Female Body basemesh

falcoknight

Hey all,

First post here. I wanted to get some feedbackery on this girl before I bring her into Zbrush and do all the fun stuff. Something about her seems a bit off and I am not sure what it is... I built it from scratch and have been tweaking it for a while now, not entirely happy with it. I almost feel like the head is too small, but if I scale it even a little bit it looks too large (funny, huh?). Shes supposed to have an amazonian-ish build.

Anywho, if any of you fine polygons want to give me some C&C it would be much appreciated.

(p.s. I was trying to make chains for a game character on another model, and I have been unable to figure out the best way of going about it. I see a lot of guys using 2 polygonal strips intersecting each other, is this a good way of going about it?)

you got some topology wonkyness going on, but the way you're showing off the model makes it hard to tell how her anatomy is fairing. [at least, for me anyway]

Is this a better angle?

Also, what sort of topology wonkyness are you talking about?

It looks like the hair was cut out of a sphere (on top front) and something quirky about the navel. You want a stub mesh that has as many even quads as possible when using ZBrush, else you'll get some artifacts/pinching. Check proportions of the arms (shoulder--elbow--forearm--wrist--hand). Eyeballing it, it seems that she is just over seven heads in height.

Sorry, should have mentioned, the hat on the top is the beginnings of a helmet, its not part of the hair.

@Barbarian: I was trying to figure out what to do with the naval, I opted to the extrusion topology, although I may as well not even have topological detail there if I am using a normal map... I guess? I'll have to work on it. About the proportions on the arm, I will do some research and look at it again.

Thanks
