PROJECT NAME: Robotic Arm
Software Used: Blender
Objective:
Model a functional robotic arm using Blender tools like extrude, inset, loop cut, and bevel.
Design intricate details such as joints, pistons, and a hydraulic system.
Rig the robotic arm for smooth and realistic movement.
Apply materials and textures for a polished final appearance.
Enhance the arm with animation constraints for dynamic operation.
Export the final design for presentation or 3D printing.
Sample Vector Landscape Design:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1 Create the Base Structure
Circular Base:
∑ Open a new Blender file. Delete default objects (A X).
∑ Add a circle: Shift + A Mesh Circle.
∑ Enter Edit Mode (Tab), press F to fill the circle, then E to extrude upwards.
∑ Press I to inset the top face, then move it upwards (G Z).
∑ Center the cursor to the base: Shift + S Cursor to Selected.
Base Block:
∑ Add a plane: Shift + A Mesh Plane.
∑ Scale it down (S), switch to edge select mode (2), and extrude two edges along the
X-axis.
∑ Bevel corners: Ctrl + Shift + B.
∑ Extrude faces along normals: Alt + E Extrude Faces Along Normals.
Step 2 Design the Upper Arm
Initial Shape:
∑ Add a cube: Shift + A Mesh Cube.
