Project 1c - Pattern

Approaching forward progress by first revisiting the previous components of project 1, I went back to my object (Chevy Camaro) and tried to model a new part of the car body. This time I went ahead and made a simple shape based off the ridge along the hood of the car (I don't know if there's a specific name for this piece), highlighted below in orange:

After building this piece, I started to reconstruct a matrix, and I want to take a slightly different approach with the transformation. What I plan to do is make very slight alterations along a single line of transformation, and then replicate those rows, and manipulate them as rows perpendicular to that first line, in order to start creating the grid that will make up my pattern. Here's a process image, and I will have a more complete rendered image for Tuesday's class (left is original):

I rebuilt the original piece on the left for more control, and I will be experimenting with pulling individual points from the surfaces to create cavities along the movement of transformed pieces.
