Aircraft build - Under carrage

Tyres
standard primatives - cone - size using reference planes

Editable poly - edge - loop select both sides - scale - drag inwards

Turbo smooth

Select edge - loop - select second loop - scale in


















Wheels

Cylinder - line up geometry with tyre - hide tyre - [height segments 1] [cap segments 3]

Editable poly - select edge - loop - scale

Select poly - move geometry backwards - FIND OUT DOESNT WORK - REPEAT PROCESS USING CAP SEGMENTS 5

Repeat process - next slide showing intended result with materials + turbo smooth + attached to tyre

Tools - mirror - offset 1.0 - y axis - instance (so changes apply to both)

Cylinder to bridge gap - attach

Tools - mirror - add cylinder to bridge gap

Copy - instance

Extend undercarriage support arm up to fuselage. Select polygon that would intersect. 

Extrude - inset - move polygons back into fuselage leaving square tube.

 Remove front / rear sides of tube. Bridge gaps in remaining tube sections. Extend undercarriage arm up into fuselage


















Reposition rear gears to mimic 747 positions. Begin enhancing appearance. Support leg change from single cylinder to larger diameter on top of smaller diameter cylinder (raise cylinder - select bottom polygon - inset - extrude) - create clones and rescale + position to create more realistic appearance

















Select polygons where undercarriage doors would be - this will allow a reference point when flicking between vertex + polygons because selections are saved

















Manipulate vertex to create more accurate door profile.

Detach - extrude for thickness


















Rotate into position
