Head topology

16bit

Submitted for your approval, this head model.

I wanted to make a base mesh that I could take into zbrush and quickly make new heads. My main concern is the eye topology, I wanted to avoid absolute loops for the corner of the eye.

I tried to follow the advice of this article as much as I could on the eye.

As well as the polycount wiki on topology



So my question, is this good face topology and could you share share your eye topology as well.

The edge flow looks great to me! The eye section looks fine as well. But before you take it into zbrush here's a few things to consider.

1. I would suggest adjusting the distribution of your loops to get everything a little more evenly spaced if your goal is to use this as a base mesh for sculpting in Zbrush.

2. Close all open gaps! It can be a pain to deal with open edges inside of zbrush. Be sure to have 1 sealed mesh unless you know for certain you will never sculpt on that area. Even then it can be a pain if you want to just move the points on edge so be careful.

3. Avoiding absolute loops is more important I think for the final model topology. You're probably going to want to sculpt that detail in so either way it will work just fine.

It's not so much I want to sculpt on it as I wanted a mesh so that I could move points around very quickly and make a new head. Perhaps I should try to space them more evenly.

And thanks for the tip about open edges.

I just noticed I left a vert unwelded on the ear...
