cfree68f Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 See.. not so hard after all is it ;-) I worked for about 40 minutes and figured I'd gotten far enough. its not perfect.. but its got some kind of character.. maybe a mardi gras mask.. Happy MardiGras everyone. and the model. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. caleb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfree68f Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 keep it up, like drawing you can only get better with practice. I've got a couple of models and faces under my belt so with the "handicap" (sporting term, not the other) you actually beat me by a mile ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totlover Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 that face model is really nice for 40 minutes... my nose took about 15 minutes and i still have to practice to get a more definite shape on the nose.... it was too rounded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Good going so far. The thing about making heads is that now that I have so many it takes me about 10 to 20 minuted to make any of my head because I can just stitch together pieces of heads and bodies to make anything now. Of course I still have to mold and tweak and model some other stuff. BUt for alot of my stuff it's getting to the point where I am sculpting more than modeling. So keep working and keep making everything . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higginsdj Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hmmmmm....... Doing them properly isn't! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfree68f Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thats a good first ear Tot. Jeff is right. I hardly model faces from scratch unless they are very different from ones I have already. That 40 minute face was painful to start with since I was a little out of practice with "from scratch modelling" But like a bike it came back. Feel free to disect it as you wish. If you see the alien on my avatar. He's actually the cooper model I did but tweaked for about 15 minutes using the distortion cage tool. Keep up the good work. Oh and take any criticism with a grain of salt. Everyone started out learning to model and some people still can't model a good ear ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higginsdj Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yes - sorry, shouldn't have been so abrupt. The problem with your ear is that it is patch thin. The shape is fine but you need to model it as you would a head so.......... 1. Take the outer edge that you curved out and turn it around the back of the ear and extrude a couple of times. 2. Now take the double layer edge and fold it in to get the 'flap' shape. 3. Complete the inside part of the mesh since you will be attaching the outer part of the mesh to the rest of the head. I've attached my baby head model that has 'borrowed' ears for you to dissect. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totlover Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 yes if i was making a true head model that would be the priority but right now i am just trying to figure out if i can make the shape of the ear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
