great tut , thx for sharing.

Hey, another thing....With this technique you will be never able to animate the character....toplogy...

[dipingo]

@Insideviewanimator That is simply not true. Box modeling is not a limiting method, just another approach to results. The results are determined by the artist not the method used.

oh thank you very much thats an awsome site :)

[kalzorath]

thanks for the tut helps alot :DD, do you have one for the face?

[dipingo]

@kalzorath this is part one of 3. The head I have is free to use and study from. If you have issues just let me know. You can find it over at the Blenducationtube youtube channel. The is a url there in the video. Youtube denied me from adding it to the comments here.

I don't get it....isn't creating a character out of a cube a bit noobie?

why dont you create it out of a plane...

But still quite well done...thumb up.

@Insideviewanimator Noobie... It is actually called Box modeling. A technique that where the artist works with form and volume, like clay. But use what works best for you. I am a traditional sculptor so it fits my mind set. Have you seen Zbrush?

very useful but did you know, if u press w and go to subdivide smooth it's just like a subsurf modifier only u see all the vertecies in edit mode?

[dipingo]

@biomind12 Useful tidbit. But, I seldom use either. I want control over how many faces are in my model. Using a subsurf modifier gives me more control than just using the W>sub smooth. But to each his own. Have you ever tried to model a sphere from a cube? No modifiers! Try it it is a great exercise.
