male face WIP

Hello,

this is my 4th attempt at modelling a human head (the first 3 were so bad I threw them out :smiley: )

I have quite some work still ahead of me, but I was already quite pleased with the result (no ears yet though).

update ( 30/08 )
I started UV texturing my face with the image on which it was based. I think the result looks great so far (though it needs some more work and there are some texcoordinate bugs). I first was gonna paint/draw the texture myself, but soon realised I’d never get it this good %|
maybe next time :wink:

front and side look fine, but there stills seems to be something wrong in a 3/4 view

when you try to model aso the correct flow of muscels than you will be able to animate the face a lot better later.
but as a starter the face looks pretty good already.

Do you know of a place where this information could be found? The flow of the muscles? I know of a few but I was wondering if their are certain sources that you would suggest.

not bad at all !!

i fear, this is becoming one of the most realistic heads done in blender ever :slight_smile:

:o :o :o , Great texturing, the head looks sooo real, can’t even see that it’s blender, Did you take a picture of someone, and then textured that photo on that blender head? Really awesome work, the best ever I think. Great, keep blending, I really wanna see that person with a body, I think then it should be the best human ever made in blender :stuck_out_tongue: Great. :stuck_out_tongue:

your head looks like an image from http://www.3d.sk/heads.htm
in one of the above forums is a head model by a high end artist based on the same image, with a lot of info on texturing think it’s in the texturing human face thread in cgtalk… bloody long thread but I think you’ll enjoy it,
looking good.

Wow – Thats fantastic, looks like a friend I used to know…

Keep it up, I wanna see this progress, and its nice to see a non caucasian model for once :stuck_out_tongue:

thats cool, it reminds me of Kane (WWE). lol

thx for all the great reaction
put up a new shot :smiley:
pretty much finished the texture, though there are some bugs in it on the side
