Facial modeling, texturing and setup

[Roman]

Nice head, really like the profile. And very effective and clean cage, nice. Works really well wtih teh rig and underchin, nice detail! Hope to see more from it, maybe some animation even, just to see the rig.

[sergicaballer]

Thanks for your coments!. In this link you can find the skinning test.

==SKINNING TEST== (http://www.sergicaballer.com/imagenesForos/skinningTest_01.mov)

all C&C are wellcome!

Hi, currently I'm working on Blend Shapes. For this, I will simulate deformations made by facial muscles, in this case corrugator muscle.

C&C are welcome.

Hi! Since my last post I've been working with facial blend shapes, UV layout, displacementMap and some texture maps, but final image it's not finished yet!
At this point of project I want to show you the current state of displacement with early lighting.

Very nice work. Very smooth topology! I love the double-chin! :D
He's a real *Charakter* :thumbsup:
Maybe the back of the head a bit too far back? Nitpicking :shrug:
Looking forward to see the updates!

Greetz, Ky.

I'm not too fond of the ears. Even for a stylized character. They're too flat and fat for my taste.


Other than that: I love it!

If you don't want to get into the shading yourself I'd volunteer for it :bounce:

Could we get some more details about the setup you're building?

[sergicaballer]

Thanks for you comments!



philip I'm not very satisfied with my ear work. I think that maybe are big and fat too, but at the same time old people have a big ears and I think that it's possible. Fat ears are caused by the gamma of displacementMap, and it's probably that I correct them. Thanks for your offer to make the shading process, but I'm currently working on it Thanks anyway!.

The setup it's a combination between bones & blendShapes to correct the skinning errors and a couple of expressions to control extra deformations as neck or double-chin.

As soon as it's possible I will post colorMap and first shading tests.:shrug:



Thanks!

PD: sorry for my poor English

[droarty]

VERY NICE!

It looks very natural too the way its structured in poses.. keep at it!

[sergicaballer]

Thanks for your coments droarty!!

I hope post a new images with colorMap with new posses and facial expressions soon.

Hi! this is a new update with colorMap test. This model doesn't have specular map, only displacement, color and bumpMap. BumpMap isn't yet finished.

Interesting shadows. I like the color of them but some of them need to be softer, like under the ear. The bump mapping on the ear looks out of place. You need more variation (more reds) in the diffuse map, like on the ear and around crooks of the nose etc.

[Lacrevette]

Verry impressive modeling ;)
Good luck and have fun with the shaders.

stuh505: Thanks for your comments. I agree with you in your comments about shadows and bump map of ear area. In fact I'm working with bumpMap, so in few days I hope post new images of it. Too I will experiment to add more red in areas that you say. Thanks!

Lacrevette: Thank for your words!

The skinning test is really good! Keep up the good work.

[shreedharcva]

Hi Friend,

Unknowingly you have created a 3D head model of my Uncle, could u pls send model file to me,.

regards,
shreedhara.

[sergicaballer]

I've been working with lighting and postpro to make a better feel of the dispersion light under skin. C&C are wellcome!

[shreedharcva]

hey frnd,

It seems that the head is too lengthier than normal humans.

I am not a pro, but its just I thought.

[Augh]

Dude with this much character has surely earned eyebrows ;) Tho he's so expressive even without :P As said by numerous already, the under chin wins.

Really nice clean progression through mapping and setup stages man, ofc the model himself is rather impressive ;)

Agreeing with previous ear crits is about all I can offer for critique, I kinda like the skull proportioning some mentioned as a nitpick, it gives him a kinda strange air, and I think it works as a positive.

Cheers

[sergicaballer]

Thanks for your comments Augh. I've think to make a ear corrections and little bit asymmetry to add more natural feeling to correct him. Maybe adding irregularities at skull.

thanks!

[sergicaballer]

Hy!I leave a small test in which you can see the skinning with wireframe and different blendShapes face based on the action from mimic muscles.

An advance of one expression, I hope to be able to put more soon.

I've done some changes in mesh to add more control over facial expressions. Now I can do wrinkles directly on the mesh. Too I've done correct some triangles on mesh to avoid future errors with displacement on render.
C&C are welcome

I've done a little setup of fleshy eyes to add more credibility to model.

Might I ask, how did you rig your eyelids to do that when the eye move as well as overall having them open and close regardless of eye position.

[sergicaballer]

Baothebuff: The fleshyEsyes setup is composed by three separate parts. First, a simply setDrivenKey controls the aperture of upper eyelid and lower drived by eye up/down orientation.
Secondly, orientation of eyes causes a push on eyelids because they aren't 100% spheres. To do this effect I have used a closestPointOnSurface between a cylindrical surface situated where the eye socked on the skull would be, and a locator situated at the most extern position of the eye. This output information drives the blendShapes of the effect of pushing eyelids.
Finally, the dotProduct between the vector of eye in repose and the vector of movement of the eye drives the magnitude of the second point.
I’m not sure if my explanation is absolutely clear because my english is very poor. Thanks for your interest!:sad:

[pmaddick]

Hi there,

First of all, great work. Loving the textures and modelling. Will be following this thread. :thumbsup:

Secondly, I am also working on a similar project and your character has a striking resemblance to the guy I am modelling!!! It's unbelievable.

I would appreciate your help as I'm learning the whole process.

My thread is: Male Head - Back Again.

Cheers. :)

[Chokmah]

I love this kink of work:

Good modeling
Good texturing/Rendering
And a good control of your model in order to animate it!

Great work ! :thumbsup:

[sergicaballer]

Hy! thanks for yor coments!:)
pmaddick: You can trust with me for any type of aid!

[storman]

Hi

Fun character you`ve made! :thumbsup: Made with love. Make his eyes fine and it will be good character.

[sergicaballer]

Thanks storman! I started to make some tests with eyes, but nothing definitive.

[sergicaballer]

I'm working/correcting blendShapes. This is a early blendShapes movietest.

Recently I have added a little series of images like this one in my CGportfolio to show volume and wire of a different faces I've modeled.
