progress with my modelling

As far as the modelling was concerned, the geisha dolls were fairly easy to manipulate and create. This was due to their circular structure, which varied in size and curvature. Although i did have a lot of trouble trying to measure them in the first place. I kept true to all of their measurements, which made everything loads easier in creation.
The fans were interesting to create, as i wasn't decided to have them open or closed. I knew if i had to open/close them in between still frames, i would have got very annoyed (due to me having to rotate each piece 5 degrees at a time). So i created two of each of the fans. One open and one closed. This made it easier for me to import and position swiftly.


Of all the things i modelled for this project, the thing i hated the most was the red geisha's sleeves. They were such an odd shape to create. They took far too long to create in the long run.

One decision i kept having to make was, to meshsmooth or not to meshsmooth. As all the dolls were smooth, in some instances the meshsmooth would deform the shape too much. So i applied it where i could.
