Starting the exhaust pipes

Here's another great modeling challenge: how to make this exhaust structure?…Now it looks pretty complicated.…We have these four pipes, they all are curved together, and then they join…together into one big pipe.…In this video, I'm going to show some techniques that can make this a lot…easier than it looks. Here we go.…I'm starting out in a fresh scene so that I can reference this scene into the…main scene, just like we've done before.…I've also made the easy part already, so that we that we focus on the new challenges.…My strategy for this is to identify the shapes that we know have to be there first.…

Then we can fill in the shapes that are just kind of ambiguous afterwards.…We know that there have to be four cylinders right here, and we know that they…eventually have to form into one cylinder down here.…Let's get this started in Maya.…I'm going into my four views and what I want to do is look at this from the front view.…Now what I want to do is create one of those four cylinders first.…So let's click on the Cylinder tool, and I want to hold down X, just to make…
