Old Lady

[kashyyyk]

Here is the face of a new model I'm working on. I still have to add hair, that is why there are no ears.

I used Virtual Media Studios tutorial on skinning- http://www.virtualmediastudios.com/tuts/mapping/

 

Any feedback appreciated

the wrinkes on the forehead appear too wide.

 

Based on the darkness around the eyes (not the makeup), and the wrinkles around the mouth, she must be a smoker.

 

Perhaps she has no hair, having just gone thru Chemo for the lung cancer (and that's why she's wearing the beret/hat).

 

This is nice modeling in all, post more

looks interesting. is it for another star wars project?

They are. I'll adjust them once I get the hair figured out.

No this is for a non SW project,.

 

As far as SW goes, I uploaded all my models from my Immortal project for the extra II DVD.

 

I'll post more here as this project comes along.

hmmmm great job eyes unless you want them to be that way i would say make a little better to say the least keep us posted

I agree the wrinkles don't look quite right.

 

I would expect wrinkles to have a cross-section more like a) than b )

maybe all it needs is tweaking your map in a paint program ("curve adjustment") to get a narrower valley and steeper walls.

 

Somewhere around here there's a great tut on face texturing by WIlliam Sutton.

personaly i think the lips are to big, and i really don't like the eyes(unless shes chinese), you should use some elder as a rotoscope. just telling the truth...

[oakchas]

Uh, mage... Ya know the eyes are closed, right? I mean, you did read the entire post, dude, right? I mean... well never mind, know what I mean?

[the_black_mage]

....still don't like'em.

I rotoscoped an asian face. I used a close up from the yellow series and then a generic old lady for the wrinkles.

 

Once I'm off work tomorrow, I'll add eyes and repost it with the eyes open and fix the forhead.

Here it is with eyes and the forehead wrinkles smaller.

asians tend not to age so much.. until very old... just an observation. Otherwise, I think too much wrinkling... But that's not to say it doesn't match YOUR character... It's just "over the top" aging from MY perspective.

[kashyyyk]

Here it is with a body and hair. I need to skin the hands, legs and skirt.

A bit of a cheat or a quick way to do wrinkle maps is to use the high-pass filter in Photoshop.

 

Draw simple thin lines for the wrinkles then run the high pass filter... tweak the settings. Then use levels or curves to darken or lighten the effect.

 

If the lines are too thick or too thin in the first step... use the Maximum or Minimum filter to thicken or thin the lines.

 

I love the high pass filter... I use that thing all the time.

I'll have to try that. Thanks for the tip Vern.
