CAKE

We began by placing Cake in a box ans securing it with spray foam.

When we took Cake in a box into the shop we cut it down the center line, splitting the doll in two halves. From there we took vertical sections from one half and horizontal sections from the other, at 5 cm intervals always cutting to the right to make up for lost in the cut of the blade.

After our sections were cut we lined them up and took photos to gain a detailed understanding of their dimensions.

At this point we began modeling and attempted several approaches to which included using volumes, the sections, and tracing of images.

Some issues we have run into so far are, the non uniform shape of Cake, and once we achieved a shape we liked we had issues with surface connections or edges and making them look smooth, and continuous.  We attempted to correct this with control points and are now trying new ways of approaching the body as we were not satisfied with the accuracy of the results.
