Ilidrake Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Looking good. Throw the porcelien material on it to help smooth your splines out. Keep going! I'll be popping in to see this one unfold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Rodney Posted December 17, 2012 Admin Share Posted December 17, 2012 The black is an indication of inverted normals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilidrake Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Select the patch that is black and hit the "F" key. It helps if you have show normals on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 17, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 17, 2012 There's a line that most middle-aged people, including Obama, have that runs from just outside the nose down past the corner of the mouth. Sometimes it's called a "smile line". It's the most visible crease on most people's face and it would make sense to stake that out with an actual spline. If you have that there it will make rigging the face easier to have actual CPs at that landmark to move around rather than try to suggest it by folding the middle of patches. Same line now pulled to the sides and up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 18, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'll also note that just about everyone who is not asian has a substntial lump of flesh hanging from the brow over the eyelid. Spline for that might come down from the brow, bottom out just above the level of the top eyelash, head back towards the top of the eyeball a ways, then head back down to make the actual eyelid.

tbenefi33 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Got the normals all facing out thank you Ilidrake I like that porcelain material it's smooth's it out a lot. How would you add the smile line on this one ? robcat2075 the first pick you got of Obama the one I'm thinking out using for the texture.

tbenefi33 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Thank you robcat for the video info i save it on my memory card and then I found your Al Capone model. You done a heck of a job on it. I deleted the model and restarted the model using robcat info and step on the Capone model this is what I came up with so far I got the patch count down to 106.and a lot smoother and still using the Porcelain mat.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 20, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 20, 2012 Something is weird happening around the corner of the mouth. It looks like your smile line is connecting to the bottom edge of the lip. I'd have run it down to something below the lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbenefi33 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Went back and fixed the smile line and ran it down past the bottom lip. Glad I save the eye and ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbenefi33 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 After redoing the head I got the cps down past a 1000 lot better from the other one is a lot smoother, I need to tweak the head into shape using photo reference and then texture it. After that work on the body I need to fine a good photo reference of his body and decide how I wont to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 21, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 21, 2012 Most of those splines over the top of the head could be ended sooner with hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbenefi33 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hello still tinkering with the Obama head I was just playing around with the decal and need to work on that a lot better that skin tone may be hard to match for the rest of the head but I'll give it try. I got a tweak the head a little more better. Hopefully work on the body later. Thinking about taking the eye brows out using the hair emitter.
