Congratulations! You
have completed the joystick model and have gained experience in
using curves and then surface tools to build freeform shapes.
Important concepts to
take forward to future modeling projects are:
- On a curve, a minimum of 4 CVs are needed
to create the curve. Adding more CVs means that the curve can have
a more complex shape.
- Construction history means that you can
modify the shape of a surface by changing the curves it was built
from.
- Alternatively, you can turn on the CV
display for the surface and modify the surface CVs directly to change
the surface shape.
- The Control Panel can
be used to display or hide the CVs of a curve or surface.
- It is good practice to turn off the CVs
on objects that aren’t being modified, to reduce the complexity
of the view on the screen.
- Regularly save your work!
