DiscoverBot - Boot

Time to create the boots! The legs will get left out for the time being. As they're a bit more fiddly and will be used to connect most of the components together; it seemed a better idea to wait until the end to start building the neck and legs. Anyways; to the boot...

Hey now, this looks cool! Was this really made from sitting down with the editable poly tool and pulling vertices left, right and centre until I had this shape?


... No, unfortunately not. This shape is literally a hemisphered ball, a cone and a cylinder... all painted black (Like the Rolling Stones' song). Easy huh?

Now for the sole of the shoe. A complicated spline extruded perhaps?

... Or maybe just a pair of cylinders on the bottom... your choice...

A quick Pro-Boolean later to chop out a heel... and we're done! Nice and easy. Group it all so it moves as one... and we have our boot.
