Final Product What You'll Be Creating
Step 1
First we create a Cylinder with 18 Sides and 40 Height Segments, and Convert it to Editable Poly by Right clicking and choosing Convert to > Convert to Editable Poly. After that select the edges loops shown Below.
Click To EnlargeStep 2
In the Modifier panel, under the Edit Geometry rollout. Check the Edge constraint option and rotate the edges around 25 degrees.
Click To EnlargeStep 3
Select the polygons shown in the picture and extrude them outwards.
Click To EnlargeStep 4
Select the polygon loops between the loops we extruded in the previous step, and extrude them outward with the same height amount.
Click To EnlargeStep 5
Now delete the top and bottom polygons of the cylinder, so we have holes on the top and bottom. After that add a Turbosmooth modifier and set the Iterations to 2.
Click To EnlargeStep 6
Create a new Box and Convert it to Editable Poly (Right Click > Convert To > Convert To Editable Poly.) Select the front polygon and extrude it out and then Scale it on the X axis as shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 7
Add two new Edge Loops as shown in the picture.
Click To EnlargeStep 8
Extrude the side polygon outward and add another Edge Loop through the center, as shown below.
Click To EnlargeStep 9
Tweak the vertices as shown to create an angle on the side. Select the bottom polygon and Inset it, then extrude it down. The result should look like the picture below.
Click To EnlargeStep 10
Add two new Edge Loops on the top, and two more Loops on the bottom of the shape.
Click To EnlargeStep 11
Select the polygons between the loops we just created and extrude them inwards.
Click To EnlargeStep 12
Add two loops in each of the places shown in the picture below, with a pinch value of 70.
Click To EnlargeStep 13
Add more vertical loops with pinch value of 70 in the places shown below, so we can avoid errors in the mesh when we later add our Turbosmooth.
Click To EnlargeStep 14
We need to keep only one loop in the center in order for our shape to be oval when we smooth it. Therefore we’ll add two more loops at the top and bottom with a Slide value of 90 and -90.
Click To EnlargeStep 15
Now Add a Turbosmooth and set the Iterations to 2.
Click To EnlargeStep 16
Create a new cylinder with 60 sides and place it as shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 17
Next Create two Tubes and set the Inner Radius to be the same as the Radius of our Cylinder. Then convert one of them to Editable Poly and from the Edit Geometry menu, and attach both Tubes together using Attach. Then select the three polygons on each Tube that face each other, and from the Edit Polygons menu, choose Bridge. If there is anything wrong like twisting etc. you can fix it with the twist option in the Bridge menu.
Click To EnlargeStep 18
Next Add new Edges Loops as shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 19
Add a Turbosmooth modifier and set the Iterations to 2, and place the element in the center of the two cylinders.
Click To EnlargeStep 20
Create new Box and Convert it to Editable Poly. After that add two Edge Loops and Extrude the polygons as shown in the picture. Then tweak the vertices so the shape looks like this.
Click To EnlargeStep 21
Add more Loops as shown, in order to have a nice shape after we add a Turbosmooth.
Click To EnlargeStep 22
Delete the top polygons, because they won’t be visible. And add a Turbosmooth with the Iterations set to 2, and place it on the top of our cylinders.
Click To EnlargeStep 23
Create another new Cylinder and click the “Auto Grid” option in order for the cylinder to be created on the same plane as the surface below it. Convert it to Editable Poly and Inset it six times with the same value.
Click To EnlargeStep 24
Extrude the rings of polygons inwards, as shown. And move the center polygon a bit inward as well using the Move tool.
Click To EnlargeStep 25
Select the edge loops shown and Chamfer them with a low value (Edit Edges> Chamfer). Select the center polygon and Inset it once again. Then Delete the back polygon which we won’t be able to see.
Click To EnlargeStep 26
Once again Add a Turbosmooth modifier and set the Iterations to 2.
Click To EnlargeStep 27
Create a new Box, convert it to Editable Poly and Extrude the four side polygons outward. Then scale the sides down as shown in the picture (without changing the height.)
Click To EnlargeStep 28/h3>
Now Using Connect with the following settings: Segments 2, Pinch 90. Add new Edge Loops as shown, in order to get nice corners when we add Turbosmooth.
Click To EnlargeStep 29
Add Turbosmooth with the Iterations set to 2 and place the Box as shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 30
Create another new Cylinder with 18 sides. Convert it to Editable Poly, select the top and the bottom polygons, and Inset them.
Click To EnlargeStep 31
Once again Inset the top polygon with a lower value, and then one more time with a higher value.
Click To EnlargeStep 32
Select and extrude the polygons as shown in the picture below.
Click To EnlargeStep 33
Select the bottom polygon, extrude it downward and then delete it (because we are not going to see it in the final model.)
Click To EnlargeStep 34
We are going to use Chamfer with a low value and the Connect Edge Segments set to 2, to get a nice shape when we smooth the element.
Click To EnlargeStep 35
Add a Turbosmooth with the Iterations set to 2 and create a new Box. Convert the box into Editable Poly and add a new loop as shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 36
Scale the front polygon down a bit and add 2 new edge loops on each side – Segments set to 2, Pinch 80.
Click To EnlargeStep 37
Add a Turbosmooth modifier – Iterations 2. Then go to the Hierarchy Panel > Adjust Pivot > Affect Pivot Only and copy the X, Y, Z values of the cylinder and paste them onto the box element. Next go to the Tools menu and choose Array…In the Array dialog, go to Rotate Totals and click on the > icon next to “Rotate”, and type 360 into the Axis degrees box. Under the Array Dimensions > Count, type 9 in the 1D field and hit OK. Then select the elements and group them (Group menu > Group.) Finally rotate the elements and place them in the right location as shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 38
Make three copies of the wheel and place them as shown. Scale up each one so the result looks like this.
Click To EnlargeStep 39
Delete the top polygons of the top wheel. Using Shift+drag and Shift+Scale, inset and extrude the edges to create the shape shown below.
Click To EnlargeStep 40
Add a Chamfer to the edges and then add a Turbosmooth modifier- with the Iterations set to 2.
Click To EnlargeStep 41
Make a new Sphere with 60 segments, and a diameter that will match the size of the hole in the wheel.
Click To EnlargeStep 42
Create a new Cylinder with 18 sides, convert it to Editable Poly and Inset the front and back polygons.
Click To EnlargeStep 43
Delete the center polygons on the front and back, as well as most of the other polygons. So we only have the polygons shown in the picture remaining. Also tweak the verticies to match the shape shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 44
Add three more edge loops as shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 45
Tweak the vertices once again, and then using shift + drag create the polygons in the middle. Then again tweak the vertices so you get a similar shape to what’s shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 46
Again using Shift + drag add two more segments as shown.
Click To EnlargeStep 47
Add one more segment in the center and keep tweaking the vertices until you get this result.
Click To EnlargeStep 48
Because of the lack of detail, Delete the entire back side. Select the front polygons and using the Bevel tool create the details shown below on the selected polygons. The outer edges should be tweaked to get a edge like shape on the blade.
Click To EnlargeStep 49
Select the border edges and using shift + drag move it to the back in order to create an edge close to the front edge. Repeat the Shift + drag once more and then choose – Make Planar under the Edit Geometry rollout to straighten the back edges.
Click To EnlargeStep 50
Add new edge loops using Connect with the Segments set to 2, and the Pinch set to 80 (in the places shown in the image below.)
Click To EnlargeStep 51
Then add an addition edge loop as shown below using Connect, Segments set to 1 and Slide set to 80, and -80 for the bottom part.
Click To EnlargeStep 52
Finally add a Symmetry modifier and then a Turbosmooth modifier with 2 Iterations.
