In 3D literacy class today we were told to work on blocking or begin sculpting our characters. Henry said that my blocked up model looked good, and that I could begin sculpting; the only changes that he suggested were to move the fingers and legs further away from each other to lower the chances of them merging. He also suggested that I make the palm of the hands separate from the arms. He then showed me a great way of getting started on my boy’s hoodie, by combining the main body and the arms and sculpting it to be the garment, and then masking the outside of the head, extracting the mask and then increasing its thickness to create the hood.
I then went in to work more on the hood and I knew that I didn’t really like the fully smoothed out appearance of the screenshots shown above – I wanted something a little more textured. Whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing is yet to be seen, but I love how this is turning out right now:
I want to work on some little cuffs for his hoodie tomorrow and I think that’ll be me satisfied with the hoodie at the moment! I just hope that he’s OK, and that my preferences aren’t gonna be something that the lecturers don’t want to see.
