Making of The Revenge of Snowman by Alex Cervantes, Mexico


Hat – The hat was fairly simple. It was a basic cylinder that had one of its top/bottom extruded to make it a top hat. Then I used the FDD 4x4x4 to give the movement look to it.



Button- The button was another item that was very simple to create but without little items and detail like this it doesn’t really come to live, well at least that’s my point of point and hope you also think like that.



Scarf – Let me admit that I really thought about not adding the scarf on neither character. I didn’t know how I was going to do it, then for some reason I thought instead of using Cloth Fx why don’t we make it by using cylinder and plane. Well, let me tell you it worked like a charm. I thought it look ok, so I kept it. Then I added little splies which I gave volume to so they would look like little scarf hairs.


Branches – Well, the branches were made in a very similar way as every tree or bracnch is usually made, but simpler. The method consist of using your imagination on how a branch would look like and then just extruding them and changing their position so no little branch would look the same. Sounds stupid and easy, doesn’t it? Well it is easy but not stupid. :)
