hi all, nice community template


This is a character I'm currently working at right now in my free time.

Since this is one of my favorite actress I'm trying to make it as reall as possible by using many angle pictures, so hope you will take a bit of your time to post any mistakes you'll find wrong in the progress.

good , alter the roundness from the top a little .

Bushidou

I can't say how gratefull I am for posting that mistake since I discovered that the side ref I used was not quite right fo this angle

here are the new changes

1. forehead more rounded
2. remade it the lips
3. changed the side view





please let me know if there are any other mistakes before deeping the face details in zbrush

Don't forget the asymmetry (not to be kept for the end). Seems like you have it on the nose a little already?

merlyn

Eyes look a bit big plus the jawline needs some revision. The distance between the eyes and the chin needs lengthening also. Hope this helps.

Johan Carlsson

Looking nice

Looking at that last profile shot, I think you need to either fix her upper lip, push it slightly outwards at the top of it, to get that nice curve she has between her upper lip and the base of her nose. Also, I think her jaw needs to be fixed a little. Smoothing out the back of it to remove that very anglular look to it, maybe move it a tiny bit forward. And the space between her chin and lower lip needs to go in just a little bit. Perhaps her ear could do with a little more volume and definition, see how clearly you can see the shapes in her ear?

I think this is going to turn out to be a pretty nice piece of work though Keep it going mate!

Joopson

someone has done this already, maybe look at his for some inspiration:

Thanks for all the help guys！

@ pior - yes the nose was not mirrored,

thanks, will make a note for that

@ Johan Carlsson - thanks man,

Perhaps her ear could do with a little more volume and definition, see how clearly you can see the shapes in her ear?

I'm going to define the ears more in zbrush


here are the changes, please let me know if its better
(symmetry)

I don't know this actress but based on the pictures it looks very accurate so far. Great start! Looking forward to seeing the end result.

buddikaman

Looks good, hard to tell though with it being bald.

peace

Bushidou

hi again guys,


Finally grabbed her show and took a few angle screencaps, and made just a few small changes to match all the angles possible, also removed the symmetry, hope is better:






I think it quite match every ref I find so if there aren't any hard changes? then I think is time to go stage 2 by getting out the face details


thanks,

stimpack

it looks solid and your right, it does match up with the reff images. I think its because ur lacking the hair and eyes that is throwing people off. Just toss in a quick block in for hair, that will help tons to recognize the individual.

fogmann

I think your method of matching model with reference will only take you as far as ensuring that all her facial features are in correct place, but not in defining the forms. For example, the chin you modeled seems too pointy, in the reference the chin appears wider and more flat on the bottom. Also between cheeks and corners of the mouth you have the slight bulges that I can't see in any of the reference images. The nostrils still look like their shape is wrong. The top of the upper lip curves in, creating the dark shading right above the lips, and in the reference I don't see that happening - there is some curving, but it doesn't happen right above the upper lip. I'd also say the eyelids could use some more thickness.

Since you are already intending to take this model to ZBrush, I'd recommend using the sculpting tools to really refine the forms and get the likeness down - it's easier and more intuitive than doing it in 3d app. I think at this point tracing your wireframe on top of photo is not going to brinig you any closer to getting the likeness down. Instead, you really need to carefully observe the shading and all of the emerging shapes in your reference to be able to replicate the forms correctly, and it would help if you have some reference with more contrast between light and shade to help you distinguish the planes of the face and define them on your model.

Good luck, and I look forward to see how it will turn out.

Bushidou

thanks guys, hair will come soon enough, need to finish the head first

here is zbrush day 1

Ged

I think the way the nose and lips join to the rest of the face needs to be more subtle and the cheeks perhaps a little fuller.

Heres the making of that other 3D render so you can compare your bald version with their one hehe.

hi again, texture and mesh update

thanks,

Bushidou

I see the host is back again, great!

here is latest progress

JasonLavoie

From looking at the ref and your model so far (looking good by the way) I think the one part that still needs work are the eyes.

The corners of her eyes are not up that far, bring them down a bit and shape them a bit more, maybe bring the tear duct area (the bottom lid) up a bit... give it some curvature.

Lips look really good, keep up the good work

Thegodzero

Nice progression!

id say #2 , the hair in that might be hard but it has the most style and glamor to it.

bounchfx

I'm going with #2 as well.. Biggest problem (not really a problem..) with the eyes is the lack of her little under eye line thing.. it's not prominent enough, at least going by the hairstyle pictures. on the model it's very sparse

Bushidou

thanks for the feedback guys

I decided to remake the eyes completely to not be any other problems

Bushidou

I remade it her eyes from scratch and changed a few things here and there:



looking forward if there is anything else to fix before moving on the hair

BrodyB

I say put a barcode on the back of her head and call it done.

I think you got the likeness down to the iota. I say go with No. 1 (from the choices before) and start the hair.

georgemancer

Not sure if you finished or not but this came out great.

Bushidou

thanks fellows,nope not done yet

Since so many people likes the number 2 style I decided to go with that..





still I need to give her a body and some decoration

Nostradamus

Wow this is really.. wow the likeness i n th lates pics is amazing... the earlier stuff was lacking a bit of feminine stuff, but this latest stuff is just mind blowing, really.

Bushidou

thanks,


people sugested to work a bit more on the eyes shape so I did




body and cloth is on the way, almost done with it

EarthQuake

Hair adds so much, this looks soooo much better

BrodyB

Totally f-ing awesome.

The one thing I see that stands out is the eyes in the references are wider whereas you made hers rounder. Just scale the eyes down on the upward axis a tad.

hobodactyl

This looks incredible; I agree with BrodyB about the eyes. Definitely gonna be watching this!

Kawe

O_O

wow. I agree with the eye comments above. not to just chime in cause that's lame. but cause it really caught my attention too. I had barely glanced at the images.

but yes.. this looks really amazing.

hmm.. also I think you made her face slightly rounder too. but I don't know about that though.. could be makeup (on the references) or lighting.

whats_true

The top reference looks like the eyes you used, but the other refs don't match up.

I think the eyes look fine. She may just be squinting in the other refs.

I agree. She has a slightly sharper jaw line in the reference, but it might just be the front on perspective that makes it look weird.

Farfarer

Coming along really well.

I agree that her cheeks are slightly thinner in the ref, especially towards the back where the jawbone meets. And maybe it's just be but the ridge of her nose might be a bit flatter down it's length in the references, too?

clee101

wow.. this is coming out real nice. How are you texturing it? The skin and lips look awesome. And how did you do the hair? If you can share some of your workflow it would be much appreciated.

Bushidou

Hi again guys and thank you, I decided to continue the Song Hye-kyo progress, hope you'll stay on it untill the end and maybe encourage me to finish it, if you want
here are some old progress pictures that was made a few months ago but I decided not to post them at that time
I'm going to remake a lot of changes since I learned a few new things

and here is the original picture, earing doesn't see at all but I will try to watch the dvd's and come with something very close



and the pictures with the body







crits are always welcome, thank you for watching


-

clee101 I'm not that good with explanation but I will make sure to prepare a tutorial regarding that

Kawe

I'm happy you continued on this Couldn't leave us hanging like that!

SHEPEIRO

ace

garriola83

this is all good and you know that but the version you have seems a lot younger than your refs; slightly thinner cheeks and slightly older eyes would make this extremely ace

pior

Woah this turned out great in the end! The first pictures were rather wonky I must admit!
Now I hope that all the work you put into will hold up well under different angle. Things like eyeball reflections, eyelashes or even the main shape of the face - it would be annoying if these do not hold up under different angles (what I'm saying is, it would be a shame if technical issues spoiled a beautifully crafted work)

Good luck with the rest!

almighty_gir

i'm very, VERY impressed...

can you give us any cool facial poses

Bushidou

hi again,

made the final changes and the smile



done smile





there are going to be two styles of hair cloth and expressions in the end

stimpack

thats some serious reff you have gathered there.

kio

your patience working on this is unbelieveable - it turns out great so far

Pedro Amorim

bluekangaroo
