Models - Typewriter

As with every other model, the trusty box was the starting point. The polygons of this box were then deleted in order to form a basic shell for the typewriter. Once the basic shape was formed the polygons and vertexes were then fine tuned to form rounded edges and other similar details.

After the shell of the typewriter was complete, it was then time to fill it with all the typewriter-y bits. These started as a simple box that was moulded into the curves of the top/front of the model. This was again achieved through editing the vertexes.

Once the body of the model was in place and shaped properly, the roller was inserted. This was a cylinder the every other polygon on one end extruded inwards to form a cog. Then to make a change in the texturing the next row of polygons had their texturing number changed so that it formed a seam between this row and the ones next to it.

Finally the tray at the back was formed in a similar way to the wires in the previous two models.

The knobs and wheels were also added in a similar way to the ones in the previous models. Thankfully the potentially most time-consuming part of this model, the keybourd had already been done and could just be imported from the Enigma Machine model and placed.


When applying textures to this model it followed a similar patteren to the previous constructions as they all used reasonably simialr materials.
