04 - Polygonal and Modification Modelling

I have used the same file as my previous model, but I just went into edit mode and removed the model by simply pressing delete, so I didn’t have to mess with settings such as lighting again, which again makes this more efficient and quick. I pressed shift+A which opened up this menu where I went to mesh and the selected “Cube” as it has the square base we need to create the pyramid.

 I pressed B which put me in select mode where I was able to select the top 4 corners, which allowed me to be able to press alt+M which was the merge tool. I chose the merge to center selection so I would end up with a simple pyramid shape.

I have created rectangles using the cube creator and then I layered them on top of each other to make another type of pyramid.

After that, I created an array type of pyramid by starting with a regular cube. I then changed it so that the cubes extended by 1.1 in the Y direction and I also added the array effect again going -1.1 in the X direction. I made the bottom layer expand by 18 cubes in both the X and Y directions and the then used the hotkeys "Shift+D" to duplicate the same thing and decrease the array to get a pyramid looking shape. I also went into edit mode and pressed z, selected the bottom face and deleted it.

I then selected the bottom single cube and used "Ctrl+R" to get the slicing thing up. I scrolled once so that this happened twice and then I pressed S and Y to expand them out so they were located nearer to the end of the cube. I repeated this the X direction and I also added one near the top of the cube. I selected the top 4 corners while holding shift and then I pressed S to bring them in slowly. I did this in both the "Num 7" and "Num 3" view to get the angle I wanted.
