Normal (left) and LUTO (right) 30-week fetus
The 3 key fetal stages I will be showing in my animation.
Sculpting progress
I continued refining my sketches, and worked up a 30-wk fetus (so cute!). I think, for now, I’ll be good to leave the fetus models alone and start working on the peripheral anatomy.

Pathology
Since my base sketch models are completed, I moved onto developing the pathologic fetuses. Referencing ultrasounds, I placed the distended bladder and sculpted the fetus around it. The bladder can get huge! Hopefully, I will be able to morph between these two versions to control the scale of the distension in my animation.
I’m planning on revisiting an old program I used for game development called Wrap3, which will allow me to set up a “good” topology, and then use the same topology for all of my models.
