Week 10 - 2nd December to 8th December 2013

Tron Bike (revisited)

4.5 degrees in the y axis did the trick. I started with a simple 12 section cylinder for the inner grey core

A bit of scaling, extrusion and here we go:


It was as I was trying to close up the right end of the tube that I realised it was no longer circular. Ah yes that trick of making your edge-loops turn a corner - done here to the left of the protruding sections, but not yet to the right.
