Written By Terrance Luckett

This episode builds on all of the previous episodes and we start to see our plane coming together. This is a much more advanced tutorial and relies heavily on modeling using the sketch tool, projection, and Intersect. We will also use the loft tool as well. Please be patient with yourself as you work through this tutorial, it will be a bit of a challenge for some, others will breeze right through.
