00:08:08,766
Let's select the spokes again
and we've got a count of 24

141
00:08:09,033 --> 00:08:11,666
and that looks pretty good.

142
00:08:11,666 --> 00:08:13,866
So if we flipped these

143
00:08:13,866 --> 00:08:18,100
with another 24, would that fill that
in the way we're seeing here?

144
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,333
Well, we can try it going in the other
direction.

145
00:08:21,333 --> 00:08:25,000
Let's duplicate this shift to enter.

146
00:08:25,633 --> 00:08:28,666
I'm going to pull back in the x axis
just a bit like this

147
00:08:28,666 --> 00:08:31,666
and it's going to do weird things
and that's okay.

148
00:08:32,366 --> 00:08:35,433
It's going to bring that back like this
and then take away the array

149
00:08:35,433 --> 00:08:36,966
modifier on this.

150
00:08:36,966 --> 00:08:37,766
There we go.

151
00:08:37,766 --> 00:08:41,366
So here's that one
that we just duplicate it off.

152
00:08:42,333 --> 00:08:43,066
Let's take

153
00:08:43,066 --> 00:08:46,133
this and spin it around in the y axis.

154
00:08:46,133 --> 00:08:46,966
Let's try this.

155
00:08:46,966 --> 00:08:50,266
Let's press ry1 80

156
00:08:50,966 --> 00:08:53,500
and now we've got it going this way.

157
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,933
So if we take this now and hit

158
00:08:55,933 --> 00:08:58,933
the R key and rotate it,

159
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,700
can we get it to a place
that we're seeing like this?

160
00:09:03,966 --> 00:09:05,400
Yeah, let's try that.

161
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,400
So I'm going to bring this in here

162
00:09:08,666 --> 00:09:11,300
a little bit tighter in there.

163
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:11,700
All right.

164
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,400
So now we've got it
going in the other direction.

165
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,366
Now we just need to do the same thing
again,

166
00:09:17,366 --> 00:09:21,366
adding an array modifier
and spinning it around based on an empty.

167
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:22,633
But the problem is, is

168
00:09:22,633 --> 00:09:26,700
we don't want to use this empty
