Wizard Model Attempt2




My second attempt at modeling my Wizard. It went much better than my fitst attempt and I have been able to almost complete it. Because I started with a cube for the body, extruding and moving the polygons has been alot easier.

Wizard Model Attempt1

My first attempt at modeling my character. For a first attempt it isn't too bad, but because I started with the head, which is an edited sphere, and extruded from there I have been having problems with the body shape.

An improved storyboard for my wizards animation based on feeback from my classmates and tutor. My wizard now has interaction with his hat, multiple movements of walking, spell casting, and running, also special effects will be added to the final render for the magic and smoke.
