Hey what is up nation, in this session I'm going to teach you how to model an
exploded isometric diagram.
I found this exploded drawing of a... like a jewelry box online I'm just going to
import it to my drawing here.
So I'm just going to drag and drop that.
Then move it. Now the trick here is I'm going to right click and set 'use this material'.
And delete this face. Make a... 'R' to make a rectangular face. Then hit the
left arrow so I can draw on this axes here.
'ESC' and then if you don't have these trays open you just want to go to 'window'>
'default tray' and this will say 'show tray' instead of 'hide tray'. The two things
we'll be using today are 'materials' and 'scene' so you want to make sure you have those
two checked.
Once you have that open now you want to go down to materials and hit select
and then if you have anything else selected just make sure you have 'in
model' and it'll show that texture we just made.
So I hit 'B' to... and then select this and then paint my material. The key to
this is that you need to go to 'camera' and change this to 'parallel projection'.
You can use photo match for anything that's perspective based but for this
it's an isometric drawing so it uses a 'parallel projection' so you can't use
photo match for this which is why we're not using it. Now we're gonna cheat a
little bit to get what we want. Shrink this teeny tiny bit.
And then when I go to texture here I'm going go to 'position'. You get these little pins
here. If you quick click... So just a really fast single click, you can
pick up these pins and move them so that's what I'm going to do. Just a quick
click for all of these say let me go
to the outside you can see this box here has projection lines so you can see what
lines are attached to what other line so if I select these these four points here
they're on the same plane so that's why I'm selecting those and hopefully your
drawing will have something like that as well
four points that are in the same plane that's what you want so remove this
you're going to move this red one first the scale this guy
looks like he's a little bit awesome just gonna move him a little bit
and there oops
we're here only matters for the first
okay so now what I want to do is I want to rotate why this has this sort of
ghosted look I want to rotate so that mines lineup
make sure that this green comes across here
then I right-click here and hit done I'm gonna go to scenes hit the plus sign
I hate how it sorta I hate the animation uncheck that and then expand this so I'm
going to select these lines here and I hit em to move and just moving
this line
you you
make sure you're not going off the axis like that just was
go back to your materials go to edit here and I'm going to change the opacity
then make this group here so I can see through this
just for kicks and hide the edges they don't want to see those right now now
I'm going to it are and start to draw
if that and you want to use common sense when you're doing this so these are
together so bring that up to here and I can extrude this out and then when it
stops there stop modeling
and these two are the same but this piece slides over
the cool thing that you can actually make a peace
you see that
you
but if taking this back so you can like select stuff outside of the view and
then double-click to go back to your
your view and then move
this guy
you
as seumas's maybe coupled
you
I can slip is it a push pulling I can select this face and move and then just
move it you access
oops
and now I'm just gonna speed this up because it's pretty straight forward
from here on
and of course you could always add shadows at this point
so you have a little different look and I would always recommend triple clicking
grouping all these things up
