Thanks Hula! I think it still could have been cleaner, but considering it's my first attempt in a very long while to lay out a "proper" head mesh, I'm happy with it.

Yeah, some angles and intersections look a bit odd at places, but other than that I think it came out great

angelababy · 18-08-2010, 05:48 AM

Good stuff, great too see how other do it.This is a really cool idea!

Is the Eva Wild modeling training dvd a good tutorial for modeling from refernce and has good topology etc?

Cheers

Yes, it has everything and then some. It uses ref images from front and side views and shows how to model, everything. But, there is nudity.

lol, thanks Big Toe. Ive got some cool reference of very angry looking guy so going to model him in a robot suit! I want to do a good job of my first detailed character. Hopefully if its neat enough I want to animate different emotions on his face

Good luck man!

is the mesh density a bit high?

BiG ToE-3DT · 21-08-2010, 02:05 AM

I'll say this, it's not game art.

Hi guys & gals, I've been adding topology examples and links here.
http://wiki.polycount.com/CategoryTopology

I'm always on the lookout for more outstanding examples, please post if you have some!

still have to texture this . needs some final rounding up of the muscles at certain spots which i have highlighted ..

Tarik2d · 03-11-2010, 10:36 AM

Hi, I am just about to start modeling a humans head which I want to animate for a close up shot so it all needs to look very realistic (as much as I can make it anyway). I was wondering, with the topology is there a certain way I need to do it if I want to make it posible to have him have a happy face, angry face, sad face etc etc so it all works with the displacement maps and so forth.

Cheers

I'm no pro, but as far as I gather just make sure it can bend along the edges... So you don't have a joint in the middle of a face or an edge
