Find a 3D object online with some baggage, cultural weight, or embedded meaning and transform it through distortions, modifiers, and other processes.
– Produce 3 manipulations of the same object.
-Use a single object, either a single “watertight” mesh or joined meshes so they can be manipulated together.
– Try to limit your manipulations to no more than 3 operations in Blender.
– The original object should still be recognizable
– Think about what it means to mess with that particular thing
– It’s easy to simply break a mesh. Try to produce a mesh that is still correct and usable: no holes, no self-intersecting surfaces.
-If you don’t know what to use, find a statue or monument and look up its context and history.
– Post 3 sketches separately in #assignment
Tutorials
Blender: Help! the model I imported is: untextured/ animated / all joined together in one object / not smooth / too detailed / too BIG / too SMALL / all messed up!
Blender mashups: how do I slice, join, combine objects?
Blender glitching: how do I select things like a pro? How to I join things? How do I edit meshes like they were made of rubber? How do I sculpt? What are modifiers?
Also check the lattice modifier, which I forgot to mention
