[Hex 2.2] 2nd Head Attempt - Polyloop

RecoilUK · 20th October 2007, 13:16

Hi guys.

Just thought I would post here to get your suggestions etc on the head I have been modelling and the topology for it.

What u think?.

Sorry if you didn't have any answer yet (perhaps the week end!)

For a second attemp for a head, it's a good jub, but as you can imagine, you can improve some stuff:
-you did a lot of loops around the mouth which is good, but perhaps too much, the last one is in the middle of the face and generate a big star.
-The topology around the mouth is weird, you may improve it
-Perhaps the lips are missing of definition?
-No ears!

)

But at the end, it depends if you want to create a just a still image or doing an animation with this face. What is your main idea behind this head?

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Well, i,m not really sure what its for at the moment, i,m just starting out in 3D Modelling, well I,ve been starting for about 12 months but never really get the time to work at it, I guess this ones for a static render but it would probably be good to start my topology for animation as it is something I definately want to try.

The loops around the mouth were primarily created to give definition to the nose, but I do indeed see your point and can remove the last one (star) easily, so I will do that and try to move from circular loops to a more horizontal arangement to match the side of the head where the ears will be, and speaking of the ears as you pointed out, I was tired and it was quicker to draw a helmet (post 3) than ears

.

As for the definition around the lips, your right, but I was thinking that as long as I got the basic shape correct, then I could add definition once the subdivision goes up, isnt that the way to do it?

How is the topology around the mouth weird? could you be more specific? is it wrong? bad for animation?

Oh yeah, he,s going to be a soldier.

Thanks again for the reply.
