3D Modeling: Droid Part 1 of 8

Part 1.
I have recorded a video of this Droid/Robot/Cyborg/"Destroyer-Droid" modeling process, edited the video to eight parts and I'll upload them one by one. I use Wings3D but software is irrelevant, Wings, Blender, Softimage, 3ds Max, Maya, Lightwave or whatever have the same toolset some named differently, but move, rotate, scale, extrude etc are standard.
I've used Wings3D 1.1.6 (which is not the recent version but I'm used to it), I use Maya camera mode because of [Alt]-LefClick rotation. I usually start with a cube, cut it in half, select & delete one half and then mirror the remaining geometry, the rest of the process is pretty basic: extrude, rotate, flatten, scale, connect, inset, bridge faces etc (all commands accessible from Right-Cick menu), I have 'T' for 'tweak'.

Im making a model in MudBox but don't know how to make it rotate like this, would you know how to?

[Korado3D]

@youboobful No I don't use Mudbox, so I can't help with keyboard shortcuts or other specific stuff, sorry, I've tried trial of Mudbox a couple of years ago, it is fun and feels quite natural, but expensive..

What tool are you using at 3:54?

[Korado3D]

@billnye69 That's a tweak tool, most of a questions I get are about it:) go to "Tools" and select "Tweak", To do get the magnet tool (blue sphere) press 1 while in "Tweak" mode, you can increase/decrease the size of the magnet radius by pressing + or -respectively, the 1.4 version of Wings3D has a more advanced tweak system that I believe was documented by the developer.

hey i was wondering if you could put something like edit the video so we know what to click and can you make a tutorial of a gas mask

[Korado3D]

@brandfoley I was thinking of adding subtitles or even doing voice over explanations but I do not have time for that atm. I might do some character modeling with a gasmask in the future but now I have to do some completely different models and props for scenes.
