For this assignment, I decided to learn SolidWorks because that is the main software that my engineering sister uses to create mathematically precise models, and I wanted to know more about how this software works. Usually I use Blender to create my models and animations, so using SolidWorks was a challenge that I am proud of rising to!
I followed this tutorial to complete the trophy model shown below. There were times this tutorial was hard to follow because he doesn't explain every move he makes, so I enlisted the help and supervision of my sister to finish this model. Furthermore, as a designer for the entertainment sector, I usually do not deal in dimensions or measurements, but trying to be mathematically precise here was enlightening in its own way. Everything from this video is new to me, so it was very rewarding when I completely finished it!
