giraffe

my 3d stamps will be made up from a giraffe, mosquito and the inside of a vain where the mosquito is sucking blood from. i will also be creating the scene for where the giraffe is set.

the start of making the giraffe. i imported an image to act as a guide line. I started with the neck of the giraffe as i thought that was the easies place to start from as it is a cylinder. i then angled the cylinder to the right angle the the image was. i then cut the cylinder in half and added the symmetry modifier which made it easy for me as i only had to consecrate on one side. then using the edge tool and the shift button i then started to extend and make new polygons following the shape of the image.

once i had created the body i had to create the legs, i did this by insetting then extruding polygons down

at the moment the giraffe legs were looking in the style of john Wayne.

the next stage was to add some detail into the body i did this by bringing the edges of the polygons in and out creating this effect.

once i had sorted out the detail of the body i then had to change the size of the giraffe's neck as it was too big for the body. i did this by scaling the neck down to hit the body using the scale tool. then after i scaled down the neck i then had to Aline all the edges of the polygons to create a better mesh.
