i think it is possible to do it but you have also to "guess" some aspects of your face.

Oops. I think I missed that last post. There is absolutely no reason you can't build your own face using photos.

[monsterz3r0]

poolshark is correct, by hitting ctrl while using the pull tool you will add sections.

For further information on how I build characters in SU check out the link in the video info. I wrote a post about my methods.

I couldn't tell how you made the circles on the legs of the character. What tool did you use? I know you scaled them, but how did you create the circles on the pants?

[monsterz3r0]

I drew one circle with the circle tool, sized it close to what it needed to be, then used the pull too (extrude) it. I'm creating the sections with an eye towards the details I know I'm going to need to fill in later.

@rodisnothere Yes, select the objects, create component, copy the component and flip the copy along the relevant axis

[rodisnothere]

can you make mirror effect just like in blender?

Outstanding work Monsterz - I use Sketchup in many of my classes, and your tutorials and website have given me a whole new area of exploration. I am currently creating my own 'tank girl'.

@iurak6868 maybe he doesn't have that money. blender is better anyways because it's free, and is as almost as good as those softwares.
