Sculpting/Modeling Techniques

This is where I have found a few sculpting and modelling techniques that will help me with my own models.

Makeup

Nail Varnish

And there's a link to his small tutorial, which is all I could find: http://nonius3d.tumblr.com/post/24500795628/folks-im-gonna-release-the-first-volume-of-my

One such tutorial that has helped are these 3 wine bottle tutorials which I think I can definitely adapt for a nail varnish bottle.

This was to help me add liquid if I think I might need this later: http://golden-cg.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55:realglassofwater&catid=39:material&Itemid=67

And also the help from digital tutorials: http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/showthread.php?26913-Bringing-glass-detail-from-ZBrush-to-Maya

This is an idea of how I can create my makeup brushes:

Jewellery

For my necklace i can add hinge constraints for my ball necklace ideas.

the way this artist has created their frames is a way I'd like to look into my detailing on the necklaces and possibly the table. (using masking and fine brushes)

This gives me an idea of how to create my brush:

Soft toy

For my plush soft toy I have found some tutorials on fur ZBrush techniques which he ends up looking like this:

Bystedt, Daniel (2012) Tutorial: Create fur with FiberMesh 3D World Available at <http://www.3dworldmag.com/2012/08/16/create-fur-with-fibermesh/> Accessed 12th November 2012

These videos are unlisted, so I can not show here, but can all be found on the same website as the above <mos.3dworldmag.com/tdw158-t_zbrush.zip>

The artist talks about setting up the model for easy use to attach fur, and to set up how long the fur is etc.

Dressing table

This tutorial is useful for the curtains under my dressing table: http://www.tutcity.com/out/maya/simulating-cloth-in-maya.1290.htm

And this will help me create a curtain that moves if I have the time: http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/PhysXClothReference.html

This forum will help me on my mirror material and reflectivity: http://simplymaya.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24087&highlight=Mirror+reflect

I know how to basically make a table so that shouldn't be too much of a worry and there are many different tutorials out there if i do get stuck at a later date.
