Week 8 YMCA

I finished editing the vertex points of the Y in the editable poly to make the Y shape as smooth as possible. With this done I selected the Y and added a modifier to the Y the modifier I added to the Y was turbo smooth which help with what I attempted to do using the editable poly to make the Y less blocky and more cartoony.

The next thing I did was created a spiked collar for my punky Y character I did this by first using cylinder tool to create the round shape base for the collar then in modify menu I change the width, length and height of the cylinder to make it right proportion to fit on the punky Y’s neck.

I created the spikes for the collar using the cone tool to create one spike then in the modify menu I change the width, length to make the spike in proportion with the collar then using the move and rotate tool I placed the spike into place on the collar. I then shift click to copy the spike and using the rotate and move tool I placed the copy spike onto the collar I did this all the way round the collar.

Once I had finished placing all the spikes round the collar I grouped them together and moved the collar into position on the punky Y using the move tool.

I created the eyes using cylinder tool then transform tool to create the eye shape, I created the pupil the same way and placed the pupil onto of the eye using the move tool. Once I was happy with eye I move the eye onto the using the move and rotate tool. I selected the eye again and selected mirror from the toolbar to create a copy of the eye but facing the opposite way then using the move tool I placed the second eye into place.
I created the earring just by using the sphere tool and changing the height radius in modify menu for the sphere. Once happy with the shape I placed earring above one of the eyes using the move tool.

For the hair I created the box using the box tool and changing height, width, and length in the modify menu. I placed the box on the punky Y’s head using the move tool then I put a hair and fur modifier on the box. I have never used the hair modifier before and some computers don’t like hair modifier so this is a new experience. I found it difficult to change the hair style I found out how to change the colour of the hair in hair modify option changing the root and tip hairs different colour. I used the brush tool in the hair modifier menu to try and style the hair for Punky Y.
