I started my Digital 3d model on a software called Mudbox. Mudbox is a software that was created by Autodesk. Its a digital sculpting, texturing and painting software that gives you the freedom to sculpt and create 3d models. Its created to replicate the ablititly of modeling with clay, and allows you to have work that is realistic and perfect for industries.

This is the my first time using this software meaning that it will take time for me to learn what is necessary to create a realistic looking model head of my partner. We had a 2 hour tutorial that would help us get learn the different tools of the software as well as begin our model head.

To begin with Mudbox has a range of basic models to choose from to help begin a model, or you can choose to start from new. We chose to load a basic head:

This head has the basic facial topology already in line and it had a very small amount of polygons. We learn the technique to creating more polygons on the head so that more detail could be added. key command = (control s) you can see on the picture below on the wire frame, this has more polygons on then in the last image.

We next were taught the different methods of sculpting using the tools provided on Mudbox. The list of tools given to us are:



Here is an example of me using the different tools:
