TUTORIALS
More Boolean Operations

12. We're very close now. Rotate your deck arm into the right position, but don't rotate it down yet. The final modelling step is to create the headshell for the stylus. Depending on what you want will depend on how you go about this step, but it is basically more boolean operations. This step is hard to explain so I'll just put a few pics and you can see basically what was done. Your headshell doesn't have to be very spectacular, just recognisable. After it's complete, put it in the correct position at the end of the deck arm and rotate it to suit. Now select the whole deck arm and head shell and rotate it downward slightly. You are now finished!!!

Well that's it! The next task is to texture the deck, but that is another tutorial. Sorry if it felt rushed toward the end, but after remaking that deck three times from scratch, I'm kind of glad to see the back of it :) Anyway I hope this helped. Any problems can be sent to [email protected].
