building a 3d head, part two

[mathewperryfan]

is it possible import this to a game?

[bob13513]

@mathewperryfan thats what this entire program is for >.>

[wildboy789789]

its amazing how many different ways people model

[msirajmalik]

lkl

[irvintiu]

how do i make the other half of the face?

[domzzy123]

@irvintiu U probably heard for Ctrl+C or as known ''Copy''...

[champton321]

@irvintiu Use a Symmetry modifier.

[TheRetroZombie]

@irvintiu basically mirror it then if you want, join solids, select the middle points and "Merge Points".

I am very new to Maya (like 3 days ago) and am trying to figure out how to do what you are doing. where you are adding flat planes to build a shape. All i seem to ever be able to do is extrude 3d forms rather then the 2d planes. I don't even know what this technique is called so i can't look it up. could you give me a hint?

[montavio1]

due great job but how do i get the pic? wheneveer i ty to import a pic,anim8or says it cant find file.

[bumbumeris]

sooo boring, and music is anoying

[xrobloxray223x]

poor women

[ffKingcreole]

i like that tool, where you just drag across those vertecies and get them filled automaticly and i guess those planes are a bit funny when moving around.

nice video but i guess that programm is not as good as blender 3d

[IndieMovies266]

Horrible edge flow- watch several videos on head edge flow or topology!

You are adding verts carelessly.

I do like your attempt. :p

[AlarsoTV]

how to put background on blender? I need help =/

[TheDeluxeKiller]

when you finish it make sure you mirror it so it won't take long

[iCanDoAnything24]

1)how do you zoom in

2)are you pressing any shortcut keys

3) is there another tutorial?

[azhad1998]

anim8or sucks !!!!

blender cool !!!!

[ollieflp]

Is this technique used in the industry?

[emwav333]

I'm sure it used to be and still is used, but they now have the technology to scan a persons face by attaching reflective points and capturing a 3D image with infa-red cameras. I'm pretty sure that is how they did it for "Avatar"

[ollieflp]

I guess it make sence since it would take much longer to build the face from scratch

[silkyskeeter]

@emwav333 No Avitar used the same methods they used to use and still use to this day (box modeling in 3D Studio Max or Maya for base mesh then they finished them off in Zbrush) No one uses 3D scan technology for big projects because it actually takes longer 3D scanning an object then reverse subdividing to create good edge flow and edge loops. Then turning around and retexturing. 3D scanning really is only good for concepting and turning a digital sculpture into a real sculpture and vise versa.

[abc123jesusl]

where did he get the face

[evanescfan]

wut program is this?

thx, nice work

[azhad1998]

anim8or

[eurosoul]

didn't learn even a step :( ,vid goes so fast

[mcasual]

well how bout that we have related videos :)

[i3dbox]

COOL

I AM A HEAD MODELER TOO!

HAHA

Hey guys,

come to my channel and look at the video.

my animations are amazing!

and i entered a HP competion

PLEASE HELP ME AND VOTE THUMBS UP FOR ME!!

[aegnt09]

WHOA!!! windows can handle 3d modeling!!!

mac4life

[alextheheck]

mac sucks man

[aegnt09]

YOu have nothing to back that up.

1. Mac runs windows and os x along side each other

2. macs are more secure, stable and no viruses

3. OS X has over 1000 features, windows has paint...

4. windows is so basic it can even open an image file

5. due to running windows apps windows, Mac is more compatible than PC

6. Macs DO game very well

why do macs suck?

[alextheheck]

theres no reason why a mac costs three times more than a normal pc,and if you wanna have a GB more RAM you need to pay a 400 Dollars,so tell me why i should spend that much money on a fucking mac

[aegnt09]

apple charges $50 per gb of ddr3 RAM

You basing your statements off false rumours.

THe mac mini's are old, they are getting an upgrade tomorrow. (better specs for cheeper) (maybe a new design)

$600 isnt expensive for a computer. sorry your so poor.

[alextheheck]

i hope you know that there are several reasons against a Mac:

Autodesk supports microsoft not apple ,I don't know exacttly why,but that's the reason why for example Ubisoft is using PCs-higher performance for a lower price.

and by the way your mouse has only one button XP

[aegnt09]

apple macs runs windows

[aegnt09]

Mighty mouse -

button 1 - left click

button 2 - right click

button 3 - squeeze (expose)

button 4 -centre click (dashboard)

Magic mouse

button 1 -primary click

button 2 -right click

button 3 -swipe

or any other mouse you plug into a mac

[BlueMixLive]

autodesk is releasing a bunch of stuff for mac now- and its better to just get a mac pro and dual boot into windows when neccesary.

[AjblueDesign]

don't you feel dumb, any mouses work in macs, also macs can run windows or any other os through virtualmachines and we can use any program ment for that os.

[alextheheck]

so you are really spending much more money on a mac?? there's no reason for that. My brother got his PC for 1000 euros.

it has a core i7 12GB of ram and 2x640GB HDD in it.

How much would a Mac Pro with the same Hardware cost?

[aegnt09]

For $400 apple would give you 8gb of ddr3 RAM.

[Pakawee]

I thought that until like a month ago. Its so much better in most ways, you just can't play games which sucks.

[miguelao1]

THIS IS CRAP PAY SOFT

use blender and blow your mind

[hellwain]

maya is way better than blender. maya is also mutch easyer, and who sais we pay haha.

[cyclonies]

Bravo

[televition56]

How do you get to the Menu Commands?And how do you add color?

[GazAnders69]

Using a real human head high rez image would be better for modeling as you get better reference as CGPHANT0M said. I would also recommend using Maya or 3D Max as they are the better software in my opinion, then you could use Zbrush to finish it off for more detail.

[DobaiSzilard]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!

your very good!

with what program did you do this???

[VintageAnarchist]

It's called Anim8or, and it's free :)

[and1f34]

ye? and can i do a 3D animations with it?

[VintageAnarchist]

Um idk, sorry... I downloaded it and played about, I think you can only do 3D models, not animate them, but I'm not sure. Hope that helps x

[CGPHANT0M]

I agree, the edge-flow is not very good, and the anatomy/proportions of the face are off.

Also, it would be better to use real human photos for reference. That way you KNOW your modeling a 'correct' human head. You don't need to worry if the artist who modeled your reference made mistakes.

[qqqsimmons]

yes, i was a complete amateur working with anim8or. i'd only been doing this for a month or two. i'm still not very good.

[TheDeluxeKiller]

@qqqsimmons anim8or is a little hard to master

[Matthewx777]

@qqqsimmons i thought the head looked good

[TheDeluxeKiller]

@CGPHANT0M Ohhh and don't forget he is not giving us full details, for example he is working ultimately fast

[probounderxxx]

Sonictag is right .... the edges u made is really terrible....there is no way you could make an animation or make expression with that ....

go buy an anatomy book and see how the face is build and all his muscle ;)

anyway I recommend you to cheak the tutorial of squirc :)

[robybirdy]

wow that is really good

[sonictag]

terrible edge flow, couldn't be used in animation at all. Model doesn't look bad at the end but its bad practice to model a face like this.

[rainmouse]

What would make good edge flow?

[Funkyfists1]

Good "edge flow" is basically where the edges run all the way from one side of the object to the other like in the sphere. It slightly improves the objects use in figures.

[ivanchoiii]

what is this software

[mike5424]

anim8or but if you dont wank to make animations i suggest using wings 3d they are both free

[FmMan33]

If you don't "wank"?... someone has other things in mind i see xD

[mike5424]

lol i mean whant

[Revanic45]

its spelled want.

[ivanchoiii]

anim8or is very good software to start with 3D but if you want to make good 3d models and animations download 3Ds Max 2008/2009 or Maya or Blender for free

[ivanchoiii]

and aaaa Very good model

[crazydayzz]

someone has experience....

[MoskowFreak1111]

5/5 can you save it as a file and send it to me?

[lokocrazy099]

HOLY SHIT YOUR GOOD!!!

[jessicaworks951]

where did u get the images?

[spikedwallman]

phantom of the opera anyone?

[TheTruthIsGonnaHurt]

I swear I am listening to silent hill . I heard this guy from somewhere.

[TheZombix]

Heads are always so ugly when you finnish them.

[qqqsimmons]

yeah, i had no plan when i laid my edges out. probably needs more vertices too...i put a newer vid out that's a bit better.

[chad5161]

she looked pretty hot..

[07raza]

hi, nince. but who can help me explaning the easy way to join peaces in maya

[motakay]

who is kell? the musician? is he famouse? tell me?! love the music..

[qqqsimmons]

kell's a friend who i used to be in a band with. i'll let tell him to make more music and get it on the web.

[deadlokIV]

...seriously the music is crazy amazing!

Great modelling btw. I use blender more though :]

[iluvmedirector]

i would like to know where do you get reference images from as well

[qqqsimmons]

exported from poser

[shaman2007]

let me guess...there is to faces one with front view texture second with side view... i was using one software for head modeling called Blender 3D, but i didn't think about 2 planes with texture i just used background image, 2 planes work better i see.

[Shoujoboy51]

lol nah keep using background image in blender it works fine, I used to use that technique in anim8or but it can get in the....one of the few reasons I like blender more than anim8or

[qqqsimmons]

yeah, it seems blender's got more going for it.

[DarkAlex184]

I made my very first model in Anim8or. It was just a simple apple lol

[hugemalakaa]

hey qqqsimons, its good that you know how to model, and as a 3D artist i love when people give me tips cuz in the ends its speed vs quality that counts. In your case what I'd like to say is work on your edge loops / geometry. The beauty in 3D is not only the render but the wireframe outcome as to when you when you present a demo reel etc. Probably the only remark i'd have for you :) good luck.

[jacobscamell]

i find it so hard to get a likeness in my models. i made micheal jackson he looked like Jesus or something

[RontheHybrid]

Amen to that! I doing my first ever model in blender. It's a human head of a character I drew. I have to say I do like blender better than anim8tor.

[WARDISWARD]

which program is this ...I don't know shit about spline modelling ..in 3 d max it's verry difficult ...It looks verry easy here ....

[qqqsimmons]

this is free anim8or software.  it's not too bad to learn though i haven't done any modelling forever...

[mcdraycon]

where do you get your reference images from?

[msndokralho]

good and helpful

[mcasual]

the noses are so complex :)

[hitman0023]

very good
