This is Scrow. He's the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz. He's the first project in 3d 2. I'm pretty excited about it. I am going to take this model and turn him into life! haha Not really but going to do some cool things with it. First off, I wanted to put a 20s twist on scarecrow. I love that erra. Second, I am going make a rough model in Maya. Then I'm going to bring the model into Mudbox and see if I can't bring him some more detail. Plus I want to learn to use another program. Lastly I'm going to bring him back into Maya and put some 3d programming bones in him. This is what gives him the realistic movements. After watching plenty of tutorial videos on these bones, I realized it won't be as easy as I thought it was going to be but it will be worth it. This is what I've been wanting to do! Let's hope to it! :)
