My homework thread for the August 2018 Class
Week 4 – Homework submission – Digital Clay – Mothra-ish
Since the assignment was “challenge yourself” I picked the Mothra Kaiju. (from Godzilla franchise.)
*Mothera is arguably the lamest Kaiju ever and the Challenge was to stay interested in sculpting it’s larva head.
Considering I’ve only put in 20hrs (total) in this Blender Course.
Spent about 4hrs on this mostly figuring out tech stuff, t’s not the worst 3D sculpt I’ve ever seen, it’s somewhat recognizable and It’s the best I can do currently. Besides, mum says it looks good and a print is on the fridge, with 3 magnets! lol
Techniques Used:
- Be realistic about personal skill level vs ambitions
- Hard surface + Sculpt tools. (Mask, Layer, Grab, SnakeHook, Flatten, Clay)
- Model the Head to look like Plastic toy
I’ve never participated in an online Class before and because of the fun and encouragement, I intend to continue learning B2.8!
Had fun working on the Aug 4 week projects, and it’s inspiring to see all the progress everyone has made. Thanks to Kent for the informative and entertaining Class, and thank you to those who commented and helped with questions!



Example of Mirror not working as expected. To fix this issue: Object> Apply Rot, Loc, Trans
(Maya equivalent is Freeze transforms, Delete History)
Also, Mirrored mesh needs to have Normals Flipped. …see I am learning a few things! 🙂

*Since no-one here knows me, I modeled this because it’s my wife’s favorite Kaiju.
…and she knows I’m only kinda joking!
