Figure 6.102
Place the first wheel.
Figure 6.103
Duplicate and place the other three wheels.
14. After you've placed the wheels, freeze their transforms: select the four top wheel
nodes, and choose Modify Freeze Transformations. Doing so sets the transform
values for the wheel nodes to 0 in translation and rotation and 1 in scale without
altering them in any way.
Because the axles of the wheels aren't very noticeable, there is no need to build them.
Simply placing the wheels close to the body in the correct positions will suffice. Now you
have a wagon that can roll; and, if you have a kid, you know it'll end up rolling over your
toes pretty soon. The red wagon is really starting to take shape. Enjoy a frosty beverage—
perhaps a smoothie—save your work, and get ready to finish this wagon in the next
sections.
You may want to load the scene file RedWagonModel_v06.ma from the Scenes folder of the
RedWagon project on the CD to check your work or to skip to this point. You'll move on
to the wooden railings in the next section.
Modeling the Wood Railings
Remember Figure 6.17? Take a peek at that figure again; I'll wait. You'll see that all that
remains to do for your model are the wood railings placed around the four sides of the
wagon.
