modelling human

[Eugeny]

If u have a huge expiriance on head modelling - yes, fortunatly i still cant model without references.
U can see this on my avatar- dan without references :)

It can be done, it all depends on a few things. If the model is from your own mind, then maybe just a few quick sketches, so you can get a feel for how the mesh should flow and such. If its a real person, tons of reference images.

To do it without reference, you really do need a good understanding of anatomy and form.

the reason I mentioned sketching it is so that you have a better idea of where to place your geometry at, as well as how the polies should flow.

for a cartoon human you sure dont need references allthough references would be better, for realistic modeling, get as many photos you can.

this was only possible with reference (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11581&perpage=20&pagenumber=1)

HMM OK NOW IS A REAL CHALLENGE FOR ME!
I'm an architect and i know just a little bit about anatomy

but i do't want to use photo as reference of my work
so go on...my first attempt

and some sketches made by me as references

thank for the advice to everyone

for now is not very good but look how many polygons..very low

[Carlocki]

maybe a moderator has to put this one in the modelling forum....to keep others people on board

Eugeny- Is my first head but i want to make this tutorial alos to learn some anatomy

Twidup- I'm improving mesh position every day....i'm just using the tutorial very few information on subpatch position


MrWyatt- your head rocks!!! expecially texture. One day maybe all cg talk0people who has done a realistic man has to put them togheter and make an animation...What a good challenge!!!
At that time i hope to do my part.
Anyway is not a cartoon render. It ought to be a human model for me to learn anatomy and to have a good human body for reference for every occasion

Good luck :)
From my expiriens i found poit-to point technique mach easer.
