Starting a 3D streetlamp

…Now the last movie, what we did is we created this lantern here.…Pretty straightforward, all straight lines.…This one back here, however, has a curved, or rounded top.…As do the streetlights.…Now the streetlights are even more complex.…So what we're going to do is create one of the streetlights.…Now being round and being many of them, I've decided to create those in 3D.…So I needed to know what they look like, so again I did a little, strolling up and…down the street in Google Maps Street View.…And I got a little shot here of one of the street lights.…

So that's what it looks like.…So what we're going to do is go in there and recreate that light.…So, here we go.…So now the first thing I need to do is to bring out a guide for myself.…It'll go in and view and there's rulers which is cmd+r.…I click on that, here's my rulers, and now I can pull out a guide right from there.…See?…There's a guide.…So now, let's get in a little closer and let's see what's going to happen now.…I'm going to go in here and start to create my lantern.…
