Duplicate and prepare the model, create G1-continuous lofts, patch and boolean operations, and sculpt a smooth glabella surface with careful curve and edge work in Blender.

Model a nose for iron mike using side and front view curves, loft and revolve to a solid, patch and boolean to glabella, then refine with nostrils and pipe fillets.

Learn to sculpt the nasolabial fold by constructing precise edge lines, establishing tangency with isoparametric curves, and lofting with G1 continuity for a watertight nose area.

Learn to resurface the nose by imprinting curves, bridging edges with G1 continuity, lofting and patching, while managing redundant topology and mirrored meshes for a cleaner, integrated finish.

Resurface the forehead by creating guiding curves, bridging edges with G0/G1/G2 continuity, and lofting isopyrum curves to imprint a smooth skull surface in Blender.

Learn to sculpt realistic eyebrows in Blender by using a duplicated reference image, manipulating control points and curves, trimming, joining, and lofting for smooth transitions and accurate placement.

Practice eyelid filleting using the piping technique, adjusting curves and section size to avoid self-intersection, then loft, join, and patch with isoparametric curves and G1 continuity.

Create eyes and eyeballs by shaping two curves, lofting with G0 continuity, and forming ellipsoids with pupils, then mirror and refine for a Tyson sculpture in Blender.

Master hair modelling in Blender by constructing ears and hair with curves, lofts, guiding curves, isoparam curves, and patching for G1 continuity and clean topology.

Master Pureref for reference images in Plasticity by enabling always on top, importing and flipping images with shift alt, adjusting opacity, and using control t to ignore the mouse.

Create an ear model in Blender by laying out control point curves, using a reference image, and exploring lofting and piping to form smooth, connected surfaces.

Loft and refine ear geometry by converting circles to ellipses, piping edges, and patching surfaces, then use boolean operations and thickening to close gaps and create a continuous surface.

Master ear modelling in Blender using curves, patches, lofting, and G1 continuity. Export Illustrator SVG for an Iron Mike logo, convert to STL, and import to Plasticity.

Model an iron Mike-inspired anvil head by building curves, lofting surfaces, and refining continuity with isopyrum curves, G1 continuity, extrusions, and XNurbs patching.

Explore anvil modeling by forming a base from a center rectangle and circles, then loft and mirror shapes with guiding curves, patch and boolean operations to finalize a solid.

Create and convert a vector logo in illustrator to a step file for plasticity using an svg-to-step tool, then import, bevel, and extrude the letters and prep for blender bridge.

Configure a camera and views, set a 50–70 cm, 300 dpi poster render in EV with a comic shader, black world, and high-quality shadows for a cyberpunk style Blender project.

Learn a six-light toon shader setup in blender, including sun, two area lights, a point light, two spotlights, plus colors, intensities, and shadow settings to illuminate a model.
