Kathrine Clark ~ Week Two ~ Duck ~




After working with the organic form of the duck, I over extended a number of surface points resulting in an elongated sphere. The distorted solid resembled a swan so I decided to morph the duckling into a swan.

In order to create the head and body it was necessary to rebuilt with a lot of extra control points. I also changed the degree and was able to rebuild both of the spheres. The neck was problematic. I tried a number of different techniques before learning how to use the pipe tool. It was very time consuming and I have definitely learned some other quicker methods.


The swan originally was rendered in the traditional black, white and red colours. However, as soon as I dropped in the titanium, coupled with the brushed titanium, I felt that the elegant appearance lent itself more to my initial product idea; a hidden compartment within the body of the animal. So, I lined the convex surface with a rich coffee colour to compliment the beak and to be somewhat inconspicuous.
