Hi Zachary, Your right about having more then 2 splines per cp. posted an image comparing what i modelled before using 3 splines and after.. the top was what i originally modelled.. but then i was thinking theres got to be a way to use less patches.. and since i'm using porcelain it seems to work.. without porcelain it does show a crease though. it seems fine when i bend the toes as well. thanks for bringing it up, i didn't even think about it or notice anything cause i have been using porcelain all along. Mike

Just some feet for today. Once i get his hands done and a few accessories i'm going to rig him... i'm going to see how things will bend if need be probably add a few more splines.. the belly area might need it.

Here is todays progress... It is a He, but I left out the privates.

Nice job Zachary, He looks related to Homer Simpson... I almost expect him to say "donuts... " with a gurgley voice any second now. :)

Awsome Blueberry Frank! Are you going to post some animations ? Mike

Thats a Brilliant Islandia Robert ! hehe sorry, just had to do that.

Here is some more progress for the day... thanks for the comments all you A:M Masters Mike

hehe... I have to add a "me too post" to THis Amazing render!!! Excellent job Yves

Thanks guys for the compliments ! Here is an animated gif of some screen grabs i took over the course of the modelling...

Hi Everyone, I' am working on an animation and just started modelling today... Here is a progress of the head after about 6 hrs. Mike

is A:M 7.1 is the latest version you are using ? The interface has changed somewhat since then.. but it's good. look forward to seeing it textured. m :)

Hi Alan, looking good! is that a magic wand in his hand ?

Hi Matthew, Great job!

Hi Matthew, It's hard to crit cause you did a great job! the only thing that i might add would be a few blinks and some motion blur... do you have control over the camera angle, or how you frame your scene in this contest ? Your animation is powerful, but maybe if the camera was closer to the character , or if you were looking at the character from a lower vantage point he would have more authority. thanks for sharing B)

Hi Guys, Here is some more progress on the head, I've been working on the ears mostly... :D I'm aiming to have a completed head... but if i get more time here and there will work on the body. :)

Thanks for the comments everyone, I like asian art and philosopy, i don't have any plans to animate him just yet... will most likey be just for my stills portfolio for the time being and just got the latest A:M cd in the mail so thought I'd give it a spin... :) Here is another wip, I wasn't happy with the way the brow was creasing, so i reworked the mesh a bit. Mike :)

Here is a wireframe as well. m :)

Hi Everyone, Ive been modelling a buddha head the last couple days, attached is what i have sofar... still have to fix the ears and add some snails on his head... Mike :)
