Week 3

Now with some knowledge i decided to look at some tutorials online. Going with one of my ideas for one the months i decided to search for some tutorials on how to create a realistic pumpkin. After searching for ages and finding nothing i decided to experiment with the program to see if i could create something that resembled a pumpkin shape.

After a couple of failed attempts and some playing around with the soft selection i managed to create the basic shape.

I started out by creating a normal sphere from the shape panel. Once i had the sphere i converted it into a editable mesh. Using the edge selector and soft selection i selected some of the vertical lines in the top view. When the lines were highlighted i was able to move sections of the sphere back to give the bumpy appearance of a pumpkin.

The shape may not look like much but i am pretty happy with the way its going so far. Hopefully by next weeks tutorial it will have progressed and i will have a decent looking pumpkin.
