It's not finished but please give opinions. :banana: Post by Steinie // Jan 3, 2008, 2:02am Steinie Total Posts: 3667 First thanks for posting your work Ronin28. Nice to see newer forum users post. In all these years using TS I never modeled a human head (realistically.) Your tackling a hard object so a pat on your back for that. I would address the top of his head it seems too large or out of proportion. There are many others here who can help you and give other suggestions. Some even wrote tutorials... Keep submitting your work! Post by jayr // Jan 3, 2008, 2:45am jayr Total Posts: 1074 Thats a good start, better than my first attempt. Modelling a realistic human head is one of the hardest things to do in 3D because we're always looking at faces and know how they should look. The forehead on your one is a bit too high and the from the side the head should be deeper than it is wide. Don't worry you'll get there, look at some reference pic's or get someone to take 'mug shots' of you (or you take some of them) and use those as a reference for a model. Check Oliver Rohe's tutorial on this site: http://www.spacekdet.com/tutorials/ It's about half way down the list Or The tutorials on Scattered Pixel: http://www.scatteredpixel.com/files/Page1.html They're very detailed and very cheap.

The trick is to tweek as you go so you're not having to make loads of moves witha dense mesh, or you could use the soft selection tools.

You'll get more people looking at your work in the WIP. Post by Dragneye // Jan 4, 2008, 7:34pm Dragneye Total Posts: 602 Good luck with this project Ronin! A suggestion/guess is that the ear holes seem further back than they should be. Also, since you are tackling this tough subject and it'll take a bunch of work, why not get reference pics of you like mentioned and that way kill 2 birds with one effort? You'll have a head, and you will be immortilaized in 3d. :D You're gonna do the work anyway, and you'll have a visual guide of what shapes of the parts to go with.
