does someone have the webspace/bandwith for 2 Subdiv Modelling videos? i got the webspace, but not the traffic, and i know what happens when showing such things on cgtalk :smiley:

ivo D:

Thanks, man.

You know, I’m fairly sure that models such as that can be found.

Let me steer you to 2 things:

First, check out a thread in the modeling forum here:

It actually goes into the concept of topology of the head, with the intent of creating a “base” head that can be massaged into many, many different characters. It’s possibly one of the most important aspects to head creation, and is often the most overlooked. I can’t recommend the thread enough.

Another one that you should check out is this:

http://coldfusion.art.msstate.edu/camenisch/thehumanhead/

That’s pretty much the definitive site for head creation/topology reference on the net.

As for free models, as mentioned above, CGTalk in conjuntion with I think 3dfestival, or cgnetworks, has released a bunch of professional quality models for free download.

Have a look, and also try to do some of wiro’s tutorials.

Best of luck!

hey,

i haven’t been here in awhile and i shortly skimmed this thread

is this thread about the tricks and how much good stuff you can make just by editing the subdivisions such as vertices and polygons?

if so, then this thread rocks.

#512

Yup.

That’s what it’s about.

Don’t worry, a FAQ/Manual/Textbook is being written, and the whole of the thread will be properly documented and released in PDF, Html, and Doc formats as soon as it’s done…(soon). This document will include everything discussed, but will be repackaged with new images, re-written text, and more techniques. It will be a great improvement to the thread…And it will get updated as long as this sucker is still going.

I’m really glad you’ve enjoyed the thread, and found it usefull.

If you have anything to add, or questions to ask, please feel free.

The thread is kinda coming in waves, one week it’s hot, next it slows down. Keep an eye on it to make sure you don’t miss out on a cool tip, trick, or discussion.

Hope to see ya here again soon

#513

wow, you are the man 3DZ

also, your pictures in this thread rock

#514

Woha, that’s great 3DZealot! I’m sure all of us can learn something from this thread.
A document compiled with all the info in this thread, would be unvaluable to the community!
Thanks again. :buttrock:

#515

Work faster :wink:

#516

is this textbook going to be avalible through your website?..will it be avalible for free or a small cost for materials?

#517

Thank you so much for the encouraging words, guys. It’s stuff like that that makes me feel as though this is worth all the time and effort.

Holo:

It’s going to be totally, and completly free. The only thing I want in return is feedback on how it could be better, and for people to contact me if they either see an error, or have something to add.

Guys, thanks for waiting so patiently, and I hope to deliver all this shortly.

My website is being overhauled, both visually, and in regards to content. When the document is completed, my site will go “live” and it will all be available.

So, until then, keep pushing those verts!
