In the first lesson, we had a quick lesson on the basic way of working with mamma and the creation of basic shapes. For example, a body is created by dividing and deforming a rectangle several times, where extrusion and adding side lines are both very used tools. The wheels are created by first dividing the cylinder by calculation, then extruding the axle inwards and finally turning one wheel into four wheels by duplication.
We then learned to add materials to the shape by adding a sky, a hood to add shadows and ambient light to the car after selecting the metal material in the preset and by constantly adjusting the position of the camera and the angle of the model to make the car look more in tune with the background.
I did a quick run through everything Nick did in week 1 on my computer. During the process, my background image could not be found because I used Chinese in the file name. After the error message fixed the error successfully rendered the Tesla truck again (very rough).
