Week 7: Oddly Satisfying.

I started the day by tidying up the animation, I felt that the wheels were too close to each other, so I moved them apart to give space for the animation to look more satisfying. 

Next was to make the environment, I started off with the slide on which the wheel will move. To create this, I selected the inner faces of the wheel and the same EP curve which was set to a path for the wheel, and then extrude on it. 

I was unhappy with the slide I made, so I started working on it again. This time I used a Pipe and then extruded on the EP curve. To make the slide stand, I extruded the Pipe in the centre.

I didn’t know, what to do with the environment, so I just added walls and thought to texture it and I made a small path for the wheels to roll.

Next, I start working on the UV and I didn’t know that it would take me the whole day to work on only the slide. I had to do this again for the other side as well.

After I got done with the side I started working on the wheels, which was way easier than the slide any day, but the problem was that I had to unripe the UV for 6 wheels and it took some time.
