Series: Modeling a Shipping Container part 04

by Jonathan Williamson

In the final part of this Blender 2.5 video tutorial series we finish modeling our shipping container. This final section covers the detail modeling of the front locking mechanism, finishing the top, side, and back panels and other various tidbits as needed.

    The arraymodifier on the poles was set to a relative offset and thats why the distance between them was to big after making the fatter pieces (don’t know how they’re called)

    Hi Jonathan,

    Nice tut as always. It is good to see that I am not the only one who runs into issues while modeling :) .

    Well, I think, you totally misunderstood the way the closing mechanism works. Those handles and the poles shouldn’t move up and down. They needs to be rotated only. Though, I haven’t used such things, nor see them closely.

    I’ve found an easy way to select creased edges. Select one of them, SHIFT+G (select similar) and choose crease from the menu.

    Keep up the good work. This site is golden (or even diamond :) ).

    I’d like to see how you texture this container as well. This is where I usually stuck.

    All the best!
