Character Head Model 4

More progress on my model. I feel a lot more confident with the program and I look forward to more practice in the future.

Character Head Model 3

So I get to class and I realize after asking a question that I need to raise the levels more to texture hair. This whole time I have been attempting to get the details of the hair under low levels. Lesson learned.

Character Head Model 2: Adding the hair

Just a quick update on my character. I'm adding the hair. The hard part now is getting everything detailed.

Character Head Model 1

This is the beginning of my character's head model. I'm using Mudbox to shape the features of this character as best I can.


The head model is the beginning of a 3D model I'm building from concept. I did not design this concept. I am only modeling it.

To get some of the finer details of the character's face, I chose an actor who resembles the character enough to use as a reference. Say hello to Nick Cage.


More to come...

This is a head base model I worked in Maya showing the wire frame of the model head from different viewpoints.

Maya Project 1

This quarter I took an Introduction to 3D Modeling class which consisted of learning Maya. Maya's a very interesting modeling program and I truly have much to learn about it. I also learned taking this class that I need to pace my time a lot more, lol. I feel confident in modeling basic shapes but I do need a lot of work in texturing, especially since I want to learn Z Brush. Here's an image of the final project I did for this class.

Mudbox Modeling Practice 1

This is practice for a homework assignment I did for class. I am definitely learning a lot but I also realize I have so much to learn.
