Week 2 - Character Modelling - Cow Head (E-learning)

This is the cowhead that I have done! Lets see how it is being done!

Process

First of all, create a cube, and using the smooth technique to make the cube become a more rounded shape. Lastly, using the vertex tool and by pulling and extracting of the different points to make it a looks more like a shape of the cow head.

Next is by using the extrude tool, you will have to slowly adjust and extrude out the faces to complete the head shape of the cow.

Using the vertices in each points the set the lines properly, and lastly using the face tool to make a hole and is now ready to make the eye.

Once again using the extrude tools, you have to slowly extrude in the layer to form the eyes, also you have to use the vertices in each points to make the eye looks more neatly done and realistic.

Now the eye is done, next will be moving on the the ear part. Using the extrude tool, and also the vertex tool, to make the ear shape before extruding out the ear, where the ear is nicely done.

Now will be doing on the nose part, which is very similar on how you make the eye part, using the face tool to make a hole and using extrude as well as vertx tool to make the nose shape.

Lastly will be the mouth part and we are close to finish. Same thing again, using the extrude tool to extrude ou the lower mouth part similar to that of making the cow head, and easily done.

Now you can choose to use the Sculpt Geometry Tool to do some touch up to make the cow head looks more naturally instead of a blocky look. And lastly, using the Mirror Geometry Tool to make the the other side of the face to have the eye,ear and nose features. Now use the smooth tool and conversion to sub-division to finish up the cow head!

Techniques

Basically the techniques use are extruding and vertex tools which has been learn before during the last semester. of couse, new technique like the mirror tool has been learn through this exercise.

Reflection

This exercise was mainly to recap the techniques and skills which we have learnt before during the last semester. An interesting and meaningful exercise, which helps me to remember the techniques and skills which I have forgotten last semester. With the help of the tutorial videos, it is easy to understand as well, feels happy to finish my first exercise of the module!
