Making Silly 3D Model Toys on Tinker

This is something that almost anyone can do regardless of any computer you have.

You dont need any supplies. Just your computer and wifi haha.

First you have to go to the website

Tinkercad | Join class

https://www.tinkercad.com/joinclass/NG9FNIMG7

Once you're in you have to join a class with a specific code.

Once signed in click on your profile. (Its most likely going to be your profile picture). Once in your profile there is going to be this blue button saying "+ create". Once clicked there is going to be 3 options presented to you. For this project however, we are going to select the "3D model" option.

Once you create a new project you are going to presented with blank slate. On the right side of your screen you'll be presented with 3D models that you can easily drag and drop onto the blue graph.

Firstly. You should find the necessary premade 3D assets for you. On the right hand side of your screen you're going to find a button that (by default) should be named "basic shapes".

In all honesty, you can place anything you want. However for this, you're going to select from the "basic shape" option, until you see a cylinder and a sphere. After you located the two shapes, simply drag and drop onto the blue grid. You can mix and match where the shapes are placed. It'll be printed the same way.

To get your little friendly figure man, click on the "basic shapes" button. Suddenly it'll show you different panel options. Two find a blank humanoid figure select the "Creatures and Characters". Then drag and drop the white colored doll labeled "Blanky" onto the blue grid.

To get the bench shown in the example, there is an easier way to find it. On the same right hand side there is going to be a search button with a magnify glass as the label. Simply press and search up "bench" till you find the model in the middle and simply drag and drop onto the blue grid. This time you should do it twice.

Repeat the previous process with the ducks and flowers.

Once your 3D models are all placed it should look similarly to the first screenshot. Of course, it'll be weird to have your toy-set look all huge and crowded.

There is luckily a solution to this. Click on one of the models until you see a blue outline, squares, and curved arrows. Once selected there should be a color selector underneath an appearing tab with the models label. Once selecting the color of said asset you should change your models into a specific size using the white squares. (Be mindful you might have to change the angle of your camera to make sure one of side of your model isn't elongated weirdly). To move your models just click and drag and use the curved arrows to turn the model around.

One thing to mention is that the sun and the benches wont remain in the same place. (because yk gravity and the benches aren't stuck together).

Once your models are positioned you can accessorize it. For Blanky you can choose anything, as well as the sun. To do this go into go into the "Characters and animals" then either "face" or "accessories". Just like placing the models, drag and drop and position using the arrows and squares to fit the pre-existing 3D models.
