ok i need someone experienced to tell me what I should do for my human model’s teeth and tongue. should I make them separately and then add them on OR should I just create them along with the rest of my model?
If you want to do a high polly model its easier to get more detail if you make it seperate then add it later. In his head model tutorial part of it has something for teeth and tounge http://www.youtube.com/watch?playnext=1&feature=list_related&v=9hFtzZ3ioZc&list=PL581EEDEDA386890E
It depends on what type of character you’re trying to make. If you’re going for a more anime or kingdom hearts type of feel i suggest using a torus and create the teeth all connected, but if you’re going with a more realistic type of feel, model each individual tooth. The tongue should be extruded from the inside of the front of the esophagus and then wrapped around the bottom of the mouth going just to the gums.
I am starting to get the hang of modeling, what I eventually want to do is model my character.
How do I transition from basic modeling into organic modeling? Where do I begin to start?
I would say start by learning the main topology of organic models.
Here is a mid-poly model of the face with all the basic edgeloops. You want to shoot for getting those main loops in.
