Mudbox

Although we had been introduced to Mudbox the week before, I only really had a go at playing around with it today. I haven't done much with Mudbox today, it was more of just exploring the program and using some of the tools. 
The tools I have been introduced to are:

• Scuplt
• Smooth
• Grab
• Paint Brush
• Add new subdivision level

I used most of these tools for altering a pre-made model of a T-rex.

In the end I didn't really change much about the T-rex, but I still experimented a bit with some of the tools. I did actually also attempt to pose the T-rex differently, however, this did not go at all well. To change the pose of the model you need to place a joint and then move the model that way. But, every time I tried this, when I went to pose the T-rex it would not retain its shape and would become a disaster. I will need to learn how to pose models for my greek statue so I will have a look at tutorials in my own time and try and get a better understanding of it.
