2D to 3D Face modeling using Cinema4D

This is a timelapse video of about an hours work turning an image from an Amiga game called Valhalla into a semi 3d facial mesh with the original image projected onto it. Please understand im a novice, so this is a little learning curve for me.

Next time make the video slower then that or talk -_-

[theamigaone]

@sairoblackwater Im currently making a set of videos which i will annotate using a female celebrity and turning into 3d using this technique, yes more slowly :)

[TheDemonX2]

How it would be if you talk or do it slow? wtf tutorial is that....

[theamigaone]

@TheDemonX2 as mentioned already, this video is not stated to be a tutorial, thou I will be releasing some tuts soon on a new face.

ew, lots a nasty triangles. i like models nice and quad

[theamigaone]

@iEatPorkchop yep exactly what I would of said, suppose it just looks more tidy if all quads.

[paulabruann]

Thx so much nice and hard work. Congratulation.

[72dew]

@iEatPorkchop i know, but you dont get nasty smoothing artifacts if you try to smooth quads. furthermore, tris tend to give you weird deformations during rigging and skinning making it un-animation-friendly

[iEatPorkchop]

@72dew In 3D rendering, everything is either a triangle, or a collection of triangles. Quads are just made up of two triangles.

@Miniyo12345 Throw it into a Lathe Nurbs :) Remember the splitting point that the half thing ends on is the Y coordinate thing.

I don t know how you turn half a thing into a simetric thing
