This was a very helpful practice project that has made me much better at using the array and pen tools. I had to trace on a pixelated background of Star Wars designs and fill them in with the pen tool. I started with the logo you see in the top right with the "st", Switching from curved lines to straight lines using the pen tool with these movable widgets that would dictate the path of the bezier curve (mathematical paths formed by the location of different points. the anchors, and the widgets. How the curved paths are placed is that for each anchor point on a curved path, there are two widgets parallel and of equal distance to the anchor point. However, this can be altered by holding the alt key and changing the location of the second widget point. With this knowledge of how the pen tool works, I would go on to complete tracing all of the shapes you see above. As I said earlier, I also used the radial array tool to quickly make all of the symmetrical shapes you see up above, Such as the 2nd one with sextuple symmetry, the fifth one with octuple symmetry, then the 3d, 4th, and 5th all with double symmetry. I did this by making a unique part of the drawing, and then duplicating it using the radial array tool based on its type of symmetry.

AuthorHey there! My name is Ivan Kacvinsky. I am currently taking a Computer modeling and animation course. What I have learned how to do so far in this class is the use of 3DS max. a 3D modeling software that you can render, 3D model and animate in. All of the three things listed are things that I have been taught how to do and have done.
