Hypernurbs continued - Legs

Moving on the the legs, put the Knife too in Loop mode and add a loop above and below the knee.

Start adjusting the points to give the impression of some underlying muscles in the leg. Keep checking against the Hypernurb

Adjust points that form the footpad and add two more edge loops at the bottom of the leg to form the foot.

Select the points of the lower edge loop and scale up. Select the points of the upper edge loop and scale down slightly.

Form toes on the foot. Select the two front faces and extrude out. Then scale down and slightly rotate down and pull out. Finally, lift the middle edge...

Now do two inner extrudes and a regular extrude to form the toe nail.

A better method (that I thought of later) is to do one inner extrude to form the base of the toe nail, and to use the hypernurb weighting (holding down the period key and mouse dragging) to form the sharp crease at the nail base. I use used this to put a sharp edge on the shell. I'll cover this in class...

Repeat to form the left and right toe...

Repeat the whole leg process for the rear leg...

Now to prepare a UV map for texturing...
