WCTC 0.2.4: Applying Basic Interactions
This section discusses the following lessons:
-
Introduction to Object Creation:
- Overview of the drop-down menu for creating various objects within WorkLink Create, including empty objects, cubes, cylinders, planes, and spheres.
- Emphasis on the future coverage of cylinders, planes, and spheres.
-
Demonstration: Creating a Stack of Cubes:
- Explanation of a workflow for creating a stack of cubes, resembling a pyramid.
- Demonstration starts with a blank slate and involves creating, duplicating, and renaming cubes systematically.
- Instruction to follow along for hands-on experience with the tool.
-
Alignment and Scaling:
- Usage of duplication, positioning, and scaling to create cubes of different sizes stacked on top of each other.
- Encouragement to use the "alt + right mouse button" to ensure proper alignment and perspective.
-
Parent-Child Relationship:
- Introduction and application of the parent-child relationship using an empty object named "pyramid."
- Renaming each cube (bottom, middle, top) and making them children of the "pyramid" empty object.
-
Managing the Pyramid Structure:
- Utilization of the empty object to move the entire assembly (pyramid) while maintaining the relationship between the cubes.
- Illustration of how the hierarchy helps in organizing and manipulating the elements collectively.
-
Conclusion:
- A quick example demonstrating the practical application of the learned concepts in creating a simple pyramid structure using the objects in WorkLink Create.
