Creating a Werewolf in Blender – Part 2

by Jonathan Williamson

In this halloween themed Blender 2.5 video tutorial we begin by sculpting a werewolf head and a human head. Then we go on to create the transformation effect of the human becoming a werewolf.

Part 02 of this series continues the sculpting process by creating the teeth and talking a bit more about planning for the transformation stage.

    Awesome tutorial, and some very nice sculpting work! I’m secretly hoping there will be hair too;) It not only works with shapekeys, but you can animate the children particles’ “Length” value to get a growing effect.

    Awesome! Will you be adding fur to the face later? That would be cool. Also, Sylvester, you can find a tutorial on how to make a human head in like the earliest tuts they did. It’s on 2.49, but the modeling tips still work. Just search how to model a human head. I think that’s the title.

    Amendment: I didn’t know we’d be sculpting the human head later. So don’t look up the old tutorials, the new ones will be better, I’m sure.

    This is really cool, Jonathan. What would make it even better would be to make the body and clothing to. But this is awesome just the way it is.

    Lovely series Johnathan,

    I know it would be churlish to complain but I’m getting quite frustrated waiting in anticipation for the bit about Shape Keys. I love your sculpting and wish I could sculpt anything even close to this good, but I feel the series seems more about that, than morphing using Shape Keys.

    I’ve had a go myself with some very basic models but for some reason I can’t get the base mesh which I duplicated to accept the shape keys of the modelled version. I’ve looked online but the only tutorial dedicated to copying Shape Keys across to duplicated base meshes is for an earlier version of Blender 2.5 and the copy function isn’t the same I have discovered by simply playing around that when you right click on the Shape Key it can be copied to other selected objects but it didn’t work for me.

    Anyway sorry to sound ungrateful, I’m not really, I will wait like a good girl for the following episodes ;)

    Thanks Johnathan.

      Heh I completely understand Rebecca! Having done some tests and been very pleasantly surprised with the results I am very eager to demo this feature. From this point the next step is sculpting the human head part and then we will get to transform it. Those two may come as a single video or two depending on how long the human sculpting takes. Thanks for the support and patience!

        Thanks for the reply, Jonathan, I will look forward to that. I’m still very new to Blender but have learnt an awful lot from your tutorials which have helped me create my own interpretations on your ideas. Recently I took your Pumpkin tutorial and mixed it with your Bouncing Ball animation to create this Halloween Feature:

        Also I apologise for spelling your name wrong in my first post ;)

    Great Tut! Thanks Jonathan!! Can’t wait till the next one!

    On the line of transformations, I would love a tutorial on how to make a character with properties like ‘B.O.B’ from Monsters vs alien :)
