With this we practiced with sculpting tools and created a model using meta balls. Using references of a green gecko I blocked out the main body using mainly meta balls and ellipsoid shapes making up the basic shape of the gecko.
Whilst making this model I had found it that it was easier to block out and make the gecko itself than using the sculpting tools like the brushes. I had trouble adding details like certain eye shapes or the nose however I have enjoyed trying these techniques to know what I would need to improve on. Adding on to this I’ve also been able to see how the techniques learned can be applied to my model such as adding to the ground to make it appear more textured and will be playing around with these techniques in the model as well.
Looking at the model I made of this gecko one other part I would need to improve is the overall anatomy and placement of certain body parts. Although this is my first time modelling a creature I can notice parts of the body having a grainy texture where using the brush or joints of the legs where unfortunately it makes the model look a bit like a different animal, however overall the process of learning these techniques was valuable.
