by Jonathan Williamson

In this Blender 2.5 video tutorial we model a shipping container as a hard-surface modeling exercise.

This second section covers the initial creation of the door panels, hinges, and some tweaking around the model.

    Excellent tutorial. Just one thing regarding messing up offset in array of hinges, I think it happened at 26:30 when u made that weld joint (u changed hinge size in Z direction).

      Yes because the Z size changed but it didn’t decrease the gap between each piece of the array so the gap got larger. I got it pretty perfect on mine with entering 6.53066

    Nice tutorial, as always :) The issue with Alt+D… I think it’s a bug: the rest of the duplicates are only actualised when you exit from the editing mode ;)

    Great as always! If it was not for your tutorials I would have given up on Blender. Thanks for all the help.

    What software do you use to capture/record these lessons? The quality if very good, and I want to recommend the software to people I work with for our internal training purposes. (This is a non-blender usage, but rather for a web-based data system we are adopting.)

    Thanks.

      Hi Jerry,

      I use Camtasia Studio from http://techsmith.com for all recording and editing. It works great!

    Nice tutorial, it teached me alot about hard surface modeling. Btw I also had the same problem with the hinges at the end, haha
