wireframe-suggestions?

PelleK

Hey People!

I'm a student at The Animation Workshop in Denmark. This is part of an assignment we had designing and modelling a character in 3D. I like this concept, but so far the 3dmodel looks like a sightly disturbing manbaby. Hopefully we'll fix that with some sweet googles and what not.

I'd really like to get my head around how to make a slick topologyflow so please let me know if you see anything that hurt your eyes. And feel free to direct me to any usefull tutorials if you're sitting on such sweet information.

It's a really sweet forum this, I'm happy to ba a part of it.

Hi PelleK,

I am still learning topology and am not yet confident critiquing the edge-flow of your model but below are some links that have helped me to understand topology. It looks to me that your model could use a bit more volume in her hips and rear end to match the concept a bit more. As for her face looking manbabyish I would suggest comparing her face to that of an overweight female and examine the proportions of the face. The thing I noticed most was that the eyes are set farther apart then they should be. Typically if you drop a line straight down from the corner of the eye it will run right into the edge of the nose. This link illustrates it pretty well: http://howtodrawportraits.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Face_Proportion.jpg

On a different note if you host your images on your own site or a site like imgur you can post the images directly in your posts. Some people avoid posts with attachments and having to click each individual picture. Keep up the good work!

Thanks teggs! I appriciate you taking your time. I definitly see what you mean with the hips and the face, I'll play around with it. And thanks for telling me about that attachmentissue! I was wondering how to get the pictures to show up properly.

We used an Andrew Klein tutorial for the face modelling this in class, I didn't realize he'd done so many! They seem to be really great, I'll definitly check them out.

Thanks! I'll post some updates in time.
