Chapter 3 : Let's Sculpt an Alien Plant!
In Chapter 2, Modeling a Robot Drone Character, you learned how to utilize Blender's excellent modeling tools to create a Robot Drone character.
Modeling tools work great for mechanically shaped models (such as our Robot Drone), but when you want to create a model that has an organic form, 3D sculpting is the best method. That's because it is much more intuitive to use 3D sculpting tools to shape organic surfaces.
This practical tutorial will teach you how to create an organic model for your 3D movie set. So, let's learn how to do this by sculpting an Alien Plant model! These plants would look amazing in your Alien Planet Surface 3D movie set.
In this chapter, you will learn how to sculpt a mesh in Blender, as if it were a piece of virtual clay.
You'll be guided through the complete 3D sculpting process, which will start with setting up the reference image and the block-out stage of your model.
Next, you...
