Modeling problem

[Dave Black]

Perhaps you could explain your final intentions for the nose, as of right now, it's difficult to make any sort of comment.

I'm going to take a stab at it as it stands, though.

It looks like your edge loops are too simplistic. You have too many non-quad polys, and you need to begin adding more global detail to your edge loops.

Look forward to your responce.

i want to make a sort of gorila nose

what you mean with global detail to your edge loops??

[Dave Black]

Well, this is kinda a big topic to explain.

Have a look at my challenge entry wireframe to see how I did my character's nose.

You can also look at some of the other wireframes in the gallery and wip section to see examples of this...

do you have msn or anything like that?????

[Teckniel]

or can you show me how to set it up if that is not againts the rules

[Dave Black]

The topic we are talking about here is very large. Discussions on the proper topology of edge loops could fill a book. If you have specific questions, I may be able to answer them. Do a search in the forums for edgeloop and you should find quite a bit of understanding. There are some excelent tutorial videos from ambient whisper, and others available for download that will show you how to properly model organic shapes with edgeloops.

You problem with your model stem from a lack of understanding on the basic principles and rules that govern sub-d modeling. With a bit of research, you should be able to find this understanding.

If you have questions of a specific nature, I'd be more than happy to discuss them with you. Keep in mind, however, that my abilities are certainly not of the greatest caliber, which should be quite apparent from my challenge post.

Good luck!

:thumbsup:

so if i goto google i have to search for sub-d modling???
and can i have your msn?

[Dave Black]

Well, I actually meant to search here at CGtalk.com

I'd love to chat with you about this topic, I do not, however, have MSN messenger. If you would like to email me, or use the private message function on this forum, I'd be more than willing to help.

Thanks for the reply on my challenge, BTW.

Look forward to hearing from you.

:)

Oh, and if it would help, I can use a translator to convert my english to whatever you'd like.

Hey, thanks for the kind words about my challenge entry.

I completely agree about the challenge. It's a way to force yourself to learn and grow, as well as produce something. I don't care about winning, as I don't really have a chance, but it's a great learning experience.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

a way to force yourself to learn and grow, as well as produce something
