How to Make a Pencil in Blender
|
|
STEP 1 |
|
|
Start in Top
View with 3 vertices as shown and Spin the mesh in Front View. The extra vertex in the
middle is to make it easier to color the pencil lead. |
|
STEP 2 |
|
 |
After
spinning rotate the mesh as in this Front & Side View. |
|
STEP 3 |
|
 |
Select these
2 vertices in the front of the pencil and extrude them back then connect the 2 vertices
with the FKEY. |
|
STEP 4 |
|
 |
Now for the
tricky part, zoom in on the spot where the 3D cursor is in this step. |
|
STEP 5 |
|
 |
You need to
move 2 vertices at a time so they line up where they would be on a well sharpened pencil. |
|
STEP 6 |
|
 |
Get the idea?
When done select the 2 vertices on the back and all 7 of the 'arch' vertices and make
faces with SHIFT+F. |
|
STEP 7 |
|
 |
In front view
Spin Dup with all vertices selected then remove doubles with WKEY_4 ( or click 'Remove
Doubles' from the pop-up menu) |
|
STEP 8 |
|
 |
To make the
metal part that holds the eraser just make a little mesh like this and spin it. |
|
STEP 9 |
|
 |
For the
eraser I choose to Spin a Surface>>Curve so I can distort it. Just like a Mesh, make
the curve in Top View and Spin in Front View. |
|
STEP 10 |
|
 |
Move some of
the knots around and make the eraser look a little used. Convert to a mesh if you wish
with ALT+C |
 |
Cheesy, isn't it !
