Smurf House Model

2009-09-09T09:56:00.001+01:00

My first post is an experiment i did in modelation of inanimated objects in this case a house.
This House style was inspired in the Cartoon "Smurf"

Here it was possible to learn more about the "Geometric Sculp tool" that gave me the ability to deform the rocks that are in the house, and i got more experience with the Maya workflow and utilities.
