NURBS Primitives Model with CV Editing

For my NURBS Primitives Model with CV Editing, I made a pig. I got this idea from the pig coaster that I have in my room. The coaster is a flattened out version of a pig, and this gave me the idea for how I could pull the CVs on a sphere into that shape and create the body of a pig.

The pig coaster that inspired this project.

The eyes and head are made out of various sized NURBS spheres. The nose is a NURBS cone with two spheres in it to form the nostrils. The mouth is a NURBS torus that is swept from 0°-180° in order to form the half circle shape. I edited the CVs on the torus so that it would wrap around the head. The tail and ears are made from NURBS cones. The cones for the ears are flattened. The body of the pig is made out of a NURBS sphere. I pulled and edited the CVs on the sphere to form body of the pig with the legs. The pig is colored using Lambert shaders. The scene is lit with two ambient lights. The pig's name is George.
