maybe an Adam Sandler or a Ben Afleck, but doesn't really look like anybody in particular to me. Improved texturing might get your message across.

but again it doesn't look close enough to really jump up and say "Hi I'm a Hollywood Actor." I would take a head shot of the actor you are trying to copy and build the head from that pic. THEN I would do a simple plainar map of the front of the face and apply that same image ajust you map. Cut the front of the face out and add it to the texture you will be using and work on finishing the head there. Using that image as a referance more than the actual texture. (photos and textures are hard to match up and often end up looking bad when put together, unless you are really good.) I hope that helps some, then rest of the model looks good though.

matt damon? err thats how u spell his name right? :)

[baaah888]

yay. it is Matt damon from bourne identity,

Gradiuscancer. yeah the texturings not great, but im still learning that, and once this semesters over i'll be setting myselly a few texturing exercises over the summer holiday. (

Dhin and money_bags42, im glad you got it, :D and dhin same as above but, i did use a front and side image for the modeling and tries to use it for face map but like you said it it looks bad unless your really good. so in the end i ended up just textporting and colouring it using my other pics as references, oh and the texturings only worth 5% of the mark as its a modeling exercise rather than texturing.

Oh almost forgot i built the head as a spline cage so i could try multi rez modeling, but the low res model lost too much of its features because of my strict 2000 poly limit,

all in all im just glad someone knew who it was :D

but cheers for the feedback and after 16th of may(end of term wooohooo) i'll have time to do some touching up of all my models, and start getting them up to the high quality i accociate with cgtalk :thumbsup:

cheers.

2k poly limit should give you enough to make the head better, you can reduce the number of polies elsewhere in the modle easily. You need to look at areas of detail. Arms and legs can be made 4 or 5 sided easily with out losing the look you want, it simple a mater of roating the verts enough to keep it from being square. Of course I rarely use splines, NURBS, or patches when doing LPM, due to the fact that you lose to much control over you polies.

[baaah888]

yeah i know what you mean about the spline making you feel your losing full control, im still working on a high poly head for using the same spline cage that i used for the low poly and its causing my endless little problems, im really tempted just to redo the high poly head tonight as a box model, i'll post it here within the next week , but my coursework hand in dates are getting real close, an ive got plenty to do so they take priority for now,

the high poly model would be used for fmv's and promotional work and so doesnt have a poly limit, boy am i tempted to throw polys around here :)

cheers,
