Primitives

Primitives are objects like spheres, cubes and cylinders. These objects are a handy starting point for any model. Take for example this lizard which we make using primitives.

When you say a variety of tools to combine and weld the object into one organic shape, what tools in particular are you talking about? I'm sure you'll have a list of techniques I haven't even heard about. The tutorials are great : )

[GuerrillaCG]

Yeah there's a lot of detail skipped over on that stage, will be for another tutorial. Variety of tools refers to things like cutting/splitting, welding/merging, bridging etc.

[adlsfreund]

great stuff

how do you merge the primitives together so they become smooth and natural-looking like in the final render?

[HDGekko]

OO im still in shock, im only beginning in animation, in my second class atm, and seeing half of the stuff in the video, i commemorate you for it, it's a hard and time consuming process, but u make it look easy xD. this vid made me subscribe, and is there any way u can do a video elaborating on creating the thorny devil from creation to final rendering?
