#063 GAD BA3 - P1: Maya Design

With the vault door hinge designs, time to make it in Maya. I already know how I'm going to make it, and how I will animate it too for the opening and closing of the door. So, below are the steps I've taken to create the hinge:

Step 1: Create a cylinder 4 units by 4 units.

Step 2: Squash the cylinder by 0.8 units.

Step 3: Clean up the top and bottom face.

Step 4: Extrude Offset by 0.1 units.

Step 5: Extrude Offset by 0.1 units and pull up by 0.1 units.

Step 6: Create a plane 2 units by 2 units.

Step 7: Place the plane on the middle of the upper cylinder face.

Step 8: Extrude the face by 2 units.

Step 9: Extrude the face again by 5 units.

Step 10: Rotate the top face by 90 degrees.

Step 11: Drag the face horizontally across to create a diagonal object.        

Step 12: Extrude the face by 10 units

Step 13: Create a cylinder, 4 units by 4 units and 2 units deep.

Step 14: Clean up the top and bottom edges.

Step 15: Rotate the cylinder by 90 degrees on to its side.

Step 16: Create a large plane, big enough to cut through the cylinder.

Step 17: Select the two objects and use the Boolean Intersect tool.

Step 18: Select the flat plane face and delete it.

Step 19: Position the half cylinder underneath the hinge bar.

Step 20: Select both objects and combine them.

Step 21: Create another  cylinder, 4 units by 4 units and 2 units deep.

Step 22: Clean the upper and lower cylinder faces.

Step 23: Rotate the cylinder by 90 degrees on to its side.

Step 24: Create a cube 2 units by 2 units by 2 units.

Step 25: Position the cube so it cuts into one quarter of the cylinder.

Step 26: Use the Boolean Intersection tool to attach the two together.

Step 27: Select the cubes face on the right side.

Step 28: Extrude the face by 0.2 units.

Step 29: Rotate the object so that the extruded face is at the bottom left side.

Step 30: Position the new piece next to the other part of the hinge.

Step 31: Place the hinge on to the door, 0.4 units away from the frame edge.

Step 32: Duplicate the hinge, flip it, and position it on the lower half.

      
The door as such is now complete. The only thing left to do now modelling wise is to perhaps add a few details to the wall, which is looking a bit bare... However there is only so much you can do to a concrete wall.
