New Head Model // Work in Progress 1  |   Order by default Post by jayr // Apr 12, 2008, 6:31am jayr Total Posts: 1074 It seem i start these a lot and never finish them properly. What i'm looking to do is make a good basic mesh that can then be detailed into different characters. Really, it sould be as low poly as possible at this point so there isn't as much point moving to be done. Here is where i'm up to: http://www.lothissen.co.uk/Head001.jpg What do you think, should i add more detail now? I know the eyes need more loops to get a more defined shape and the mouth needs more points to shape it properly but do i add them now or after i start to shape it into different characters?

You will find less collapsing of the mesh in those areas when you SDS. You've got a good start, but the mesh still needs some tweaking before you start detailing more. One thing that will really help is to put a sphere in for the eye so that you can get the eyelid shapes right. Two other things that jump out at me are the nostril holes are too small and there's something funky going on in the area between the lip and the nose.

It does need more tweeking, the nose i think is still a bit undefined and i haven't shaped the neck at all really, the eyes and mouth are a long way from finished but i don't want the mesh to be too complex before i save it as 'Basic_Head001' or whatever. I think i will have to do the eyes and mouth just so i know at least the points are there to make the right shapes. Is there anything else you noticed jack? or anyone else?

It may need ears also, other than that good clean topo'.

Thanks for the advice Justin and Jack, i'll put it into practice on the finished thing Post by jamesmc // Apr 15, 2008, 11:58am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 There's minimal topology on the forehead, might be a problem later.
