Locks in the classroom – 2018

For the sixth year now, our grade nine students have been doing 3D modeling using Blender. We ran late this year, but the final locks were finished a couple of weeks ago, and they’re finally ready for publishing. As this is my last year in the school, this will most likely be the last of this series of posts. So, with no further delay, here are the top models from each of the three grade nine classes (click on the pictures for Full HD renders).

First up is a lock on a cash-laden safe

Excellent use of physics to make the chain hang over the edge of the table

And, finally, a video of a swinging lock that makes excellent use of Blender’s physics engine!
