Balloon Boy - 3D Testing

I have taken my character and tried to make him 3D. This would be a test to see if it was a good idea to give him features that either protruded inside of the balloon or out of it. My original idea was to give Balloon boy a 2D face.



The Head was made from a simple sphere the eyes were made by using the 'Insert' feature once it had been turned into an Editable Poly. The Mouth was created by using the 'Extrude'. I then coloured the different parts of the character by using the Multi sub-object mode within the material editor.



I liked the way the shape of the balloon changed when moving him into his different mouth shapes. This is something that wouldn't happen naturally if I just added a video to the balloon boys fetures. I didn't add any eye lids for now but if I do use this version I will do later.
