Simple Mask model ?

ScottBurgoyne

Hello! I'm a complete beginner when it comes to modelling, so looking for a bit of help. I'm trying to reproduce the black mask in the attached image but don't know the best way to do so. Any ideas ?

This is the same shape and topology as the face area there so you could just extract it from the face and add some thickness?

Hey Obscura, thanks for replying. How would I extract the mask shape from the topology of the face? 

Obscura

Select the polygons that roughly covers the shape. press detach, check detach as clone. now you got a new object with that shape. Adjust the vertices to your taste and then apply shell modifier. Sorry, I was assuming you have the facial features in the topology of the face but its not the case so you need to move some verts.

Thanks for your help, I'm not familiar with modelling in Maya so can't quite it to look like the mask in the photo
