Modeling Reflection

Looking back on medeling techniques it is easy to identify areas which could have been done differently, or more accurately.

This is the case when looking at my initial method of creating the sprocket. It was brought to my attention that I didn't correctly use a circular form, therefore not creating semi circles between cogs. With the advise from Russell, I remodeled the sprocket teeth as follows:



I created a solid circular extrusion (overall shape of sprocket) and then created a semi circle void extrusion to create the distance between teeth.



I then created a circular pattern of the void extrusion to create the 45 teeth.



Then added a full round fillet to create the rounded shape of the teeth.
