I based her silhouette absolutely on images of dolls that I found. Sketched out a design for her. I actually had to model her twice, as after her first version I was advised that the way I&#8217;d done her shoulders, knees and elbows would never deform correctly during animation. So I rebuilt her&#8230; funny how making something that everyone makes, a sexy girl in 3d, gives me the most trouble&#8230; typical, for me anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Beauty may be more than skin deep but I think she turned out pretty well for a shell.
