This first Sketch is my family name written in the same font as the ford logo. The concept behind this is that my great grandfather worked as a car detailer his entire life for a ford dealership in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

While constructing the model i utilized mostly solid tools to drop in pyramids, truncated pyramids and rectilinear boxes. I also made good use of the "BooleanDifference" command to subtract shapes in order to create the openings of the buildings and the desired shapes i required to make the Mayan temple. This model was a challenge as I had just grasped a beginners tool set of Rhino and my copy of the program has no virtual render materials sadly. Though with the help of  Lynda.com and the in-class lecture I was able to navigate the basics of the CAD program to create this model. (drawing view) (e...
