Head modeling tutorial - revised

Well, this is long, way long overdue. There were problems with this tutorial from the beginning, and it was written 18 months ago :o Some things have changed in the Blender, among other things the way loopcut works with hidden vertices. I’ve also lost the account information for the webhost I used %| And since blenderman.org is gone indefinitely, there was only the old version available, with my old e-mail adress. But I wanted a new host anyway, to get rid of that ugly banner.
Sorry for not optimizing picturesizes (sorry 56k’ers). Will fix that soon.

Like the subjectline says, it’s only a revised tutorial. Text is pretty much the same, with a few corrections and clarifications here and there. Pictures are new too, added two sections, but the subject is the same. One difference is that I plan to add more parts to the tutorial (facial detail coming next).

Edit: Updated link - New host.

Hope you like. Bear in mind, it’s not completely finished, which should be obvious. Please come with comments, so I can improve it even further. Especially newbies are welcome to comment, since this is mainly for them.

Always liked this head tute when you first put it up. Very much like Wiro’s tute, (not sure if you know it), for box modelling a head.

Great asset to the community Bellorum. Thanks for sharing and keeping this current.

Thanks for that refresher course. Excellent technique. Really very good. Saved to CD.

Method reminds me of a Wings tutorial that was out there somewhere. Yah, can hardly wait for half edges in blender too.

looks like a good tut!

Can’t say I have. I’d say my tutorial probably reminds of quite a few box modeling tutorials out there. Not much new to add, really :slight_smile: But this is of course more focused on Blender workflow.

Thanks. There are few ways for me to be able to give back to the Blender community, and since I can’t code, and my wallet is empty, this is it :wink:

You’re very welcome. Glad you liked it.

You and me both :stuck_out_tongue: Some stuff just goes way faster with n-gons.

@Modron

Glad you think so. You’ve put out some pretty good tutorials yourself.

Sidenote: Gah! Already discovered some small blemishes that needs fixing before I finish it up :stuck_out_tongue:

Heh. Just noticed that the old version is featured in the tutorial section at blender3d.org. So that’s why I got so many mails about it :slight_smile: I guess I’ll have to notify the section maintainer about the new version.

thanks for the tut. I have seen this b4 and was lost. i think i may have emailed about the blend file :slight_smile: also, when u gonna finish parts 2,3,4 etc

Hopefully you’ll be less lost now :slight_smile: But, I will put a .blend-file up for downloading for every part of the tutorial, so you can just jump in where you want.
I honestly don’t know when I’ll make the rest of the tutorials, but I’m currently very unemployed so I can’t blame anything on lack of time anymore :smiley: making these tutorials does take some time and effort though. Maybe I’ll have something up already later this week. But no promises.

Edit: Put up the .blend-file for downloading. Scroll down to the last section.

Thanks for the tutorial.
I’m looking forward to more.

Now that your not working
you could take advantage of this time
to really work on this tutorial and
whatever else you have going.

EXCEEDED BANDWIDTH :frowning:

You’re kidding me! It’s only been up a couple of hours. Aw, too good to be true, of course. Will look for another solution. Crap!
