3D Art Week 2 - Basics of Topology

 

I had fun with this homework, but did run into some minor issues here and there, especially in the lattice deformer part of the tutorial (for example, it turned out I had to switch live object 'off' before manipulating the lattice deformer, because the selections kept moving in very strange ways otherwise.)  There was also a setting that wouldn't allow me to duplicate/drag out the tail-like object in the first image, so I had to play around with things until I accidentally solved the issue. I like how CatBot turned out - I was trying to come up with ways to significantly alter the shape of the little robot we were provided, and after a few alien-esque iterations it turned into a pretty cute cat :)  I kind of want to 3D print one for my desk now...
