The Creation
With this project we were tasked with creating a salt shaker and a cup. This was actually much easier then I thought it would be. It was because of two new concepts introduced known as "lofting" and "revolving".
Revolving
Revolving is a tool used in combination with other tools to rotate a shape around itself. This may sound really complicated but its actually very simple. Using a curve creation tool, I went into 2d view to create an outline for my cup. After I did this I used revolve and that line was formed into a cup. Thats it. It sounds like an expert technique but you just press a button.Lofting
Lofting is another tool similar to revolve but functions differently. Instead of rotating around the object it adds polygons in-between objects. The way I used this was I created multiple shapes with the bezier curve tool and duplicated them. I then stacked all the shapes on top of one another leaving a bit of space in-between so that polygons could fit in the spaces. It then created the saltshaker base! After this I did a couple of basic techniques to create the cap.
