Practice question · Sort into groups
Sort each activity by the stage of modelling it belongs to.
Groups: Gesture · Blocking in · Refinement
- Setting mass proportions
- Setting main axis quickly
- Judging heights of masses
- Adjusting surface details
- Tracing movement path
- Refining plane joins
Hints
- The stages run from the largest decision to the smallest.
- Anything about axis or movement is the first stage.
Show the answer
Gesture: Setting main axis quickly, Tracing movement path
Blocking in: Setting mass proportions, Judging heights of masses
Refinement: Refining plane joins, Adjusting surface details
Why
The order matters because each stage constrains the next. A gesture that is wrong makes every proportion built on it wrong too, which is why a few minutes at the start are worth more than an hour at the end.
