PPD2 blog 4

For PPD2 I thought I would do a qaudraped mammal in order to show that I have a good understanding of how animals work, as they move differently to humans. As a 3d rigger I need to show a good understanding of antanomy.

Following the method of the bird modelling turtorial I started off with a plane  

I found an image of a beagle dog and imported it into “Maya” hyper shade menu and created a new material.

I then applied it to the plane and then create a new uv so it would show up properly 

I then created a cube and then positioned it on the body of the dog within the front view

I then scaled it up

Going back to the normal view I selected the face and then selected the extrude option

I then moved it out and selected the vertices and adjusted them to match the body of the image

Repeating this process I went back to the normal view and selected the face and went on the extrude option

I then went onto the front view and pulled the face out

Then going back to the normal view I selected the face and went on the extrude option again

In the front view I pulled it out, then I select the vertices and began to move them out

After I went back to the normal view, selected the face and went onto the extrude option

In the front view I pulled the new face out

Then I selected the vertices and position them in the shape of the image 

I repeated the extruding method

The went back to the front view and pulled it out

In the front view I added a new edge

Then adjusted the vertices into the shape of the dog head

I then went back to the normal view and selected the head and extruded it

In the front view I moved it out

I then adjusted the vertices

I then extruded the face again

Pulled it out

Going back to the normal view I extruded the face again

I moved the vertices in the front view

Repeating the extrude method again

I then moved them again in order to form the snout

I then went to the normal view in Maya and went to the back of the mesh, selected the face and went onto the extrude option

I decided to end the work at this point here for today
