Applied Animation: The Model Part 3

The third session of modelling that we did last week was by far the best for me so far. We continued to work towards making the mold for the foam model that we will make in the last session. I found it really fun and interesting to see how molds were made from Plasticine models and I really enjoyed using the clay. I actually found molding the clay a lot easier than I did the Plasticine, as I found that the material was a lot easier to manipulate. Before I could use the clay however, I had to make a few adjustments to my character in order to make the process a little easier. In order to prevent damage to both the Plasticine and foam model I had to remove the hood of my character so the plaster wouldn't gather in the gap and rip he hood off when it came time to remove the Plasticine model from the clay. I'm really interested to see how I will attach it afterwards though.







I found this task quite simple and I am really pleased with how simple I found the whole process. Not only that, but I am also pleased with how much quicker I worked on this task than in other sessions. I feel as though my skills are increasing and I feel confident that I will be able to do this again with a lot more confidence and with a lot more ease.
