🖥️ 15. Crafting Planet Saturn🚀 

Introduction

Hey, young creators! Ready to embark on a space adventure? Today, we’re going to create a model of the planet Saturn using Tinker Cad. This project is fun and easy, and you’ll learn how to use different shapes to build a cool 3D model.

Getting Started:

• Navigate to Design Area:

• 🛠️ Once on the Tinker Cad page, look for the ‘Designs’ section.
• 🎨 Click on ‘Create’ to start a new project.
• 🧩 Choose ‘Code Blocks’ as your working mode.

• Adding a Taurus Ring:

• 🪙 Start by adding a Taurus ring to your workspace.
• 🎨 Change its colour to a shade that resembles Saturn’s ring. ‘Skin’ colour might look good.

• Creating the Sphere:

• 🌐 Next, add a sphere (Spar) below the Taurus ring.
• 🎨 Colour it the same as your Taurus ring.

• Adjusting Radius and Steps:

• 📏 For the first Taurus ring, keep the default radius.
• 📏 For the sphere, adjust the radius to 10 and steps to 18.

• Adding More Rings:

• 🪙 Add another Taurus ring. Change its colour to match the others.
• 📏 Adjust the radius to 11.5, sides to 28, tube to 4, and steps to 19.

• Final Sphere and Ring Adjustments:

• 🌐 Add another sphere below the last Taurus ring. Set its radius to 15 and steps to 18.
• 🪙 Finally, add one more Taurus ring with a radius of 15, sides of 35, tube of 5, and steps of 21.

Seeing Your Creation

• Viewing Your Saturn Model:

• 📽️ Once you have all your shapes in place, it’s time to see how your Saturn model looks.
• ▶️ Click the ‘Play’ button to view your creation.

• 🪐 You should see your very own 3D model of Saturn, complete with rings!

Conclusion and Next Steps

• Wrapping Up:

• 🎉 Congrats on creating your 3D model of Saturn!
• 🎨 Remember, you can always go back and tweak colors, sizes, or add more rings.
• 🧪 Experimenting is key to learning and having fun with Tinker Cad.

• What’s Next?

• 🌌 Keep exploring Tinker Cad with new projects.
• 🚀 Maybe next time, you could create Saturn’s neighbouring planets or even a spaceship!
• 🌠 The universe of 3D modelling is vast and full of possibilities.

Remember, every time you try something new in Tinker Cad, you’re learning important skills in 3D modelling. So, keep experimenting, keep creating, and most importantly, have fun with your digital creations! 🚀🪐🌌
