Sculpting objects digitally from "summary" of Autodesk Maya 2023 Basics Guide by Kelly Murdock
Digital sculpting is a fantastic way to create 3D objects with great detail and complexity. It involves manipulating the shape of a digital object through a virtual interface, allowing you to make the shapes you imagine come to life.- Using digital sculpting software provides a powerful way to create great 3D objects out of nothing! It allows you to create various shapes, sizes and textures with the help of an array of brush sets.
- Digital sculpture is usually done in three distinct stages: base forms, detailing and finally texturing. In each phase, specific tools are used to mould and shape the object into its desired form.
- A range of different brushes that act as virtual carving knives can be used to shape and mould the object. Letting you create realistic looking sculptures with accurate texture and surface details.
- You can use one of the existing digital sculptures or even start from scratch. Depending on your project, the size and complexity of the object can be adjusted to match your goals.
- Certain pieces of digital sculpting software offer a range of manipulation options as well as effects which allow users to recreate the look of burning bridges or chinking rocks.
