The Making of Nature: Part 2, Models


It’s valuable to get into scale models quickly. Some forms are like puzzles. To gain a better understanding of this complex form, I made a small, clay model. Other popular sketch modeling materials include foam, cardboard, wood or paper. I have been using this same clay for years. Even at this early stage, important decisions are being made about proportion. These decisions make a great impact on the final design. From what I learn from this clay model, I am ready to start building a full scale computer model.
