Part 4 - Connecting the bars

Unfortunately, this is going to be a very looong process. There is almost no way of skipping it, if you want the model to look top-notch, but hopefully the video attached to this article will make your job easier.

Riding on a boat is good, but building one yourself is even better! Welcome to the next chapter in our Grid Tutorial series, where we're going to take a look at how to model a basic boat, made out of polygons. Not only that, but this tutorial will be accompanied by a six-part video tutorial which will follow the entire progress step-by-step.

Part 1 - It all started from a cube

Now it's time to do some more serious modelling. In Chapter 1 we took a look at some of the basic operations and ways to work in a three dimensional environment, but the models we created back there seemed to be a little to simple.
As someone said in the past: "playtime is over!" Let's start building our boat.
