[skaterwouter1]

[0gotai]

thats exactly what i was looking for. An example of correct handy modelling technique with "understanding" edge loops. Youre right about the fact that its difficult to find any material about it on the net. Roosendall bless you for this! ;D

you helped allot tnx again :)

[shukfahid]

i love it! great tacktic for getting her done!!!

[curasek]

how you made the few edges in one axis...

[simcult]

Hey man this is a really cool vid, easily the best one i've found on youtube for modeling a head. I have a question if you don't mind - why do you start with a plane, subdivide it, mirror it and delete half? Is that something that aids you in creating the edge loops and ensuring that they are clean for rigging?

I am having a few troubles with rigging my head model because of strange vertex edge problems and I end up spending too much time fixing stuff. Thanks

[MFruitProductionsLTD]

Very, very nice. I'd love to try out this technique, myself, as well. Thank you very much for demonstrating this for us.

[savestheday88]

Brilliant technique! Thank you so much!

[DarrinLile]

Thanks! It sounds like you need to select the four verts around the hole and press F to created a polygon.

[tigerblues213]

Great tutorials! Thank you so much? However when I go to the subserf mod. it leaves some holes in the mask I created... Have tried recalculate norms and no luck. Any ideas?

[OtterPubes]

Can't "like" this enough!! Super cool method. Thanks much for sharing!!  5/5

[BrKnp]

[Johneysteel]

[Blender3dvids]

[Blender3dvids]

[DarrinLile]

@Blender3dvids Select two verts and press Alt + M

[Blender3dvids]

@DarrinLile thanks, really helped.

[ANDBAZ93]

YOU ARE A BOSS, NONO THE BOSS! YEAH! ;)

[Ralpimp09]

where can we find these reference images?

[DarrinLile]

@Ralpimp09 Well, these images are a character of mine for a project I'm working on. But you can Google "mug shot" and find front and side views of all kinds interesting people.

[norvman]

Well done....

I've read much of Tim Albee's stuff...

I use to use LW

[Ralpimp09]

Wow this is really well done, I like this process. Super Fast. I have a question, did you use set smooth or subsurf or anything like that? I will be doing this tutorial in Maya and will need that info. Thanks again.

[DarrinLile]

@Ralpimp09 Thanks! Yes, I used both set smooth and subsurf

[Ralpimp09]

@DarrinLile could this process be used without subsurf? i am not sure how to do that in Maya

[DarrinLile]

@Ralpimp09 Sure, in fact it may even be easier without subsurf.

[Ralpimp09]

Wow this is really well done, I like this process. Super Fast

[Ralpimp09]

Wow this is really well done, I like this process.

[StudioVoxel]

Great Tutorial! Thanks

[stormerus]

Link for reference pictures please. Good tut.

[Jeff2207xx]

Really helpful, thanks!

[duncan636]

I love edge looping, its sooo much more more simpliar than building the head out of a cube and useing kinfe cuts everywhere.

[cganim8or]

Wow, that's a great way of modeling the face! I'll be sure to try that. Can you do the same thing for the ears? If you can, could you make a video on it? 5 stars! :)

[multiverses2009]

@cganim8or I think the answer is no. Search for Martin Krol on how to do ears.

[TaunWe519]

Just one question how do you join vertices? Please respond I am a noob at blender

[DarrinLile]

Select two verts and press Alt + M
