Exercise 3: Lemon Squeezer modeling
Date: September 2nd, 2020
Objective:
Only using a picture of a lemon squeezer, recreate the object in Maya using a variety of modeling tools.
Solution:
Using patented eyeball scanners imbedded in my face, a model for a lemon squeezer was generated. Form is similar and function is virtual, meaning this model is virtually similar. Behold.
Step 1: Create the primitive with sufficient divisions to create all of the necessary features.
Step 2: Hollow out the cylinder by selecting edges and manipulating them into approximate positions.
Step 3: Form the central juicer area with more edge or vertex manipulations, then select every other edge to move inward to create the ridges.
Step 4: Make the bottom edge by inserting edge loops and moving them inwards.
Step 5: Select points on one edge then manipulate out and down until a pour spout is formed.
