I began the construction of the head by\u00a0experimenting with a variety of different methods to create curved surface from our section cuts. As seen below, I tried\u00a0lofting, revolving and network surface. Although it is tricky to build the curves so you get any surface at all let alone an accurate representation, I had the best results from network surface. I continued\u00a0to build my model from that technique.<\/p>\n

From my sections and elevations, I traced the image and projected the curves onto the surface of the head. Then I experimented with different ways to model the hair on his head. First I modeled every strand of hair using my new found tool, network surface. It created an appealing result because it really got the volume and shape of the hair. But I realized I was getting too detailed and was working on a scale that was too\u00a0detailed to come across in the printed model. As a result, I used the projected lines to split the head into hair and face and scaled the face down to create the hair line. Then, I added the facial features using shapes.<\/p>\n

Continuing with more section cuts the team and I created, I was able to create the torso and the legs using Network Surface. The section cuts did not play a major role in my final product but it did help me make more sense of the shape I was making.<\/p>\n

The section cuts I traced and used the picture and section intervals to place them in their actual place in space. They turned out to be the most helpful but I did end up using them as a way to check to make sure the shapes I were making were the proper shape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
