Making space for mouth bag

Iki789 · May 2014

Hi all,

I have just created a dog and I need to add a tongue and teeth. But how do I make space for it. Please look at the image. Its a closed mouth, want to open it a little and add teeth and tongue

Thanks,
Iki

You most likely gonna lose those ppaint and some sculpting details, so definitely duplicate first.
Mask off the whole dog, except his lower jaws, then rotate it down to open his mouth. You will probably need to dynamesh/zremesher to re-distribute his poly. Then pulls his inner mouth back to make his throat or something.
It helps to have his head in different polygroups so it's easier to navigate around.

Hope that works.

Personally I would retopologise the head and model a mouth bag where the lips intersect, then bring it back into ZB and project all, that way you're not destroying the sculpt. The mouth would look open but you could close it easily with topological masking.

Thanks!!! I tried making the mouth bag in both ways, and both were accurate.

Thanks again. Just learned something new
