Introduction

Created as part of the MScBMC Biomedical Communications Technologies course, the project served as both practice and proof of our organic 3D modeling skills. I chose a crocodile skink as the subject for my sculpt for the intriguing sculpting challenges it poses, and also simply because it's cute.

The main challenge of this sculpt was achieving the ordered yet natural look of the crocodile skink's larger spikes. A combination of manual sculpting, duplications, and manual adjustments was used to sculpt these in a timely manner. To fully accentuate the finer details of the crocodile skink, smaller spikes were brush sculpted on top of a displacement map.
