I found these progress shots of the leg anatomy poster so I thought I would put them up in case anyone would find them interesting or useful. Pretty much the same as the progress shots of the front torso but I also had a picture of the initial sketch I started with.

Nice work and good tips.

Hi 11th Door,

I already meantioned how inspiring I find your geometric anatomy :slight_smile:
Well I wanted you to see some practical results on my humble poly torso (?)
Modelling has been going slow but steady, since I’m revising all my anatomy knowlegde.

(last images) Would love your comment.

I just have to get that Hogarth book someday.
Tell me does he also use block colours on his muscle studies?
Are you doing a book someday?

I’m truly enjoying this thread :slight_smile:

Hey Spin99,

Nice work on the model, it is looking good. Unfortunately, I have never done any 3D modeling work so I don’t know the process very well. I enjoy sculpting and have done some work at a few toy studios doing that but I really need to get my hands dirty in the 3D computer world one of these days.

As for you Hogarth question: Hogarth’s method and the one I am doing in these pictures is a little different. If you check out the REPRINTED version of Hogarth’s “Dynamic Anatomy” you will see. The reprinted version includes may color photos of the original drawings where as the older versions are all printed in black and white. He did his drawing in front of the class and they only took him around an hour or so most of the time. My full color anatomy drawings took way too long to do in front of the class (between 4-6 hours usually.) Hogarth was also a hell of a lot better than I am. He is very stylised but I like that and think it is a perfectly valid way of working (it also happens to me the way I work.)

As for me doing a book: Maybe one day when I am better at drawing. Right now I think I would be doing a disservise since I am still just a student myself (not literally but in essence.)

Later,

Thanks 11th door.

If you’ve done real modelling you should try either Silo or ZBrush sometime :slight_smile:
Silo gives you all the traditional polygon modelling tools that one is supposed to know,
and ZBrush seems to be more modern with really impressive results.

ZB uses brushes and Silo seems to be growing that way too.
With ZB you get hair brushes as well, which could be a big bonus.
Also there’s the Rhino modeller if you specifically want to learn nurbs,
which some people say are outdated.

Those are the modellers I know of these days.
Then theres the full suites that include modellers as well (Maya?)

As for Hogarth I’ll really have to get it sometime (REPRINT) :slight_smile:
Well if you have a stylised anatomy that you’ve grown up drawing,
you should be really fast at it?
But if there was a detailed anatomy book with colour muscles all the way,
I know I’d want to get it.

All the best.

Hey Spin99,

Thanks for the modeling advice. ZBrush is the program that I have wanted to learn for some time now and since it has a Mac version (which is the system I have) it makes it easier for me. Plus it doesn’t cost as much as Maya. I may take the Gnomon class that they offer for ZBrush since Gnomon is only about an hour away from me.

As for Anatomy books that have a more realistic feel. I must have 20 anatomy books on my shelf. The absolute top book for me is by Gottfried Bammes and is called “Die Gestalt des Menschen.” The book is all in German but it doesn’t really matter because the names of the muscles are easy enough to find anywhere but Bammes drawings are second to none in terms of clarity and form. Second place goes to Clemente’s “Anatomy” text book for medical students. There are about 20 illustrations in that book that are of use in terms of muscles but WOW are they amazing. If you can pick up anything by Glen Vilppu (one of my teachers) that would also be great.

Unfortunately, there is no anatomy book that is the end all of books, you need a selection.

Later,

Kyle

Thanks for the book tips 11th door.
By the way…

You get a free Mac version of Silo with the Windows version.

And there’s brushes coming with the new version.
It might be a little steep in the beginning,
but poly modelling is just a really different media imho.

You can even get a t-shirt?
Aren’t you supposed to get a t-shirt when you finally find the treasure?
I don’t mind, I’ll just keep Silo all to myself :smiley:

Cheers.
