Week 2 - Topic 2 (Creating the Cow Body)

This is the cow body that I have done! Lets see how we do it!

Process

First of all, by creating a cube, and extrude out the hands and the legs to form a basic body shape.

Next, use the vertex tool to make the belly of the cow to make it look similar like the realistic cow.

Once again, use the extrude tool to extrude out and form the feet of the cow.

Create a new cube and form a shape of the hands, using the extrude tool to extrude out the fingers, make sure it is not too close to one another, and the extrude out the wrist part of the hand to make a nice shape for connecting later on. Lastly use the mirror tool to make another similar hand for the other side.

Lastly, using the vertex joint tool, to joint out the vertices of the hands and necks to one another. Smoothen it with the smooth tool option, and the cow body is nicely done out!

Techniques

Apparently this excercise is quite and nearly similar to that of the cowhead, same things by using the extrude and vertex tools to create the cow body, as well as the vertex joint tool to connect the parts to the head and the hands to the body.

Reflection

Yet another fun and easy exercise, which is to recap the techniques and skills that we have learnt last semester. With the pictures, it was easy to follow and I didn't really have much trouble doing it. Overall, the experience was good.
