The Essentials and Beyond
This chapter explored and explained several tools used in modeling, organic or otherwise, to begin the basic form of the soldier character. Reference planes of the soldier design were used at first, and then from a simple box, a torso was formed to match the general shapes shown in the reference images. The arms and legs were extruded and shaped to match as well. As you can see, the more that you model, the easier the process becomes, and the more detailed and finessed your models will turn out.
