WIP Head

[adamjames]

This is a head I'm hoping to use for an animation project. Still early days...

A side view...

...and wireframes if anyone is interested...

My aim now is to clean her up, get some textures sorted out for her and give her hair. Then on to the body...then rigging.

I almost gagged when I saw the amunt of splines. Is this an import? You might want to think about pruning her down (spline wise). Otherwise, animating will not be fun...

If you plan to animate this, you need to reduce the number of patches to about 1/4th of what you have there or less. Otherwise you'll spend the next year just doing the facial expressions. Also, all those triangular patches are likely to cause trouble. If I had that model, I would lock all the CPs, and model a new head around it using as few patches as I could get away with.

 

Besides that, the model itself looks good.

I think you might end up spending the next year just pruning down your geometry! I really like the model though. I agree with ragtag. It'd probably just be easier to lock the cp's and use this head as a basis for your low(er) patch version.

Thanks, guys. Looks like it's back to the drawing board (literally).

 

I don't want to cause myself future problems, so I shall have to remodel.
