Week 2 Village

The second exercise i tried was the village exercise, using the extrude tool to create some buildings which also had basic walls inside, this was done via rectangles and extrude, i also aligned some flat roofs and extruded these further to create roof tops. 

I then wanted to create wholes in the buildings as if they had been fired at or were in decay, this was done using the 'cookie cutter' tool, which had mixed results. The first result I simply used a sphere to cut into a corner of one of the buildings, this gave a very neat looking whole in the corner of a building, which was a perfect sphere. Not happy with this i wanted to create a more unique shape. I did this by simply clicking a random shape from lines and then extruding, creating a unique shape as my cookie cutter.

The big problem was once i cut a piece out of a wall, i would also loose the cookie cutter!

The cheap way round this for me was too simply clone the object before cutting, leaving me a replacement for after. But having looked into it you can create an instance of the shape with the tool and then use that further. This appeared to be another way round the problem.
