Join Ryan Kittleson for an in-depth discussion in this video Challenge: Model the tongue, part of Blender: Character Modeling.
Okay, for this challenge we're going to make a tongue.…Now this goes back to…some good old-fashioned polygon modelling techniques.…You'll probably want to start with a cube mesh.…Then you add detail and tweak it into a tongue shape.…Just a hint, you might want to use the mirror modifier.…When the shape of the tongue is done, scale…it, position it and rotate it into the mouth.…Finally, you'll want to do some clean up, like apply a…mirror modifier and rename the object so you can keep track…of it.…This challenge should take about 10 minutes…to do, maybe even 5 if you're fast.…
Alright, let's get down to business.…
