Old Fashion Phone

Old Fashion Phone

I started this task looking at the phone on the VLE and seeing where the best place to start modelling would be to make sure to get the proportions right.

I chose to start from the base upwards as I thought that was the best starting point then id work my way around.

After that I started with the spine starting with a cylinder and moving upwards by extruding it, then I used spheres to create the top center of the spine and duplicated each side.

In order to create the phone I started with a cylinder then extruded it into the shape of the handle shown in the picture.

I then added a sphere on each side then created another cylinder extruding to mould the shapes downwards each side, I then moulded the hearing end of the phone to look like the picture and extruded inwards to create an indent. I had to curve the speaking side of the phone round that was quite difficult getting the angle right.

After that it was time to start on the dial which I started by creating a cylinder and rotating it to the right angle of the phone. 

I then placed another cylinder poking out of the center to start the dial.

After that I made a cylinder deleted the bottom faces until there was only the top faces left, then I selected all of the edges around it and extruded outwards, then deleted the center faces. After that I selected the edges on the inside, extruded downwards and then extruded again and clicked merge to center. Thia is it normal:

This is it smoothed:

And this is the effect it has.

Then after that I worked onto the dial part of the pillar and used the same effect but used a duplicate special, to create a circle of duplicated indents to give it the dial effect.

After this I put it all together and started on the very last piece being the which was the cord. With the cord I started by creating a line using the Cv curve tool then created a helix, and snapped it to the line by using flow path. Then moved the helix up and down using the axis and moved the vertex individually to move at the right angle.
