Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Good job so far. nice loops. One smalll crit from would be to just pull the verts up at the middle of the nose as the polys are a bit stretched there, and it could give you probs when doing the uv mapping

good job though
cheers

I like the texture a lot, nice variety to the colouring on the skin, not flat at all. Only thing I can see to crit is, the eyebrow looks like it's raised off of the skin - though from what you say it sounds like it's only a temp eyebrow.

Doing some texturing myself at the moment and finding it a little tricky, could you post shot of your texture, give a brief description of layers and your process etc? Would be great.

cheers,

gubar

Hi thanx for your comment, and yes it's a temporary eyebrow..
My proces from UVW mapping was first paint the main features with 3D paint (lips, cheeks, eyesocket), and then opening the psd in photoshop, and played around with some grunge brushes.. The texture looks pretty ugly, but I mapped it on the diffuse color and the epidermal-color where the contrast became less..
I also cheated a bit, because i added some contrast in photoshop..
And still got a lot of painting to do...

the colormap:

I really like it so far. and everytime I see the title to this thread the song "In The Pine's" by LedBelly gets stuck in my head (also known as "Where did you sleep lastnight" on Nirvana's unplugged)
But anyway, keep up the good work.
