Ever since I was a little kid I have wanted to go to London, so when I heard we had a chance to make the London Bridge, a car, or a nested dodecahedron, it was a no-brainer to make the London Bridge. It only took me about a day or two and it wasn't that hard since I was just following a tutorial, but it was still fun none the less. I started with one of the towers and created some cylinders to put on the outside. The top of the first tower is just made of two boxes and one of them is just made to look like its sharp on the top. Then you put cones on the tips of the cylinders. I put a cross on top of the cones. After that you go to the bottom of the tower and make another very big cylinder and drag it out to make it fit the entire bottom. After that I created half a cylinder and extrude it out to make the holes in the towers that the cars go through. Then you boolean it and subtract it to make the actual hole. After that you duplicate the tower and move it 850 centimeters to the side. The rest is the more simple part you just created three planes as the bridge, one for the road and two for the walls. The last part is creating the supports on the sides. I used a spline for all of the lines and made the parameters thicker and rounder to make it look like wire. I then duplicated it for all four sides. and attached everything together. Overall I think this assignment was pretty fun and it helped me get a lot better with parametric modeling and I hope we do more things like this in the future.
