Elephant Nails and tutu

I made the elephants tutu my cloning the body and then deleting soem fo the polygons, when a had a hoop shape I then extruded the edge and mvoed the vertexes to make a tutu effect. This was very easy to make. I then attatched it to the body.

After I made the tutu, I came across a big problem. One of the arms had become severly distorted and it wouldnt let me undo it. Because of this I thought it would be easiest if i remade the arms. They did not take very long to do. I later found out that the mesh was distorting because of being linked to more than one object.













The Elephant’s nails were very simple to do as I just simply created a multi/sub object material to create the different colours for the nails and the skin and applied it to the arms and legs. I then moved the vertexes to create arches for the nails and then selected the polygons and changed the polygon material ID in the edit poly modifier. I thought that the nails gave the elephant and very nice realistic effect.













This is the final image of the elephant. I am very impressed with how it is looking at the moment and I cant wait start animating.
