The Control Panel
You can load the scene file RocketModel_04.ma from the Scenes folder in the Red Rocket project to skip to this point or to check your work. Now let's create the Control panel.
- Choose Create * NURBS Primitives * Sphere □, set the Number of Spans to the default value of 4, and create a sphere.
- Place the sphere where the Control panel is in the top view and shape it to the panel's general shape, as shown in Figure 5.68.
- Figure 5.68 Starting the Control panel
Figure 5.69 Add more isoparms to the sphere and sculpt it to create the Control panel.
- Using Edit NURBS * Insert Isoparms, create a few more lateral isoparms for the Control Panel sphere to add more detail and CVs, as shown in Figure 5.69. Sculpt the sphere to shape it more like the panel, also as shown in Figure 5.69.
- Name the Sculpted Sphere panel. Keeping organized as you work is important! Figure 5.70 shows the current layout of the scene in the Outliner.
