Sunflower Field TinkerCAD(Scene)

Hello!
I am a home-school student soon to start 8th grade. My mom/teacher gave me an assignment to design a scene of some type in the TinkerCAD software, because of my mom/teacher's love for flowers, I made a sunflower field, so I could develop skills in 3D modeling. She also assigned me to write an Instructable to help me gain better grammar and writing skills. In this Instructables I will be showing you how to make a sunflower field scene in TinkerCAD. I hope you come into this Instructables knowing how to use the basic's of TinkerCAD but I have added as much beginner insight as possible.

Please vote for me at the the Student Design Contest in TinkerCAD competition.

First, grab a a cylinder from the Basic Shapes menu, now shorten the height to 1.00mm. Now scroll through the Basic shapes menu and select the "Paraboloid" and drag it out near the cylinder. Using the rotate icon, rotate the "Paraboloid" by 90 degrees and using the height icon, make it 2.00mm thick. Now duplicate the "Paraboloid" and using the bottom rotate icon, rotate the "Paraboloid" by 45 degrees and drag it to near the other "Paraboloid" to resemble the petals. Click duplicate again and it will rotate by itself around the cylinder, repeat this step 8 times to shape the "Paraboloid" all around the cylinder. Now shift click all the "Paraboloid's" and click group. Then go into the color menu and click yellow. The cylinder is still orange, so click the cyclinder and in the color menu click brown. Next shift click the ring of "Paraboloid's" and click group. The sunflower could be a solid color, to fix this go into the color menu and check mark the multi-color box and the colors will appear separate. Next, lets make the stem. Take a cylinder from the Basic Shapes menu and shift click the sizing square. Size it down to match the flowers size and then drag out the cylinder without shift clicking to make it longer. Using the color menu, make the stem green. Lets make the leaves. Grab a "Roof" from the Basic Shapes menu and using the rotate icon rotate it by 90 degrees. Lower the height to 2.00mm, shift select the sizing squares and size it according to the graphic. Duplicate and rotate it by 180 degrees and drag it to the opposite side of the stem. Shift click all the pieces and click group. If they all are the same color again, check mark the multi-color box again. Now you should have a completed sunflower.

Starting with the "Roof" from the Basic Shapes menu, use the height icon and drag it up 45.00mm. Now duplicate that shape and drag it to the side. Next by clicking a sizing square, set the width number box to 2.00mm. Shift click the sizing square and size it down to your liking. Next, using the main house, clone and duplicate it and rotate it by -90 degrees and using the duplicate move it around to where it is about square to the other. Hit duplicate 2 more times and the piece will move around by itself and should still be square. Shift click all the sail pieces and hit group. They are now a solid piece.

To start making the landscape, drag three boxes from the Basic Shapes menu and set the height on one of the boxes to 3.00mm. Now set the next box height to 1.00mm and with the last box, set its height to 2.00mm. With box one, set its color to brown, and the second box to light brown, and the last box to green. Now, widen them out across the work plane in any way you want. Just remember to make it look random. You could even add more segments to make it more unique. After that shift click all the boxes and click group, then check mark the multi-color box.

To start making the background take a box from the Basic Shapes menu and size it to 85mm high by 20mm long. Using the color menu, change it to light blue. Taking a sphere from the Basic Shape menu, drag it to the blue sky block then using the black cone over the shape, drag it up to around the middle and click duplicate. Using the cone again, drag it up a bit and then move it to the side, duplicate again and the sphere will move up and to the side. Grab the cone and drag it down and line it up. Next shift click all three white spheres and click group. Hit duplicate again and drag it to your liking around the sky blue block. Shift click all your clouds and click group. This will now group the clouds all up. Then go to the color menu and check mark the multi-color box.

Start with the windmill and and drag it to the back and to the left of the landscape (you could also place it anywhere on the green back rectangle), then shift click both of them and and click group. Everything should stay separate colors. Next, grab the background and drag it behind the windmill and landscape. Shift click both of them and align them according to the second graphic, then click group. Now it is time to put in the flowers. Because the flower is too big for the scene, all we need to do is shift click the sizing boxes and size it down but make sure it is NOT to big. Rotate it by 90 degrees and it should be standing up. Drag it to the back of the landscape but still in front of the windmill, click duplicate and slowly click the right arrow key twenty-one times and that should space out the flowers, click duplicate a couple of times and the flowers will space out by themselves, then group that line of flowers. Duplicate that row, now click the down arrow key 8 times and the left arrow key 8 times and keep repeating this process to fill in flowers all over the landscape. If they are too big select all of them and shift size them down or if too small shift size it up. Finally, group all of it, and enjoy the scenery.

This was a fun Instructables for me to write. If you liked it please vote for me in the Distance Learning with TinkerCAD.

Happy Printing!

Note: I do not recommend 3D printing this. It would need much support and would be very awkward to slice. So this is a recommended look at and not print.
