Space Invaders Chandelier With Glow In The Dark Action

Step 4 Make an Easy Shape

The first object I'm going to walk through building is the tank that runs across the bottom of the screen.

Use border select to select the right side panel of the cube. Extrude it to the right one segment on the grid by pushing the 'e' key dragging the mouse to the right, and then clicking when it's in position. Keep repeating this until you have an object 8 squares wide. You may have to zoom out to fit it all on the screen. Deselect everything.

Select the left side of the original cube. Extrude it in the same way until you have a bar 15 squares wide. Deselect everything.

Again using the border select, select the entire bottom of the object. Extrude the whole thing down one square. Repeat this until your object is four blocks tall. Deselect everything.

Use the border select to select the tops of the center 13 blocks. Extrude them up one square, then deselect.

Select the tops of the center three blocks and extrude upward twice. Then top of the 1 centermost block and extrude it upward one square.

This is a finished object at this point. You will need to resize it but I will cover how to do that in the file setup step. Save this and start a new object (under 'File' in the header.)
