Feet
Kila is wearing shoes, and most of the time her shoes will be simple shapes. For the pur-
poses of this discussion, however, we will explore the possibilities of bare feet.
I have in my Morgue various versions of feet, just as I do hands.
Figure 3.100
shows some
of these choices, which are quite basic. As you look from the left to the right, you can see
how I have duplicated and reduced the higher-resolution foot to create the next in the line.
So they start at 140 polygons and end with just 25.

Bare feet, at various resolutions
Inthissection,wewillseehowtocreatethehigher-resolutionfoot.Then,ifweneedto,we
can reduce it. Once we have our bare foot created, a few simple steps will transform it into
Kila's athletic shoe. Let's start with a new scene.
1.
There are 10 subdivisions around the axis of our leg, so let's keep that amount for
the foot. Create a new cylinder with Subdivisions Around Axis set to
10
and Sub-
divisions Along Height at
3
.
2.
Switch to the side view. As demonstrated in
Figure 3.101
,
select the faces at the
front and extrude them, setting the number of Divisions to
4
.
