Cute Owl Pot for Succulents

I had never dared to sculpt in 3d, but when I saw the Instructables tutorial "Sculpting in Fusion 360" it seemed so simple that I decided to make a succulent pot for my mom, you can see her Instructable here:

Basically I followed the same steps that the tutorial mentioned, but instead of a funny ghost I made an adorable owl. You can download the model from here: https://a360.co/2xSZq2h

• Fusion 360

First I made two spherical shapes for the owl base, one for the body and one for the head.

With the "Edit form" and "Subdivide" tools I moved and divided the faces
of the initial top sphere to make the shape where the owl's eyes go, this shape is a little flattened. I only made one eye, then with the “mirror” tool I made the other eye.

I also formed the wing with the same tools from the previous step and
with the "Insert edge" tool, the wing consists of a small lateral promontory and the tail consists of a little mountain towards the back.

I made a flat cut at the base of the owl so it can stand. For this I made a sketch with a rectangle at the height of the base.

I did a sketch at eye level with a couple of lines to locate a sphere in
the correct position of the eyes. I used the Create -> Sphere tool. I created the eyes as a new body.

I combined both spheres, made a fillet at their joint, then made an
internal hole in the geometry with the Shell tool and kept only one half with the Extrude tool.

I made a sketch at nose level and with the Revolve tool I gave it the rounded shape it has, I made this geometry as Join.

I mirrored the geometry with the Mirror tool, at that moment I was able to admire the complete owl.

I did a sketch with a big circle and then I extruded a hole in the owl's body.

From this moment on, all you have to do is: create sketches, make many circles to your liking, extrude and mirror.

I made 2 base planes at 40 ° and 140 ° to make the side holes.

There are many holes! I made these medium holes one by one, in the next step I will tell you how to make holes faster.

I created 4 planes to make small holes for each remaining space on the owl's body.

Make the main small holes, you only need to make a row of holes.

Make the paths where the holes will go, I used the "Fit point spline" tool.

Extrude each main small hole in different operations.

Use the "Pattern on path" tool to multiply the Extrude operation along the Spline the required number of times.

Mirror all holes.

I made a cylinder as a base, simulating a table and put a wooden
material included in the library of fusion materials. I put white material on the owl's body and black material on the eyes.

I downloaded a free succulent model from the internet (https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/plant/pot-plant/baby-aloe-plant) to complement the owl pot model.

I set the size of the final image and rendered it.
