Lesson 1 - Parts: This tutorial was useful in understanding the basics. For example, drawing 2-D shapes on a plane that could later be modified into 3-D objects. The filet feature appealed to me the most. I was impressed at the ease of making the edges rounded resulting in a smoother looking model.
Lesson - Lofts: This tutorial had a couple of key milestones. Drawing different shapes on separate planes and then connecting them using lofts to create a solid object I found to be intelligent. The step in the tutorial shown above would make modelling easier and provide opportunity for a range of other forms.
Lesson - Sweeps: This tutorial further revealed the versatility of this program. Previously, extruding and lofting were ways to create models. Extruding is a common and popular option in modelling programs (3ds max, sketchup, etc). Sweeps was new to me but it made the creation of such a detailed object easier and faster.
