On Tuesday we had a class form Tony Mayor on using the 3-D modelling tool Mudbox. I think like most people I enjoyed using Mudbox to sculpt and found it easier and less frustrating than Maya. In Mudbox you essentially just paint on 3-D details onto the model with a variety of tools and it's much easier to get good shapes and details quickly as opposed to Maya which generally involves a lot of extruding and re-sizing of faces.

We were first taught the tools in the programme to allow us to get a better understanding of how they worked so we could actually make decent models later on.

All we really did was smash stencils on it and see what would happen.

After we had done all of that and learnt what the tools could do we were given our assignment which was to sculpt a dinosaur. It should be noted that Mudbox supplies a base for modelling T-Rexes So we used that and built upon it.

The textured dinosaur and his massive crazy eyes.

I had a lot of fun sculpting the dinosaur although I do think my texturing needs work.
