Yep, I can definitely see that this original model is much better ~ thought it might be :).

Clients will be the death of us all…thanks for posting your work! :slight_smile:

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Nice head you’ve got there orangefisk, keep it going that way.
Rebecca, thank you very much for your support, I’ll be working on this anatomy exercise of mine until I finish the whole body with bones and muscles, so expect a lot of posts in the near future.:wink:

Oh man - thanx. I just came home from work, and i am really looking forward to working with the model again. Any suggestions for improvemen would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Hey, orangefisk,

Absolutely! Right now there is a problem with nebezial’s tutorial, so I am trying to handle that…getting back to you shortly! :slight_smile:

Ok, here is a really brief review which I did today / yesterday: let me know what you think ~ remember, this is just a suggestion! The model is awesome, here is just what I would recommend:

The eyes are a bit too far up - typically, eyes fall at about the middle of the face. This could be due to the angle of the render, too, but lowering the eyes just a tad would help.

His nose should be slimmer toward the top between the eyes than the bulb of his nose ~ having it thicker at the top makes him look a bit thuggish, which may be what you want, but he looks a bit more natural this way.

His eyebrows then line up a bit better with the eyes.

I would also move the mouth a bit up more toward the nose, as I think it’s a bit too far down now in the face to look completely natural. However, humans are hugely variable, so one never knows! :slight_smile:

Finally, I would widen the neck just a TAD on either side (ignore the lightness on HIS left neck, it’s just because I mirrored the tweak I did on HIS right neck).

And that’s it! :slight_smile:

orangefisk,

Also I think that in the side view his ear is a bit thick and just needs a bit of slimming:

One more thing, I think that the bump on his forehead looks a little odd, and could be broken up into smaller wrinkles…also, here is the ‘before’ and ‘after’ look at your work just in case the gif drives you nuts :wink:

[left]Let me know what you think ~ there wasn’t much to crit here, but these are just a few tweaks which I think could make your model better than it already is! :)[/left]

This is really fun. Well - i couln’t stop myself turning on Z and start getting them small details spot on before going for wrinkels, micro details and so on. Well - your suggested changes just happen to be excatcly the thing i had been changing :).

It’s really nice to have another pair of eyes look at the model, I think I’ve been looking at the model for way to many hours :slight_smile:

Edit
And maaaan Rebecca - thanx a billion for taking the time to take a look at the model. I am really gratefull :thumbsup:

So - here’s the latest update, click the image to get a gigantic screendump-mockup:

Awesome! No problem ~ it’s great to look at such cool work, I learn a lot from it! ~ Thanks for sharing your work! :slight_smile:

Is it my imagination, or did you thin the ears? They look better, but it could be psychological :).

The nose, I think, still needs to be thinned a bit at the top, and be careful not to depress it too far into the face - I think right now that top depression looks a bit too pronounced. The forehead wrinkles, however, look much better!

Overall, looking great, though. Just out of curiosity, was this a personal or a professional project? :slight_smile:

~Rebeccak

#55

I did thin the ears - i actually defined most of the points you mentioned before you mentioned them - really spooky :scream:

I just saw the nose problem - i am going to fix it for the next update :).

This is strictly a personal project :slight_smile: - actually a 3d friend of mine is rigging the base mesh in this minute, so look out for some animation in the near future.

Again - thanx alot for helping Rebacca, all input is welcome.

#56

Woo! Animation! That would be cool if you could post your finished .mov or QT or whatever so we can see the model in action! Looking forward to it :slight_smile:

~Rebeccak

#57

Uuh - i will post some animation for sure if we ever are going to get so far. But i really like working on this model, for starters because i really took me time to get the base mesh right.

Theres is something bothering me though. Everytime i look at the side view something looks wrong - but i can’t seem to figure out what it is. Any idea?

#58

Alrighty, I took a shot at the side view, and here is what I came up with…let me know what you think :slight_smile: ~

#59

Oh yeah! Thats really nice Rebecca. I will try to make them changes asap - kindda got into some quick torso modeling :slight_smile:

Cool, thanks! Hope it helps…I know it’s much easier to suggest corrections for something 3D than to do them (particularly when you’re rotating in 3D space constantly) but hopefully this helps out…hmmm…torsos!
