This is the first time i tried to create mr and mrs Potato head. I struggled a lot when creating the first image above. It took a good two and a half hours. I look at it now and laugh as i have learnt so much in the last week. The main thing that shouts out to me is that the objects are all unrefined and angled. If you use the (+) key you can smooth out the individual pieces to reveal what they are actually meant to look like. I learnt from doing the task that if you are wanting to make realistic eye balls (for example on Mrs. Potato head, it is easier to do it bit by bit. I tried to make its easier and quicker by making the eyes before putting them onto the head. However, once i had assembled the eye and started moving it to put it on the head, the individual pieces started to move away from each other. I am not sure why this happened, and i am sure there is probably a button in softimage somewhere which can anchor all the individual pieces together like in after affects, but this was now and has not been obvious to me as of yet.
After the second lesson with Jon, i decided to have another go at creating the two potato heads. I decided to concentrate on one before i started the other. I decided to concentrate on mrs potato head. I felt much more confident making the 3D Mrs Potato head then i did the previous week, i have smoothed the individual pieces out and i have noticed a massive decrease in the time spent on creating it.
