age234 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I started off this little adventure making a 3D version of an Al Gore caricature I have. I wanted to animate him singing Paul Shanklin's hilarious "Al Gore Paradise". But, as you can see below, drawings are usually made with two dimensions in mind. So with only a side view available, I did the best I could. At the same time I was making my first head model, and I'm still surprised, because I have always been in awe that people could make a model by making only half of the model. Unfortunately, Al Gore will have to wait. In the meantime, I have a nifty start on a gnome/leprechaun (can't believe I spelled that right) thing. So, why not? It's my first head model, why not make it my first fully-rigged character? I need the practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted February 29, 2004 Admin Share Posted February 29, 2004 As a first head... looks good and I can see the resemblance! Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
age234 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 I picked up OS X Beta 1 (great work, Randy!), so now I can render. I've started on the textures for the face and added eyes. I'm trying to decide what age he should be. I think an old man with a knotty old cane would be cool. And I also need a name. Any ideas?

KingSalami Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 cool head, looking forward to the rest of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
age234 Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 Now the whole head is textured... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachBG Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I like the veins under the eye... was that done with texturing or modeling? It looks like you might have some spline layout issues which are causing creasing (or that may be what you're after). In particular the three-point patch at the side of the nostril worries me. Still, very good for a first head. Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Smith Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Great model. I like the angularity. I would say, though, to broaden the head and face a bit. The words "aquiline" and "hatchet-like" spring to mind right now. Keep up the great work. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
age234 Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 Okay, I have made a hat for him, and put some hair on the back of his head. The veins under his eyes are modeled, but not by design. I actually hadn't noticed them until you pointed them out, Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
