Its my late entry with latest wip model, along with ref & steps.

Hi RageOfAges,

Thanks for first compliment in this work.
I added the url, as you replied me in FaQ section.

Plan to finish base mesh by this weekend.

#6

pls c the following snapshots of latest work.

(1) spans are added / modified to achieve the wrinkles during the facial time (as well for default model too :-).
(2) head proportion has changed.

as for today, file is closed with pending of ear, neck, inner mouth parts.
As next 2 days are holiday, i’ll try to finalize the base mesh with hair / eyebrow part (:wip: )

#7

Spans are added/modified to achieve wrinkles while facial.

#8

Head proportion has changed & worked on details around eye, forehead, cheeks.

#9

Hey. I like the progress, the conexion of the ear with the head looks like a little small, but I don’t know if you’ll be going for a cartoon style or nor, but looking the first reference of your photos, he has that appearance. goodluck! :thumbsup:

#10

Good progress. Looking at your references, I would say extend the scalp/neck area a little from behind the ear. Also, looking at it from the front it seems like his head should be a little wider on the top than what you have right now. Other than that, looking good so far :thumbsup:

#11

thanks stridiggio & d8D.

ear, skull part are adjusted.
coat-suit also added to enhance the feel.

#12

In next upload, planning to do eyebrow, hair & bumps (in face) in uv/texture to freeze the base model.

#13

His ears look a little underdeveloped. A bit like a deaf person.

#14

thanks spin99…

yes u r right! ears were looking big & underdeveloped.
Now it has been modified & will be upload… (finetune wip)

#15

following image has updated with

fur test of hair (wip) : Dummy skull mesh inside the obama’s head to grow fur.

Paint Fx eyebrows[size=2] : (a) Pfx brows converted to Poly[/size]
(b) created nurbs curve & wire deform to brow mesh.
© This curve will be wrap to poly head of obama for facial purpose.

Ears, Nose are finetuned.

just i completed the uv… will be work on bump & will be upload in next version to freeze the model (mmm!..soon).





#16

It’s looking good so far, but I would lose that fur. Barack Obama is black, and a black man’s hair (the actual hairs) usually isn’t straight, but is somewhat curly.

#17

thanks animasta,

am not good in fur…
your comments boost me to learn fur techniques & have been working to acheive it…
(hold-on for bump texture for a while :-).
will be upload soon…

#18

this image has updation of fur & light.
(hold on for bump texture! bcoz have been learning fur techniques & preparing good light )

previously i used GI light.
I think, its not good for show casing character models (or) am not good in handling GI.
<< : plz comment.

right now, am using 3 point light techniques (+ 2 more fill lights :slight_smile:
