Track Modelling

Similar to the Bucket assignment, using the CV curve tool, trace out the template of the track. However, instead of revolving, we extrude the base shape, extending it until it looks like a track. A further extruding of the underside front two faces followed by bevel completes the straight track.
For the curved track, we use the bend tool, setting curvature to 1. After which, by setting "rotate X" to -90, we gave our straight track a curve.
Technique
The technique used here is similar to that of the bucket assignment, however, instead of revolving , we extend.
Something new however is the bend tool, which allows us to curve a selected object, preferably a straight object, bending it into a curve.
Reflection
Of the Modelling assignments given to use lately, I would have to say that this is by far the easiest as the steps were extremely clear and simple. I had practically no problems completing this assignment and actually completed it quite quickly.
