Space Ship: Step 04

In this segment, you will learn one the most often used techniques in 3d modeling - sub-object modeling. You will take a primitive shape and convert it into a collection of "objects", vertices, edges and polygons, which can be manipulated individually. This is how you can make a spaceship, or a dragon, or a car, or anything else from a simple cube. As always, you will learn much more about animation, lighting, cameras and textures, at the same time. Enjoy!

Your learning goals for this project are:

• know how to convert an object into an editable poly
• know how to use the quad menu
• be able to connect, extrude, bevel and inset
• be able to edit in polygon, edge and vertex mode
• know how to make a multi-subobject material
• know how to apply a map to the environment
• be able to apply a lens effect to a light

In order to get full credit, your project must meet the following requirements

• The scene must be properly rendered into a video file, as instructed in the tutorial
• All scene components must be present and working properly
• Your scene must contain materials and lights, all working correctly.
