To create the dinosaur eyes
Now it’s time for us to create the eyes of the dinosaur.
Step 1
First, you must use the extender to create points, following the shape of the dinosaur.
Step 2
After that, just select all the polygons and joint them to the dinosaur head.
Step 3
Finally, you need to name and save it.
To select some part in the dinosaur body
Step 1
Sometime if you select a portion area in your objects (body that merges), you can use the polygon selection.
Step 2
Next, you have to press W to bring up the selection panel.
Step 3
After that, select the Arrow button in the surf panel.
Step 4
Next, you must select the surface that you want and it will select the area based on the surfaces that you had given earlier. Click the + button, beside the surface for selection.
To model the dinosaur teeth
Step 1
If you wish to model the dinosaur teeth, first you need to create a box.
Step 2
After that, you need to make it as nurbs by pressing the Tab key.
Step 3
Later, use the Drag tool or press the Shift + T and sculpt the model.
Step 4
Now use Stretch tool or press Shift + H to make the model in teeth shape.
Step 5
Then, you ought to copy and paste the teeth and make it as teeth row.
Step 6
Next, you have to select all the teeth and give it a name.
Step 7
Now, just paste it to the head as shown by the picture below.
Step 8
The most important thing you must do now is to save the work.
To model the dinosaur mouth
Once the head has completed, we can start modeling the dinosaur mouth.
Step 1
In sculpting the mouth of the model, you need to have a lot of patience.
Step 2
After that, at the edge, you need to move down and continue modeling it until the lower of the mouth is detached.
Step 3
You just need to do the same thing to the upper part of the mouth.
Step 4
At the same time you can insert the tongue in the mouth and don’t forget to save it.
To sculpt model in nurbs form
Do you know that sometimes your can model your objects in nurbs form?
Step 1
First, you need to press Tab to turn polygon to nurbs.
Step 2
From the nurbs, you can start dragging the cages (blue color) by using the drag tool.
Step 3
Sometimes there are a lot of cages, where you could hardly see the drag point.
Step 4
You can go to the display properties and set out the display of the cages.
Step 5
Next, you can drag the point of the nurbs.
Step 6
You can also set your display to the wire frame mode so that it is easier for you to look at it.
To model the dinosaur head
Step 1
If you wish to model the dinosaur head, you could actually use the same technique. Just extend the point and drag it according to the image shape.
Step 2
Next, you need to continue tweaking and shaping your point.
Step 3
After that, continue sculpting it until the head shape is out.
To model the dinosaur palm
Step 1
After you finish modeling the body and leg, now let us continue to model the palm.
Step 2
What we need to do now is that we are going to try to model the palm in separate layer and then joint it together.
Step 3
Once you have finished the palm, you can joint the arm and the palm together.
Step 4
You can use Weld tool to joint the two points in the same layer. You may refer back on how to use the Weld tool.
To use mirror in modeler
Step 1
To use mirror in modeler, it starts after the model in first part has finished. What you need to do now is joining it together by pressing Ctrl + V (to select mirror).
Step 2
After that, you have to select the middle line and click to joint the polygon.
Step 3
Next, press the tab button to see in nurbs format, and save it.
To model dinosaur legs
Now we could continue to model the dinosaur legs.
Step 1
First we can delete the half of the body and model only half of it. This is because; we can joint it together, later.
Step 2
After we have finished extending it, we need to drag it and the size should follow the shape of the image.
To save model
Step 1
Do you know that you must always save your model? If you wish to save it, first, press S command key to save the objects.
Step 2
After that, you need to try to save it in the folder that you have created earlier.
To give surface to a model
Step 1
If you wish to give surface to a model, you must give each of it a name.
Step 2
After that, you have to press Q to load the surface panel.
Step 3
Later, type your name for the model, and press OK.
To use layer for separated objects
Step 1
Do you know that sometimes you can use layer to separate the objects, so that it will be easier for you to model it.
Step 2
Next, in the modeler apply the ghost layer and it is the same with tracing technique.
Step 3
To apply ghost layer, first you need to select one layer as the above image. Then, click the second one but only half way like what is shown in the image below.
Step 4
This way it is easier for you to edit the model.
Step 5
If your model layers are more than 10, click the purple color arrow beside the first layer to go to the additional layer.
To joint the point between points
Step 1
When you construct the model, the bicep of the model can be done separately and you could see it from the pictures below.
Step 2
After that, you can joint both models point by point.
Step 3
Then you can use Weld tool to point between 2 points at a time.
Step 4
You need to make sure that you must be in the same layer, before you use weld tools.
Step 5
Now, you can press Ctrl + W to weld the point.
