PROJECT: Creating a Glue Gun

Part I: Modeling the handle

This tutorial walks through the modeling process for a glue gun handle. It demonstrates how to use custom guides with numerical precision to aid the modeling process.

Part II: Modeling a glue gun trigger

This tutorial walks through the modeling process for a glue gun trigger component.

Part III: Modeling the spout end of the glue gun

This tutorial walks through the modeling process for the spout end of the glue gun.

Part III: Modeling the stand inset connector ports of the glue gun

This tutorial walks through the modeling process for the connector holes which fit the metal resting stand of the glue gun.

Part I: General Materials Setup Tutorial: intermediate level

This texturing tutorial demonstrates the thought process and approach to setting up various types of materials using the glue gun scene as an example file. It shows how to categorize materials based on certain general properties. This is useful in figuring out how to configure parameters in the materials dialog.

Part II: A lesson on specularity: beginner level

This texturing tutorial discusses how the specular channels in the material dialog affect the look of the glue gun. It’s geared towards beginners.
