modeling a body

does anyone know how to model a body? I’ve got the head and know a great tutorial for modeling a hand but none for a body. I’m looking for a realistic tutorial also.

This one’s very good:

It’s actually for 3DSMax, so the artist occasionally uses 5 sided polygons. Mostly these are just temporary, and they eventually get changed to quads, so you can just leave them un-filled in. In some cases you have to come up with some workarounds.

it’s a boy btw

There is a pretty good tutorial at:
http://perso.orange.fr/samuel.flahaut/www.trimaatrik.org/tutorials/body/body_tutorial.htm

I haven’t actually gone through it yet, but it seems like it might be slightly hard to follow because it doesn’t give every step.

Probably worth a try though.

THANK YOU! This is the ONLY tutorial I have seen that covers making a complete human other than the Joan of arc tut, and she’s more stylized than realistic.

PS That tutorial shows some very good techniques… Interesting.

thanks for the tut. but I wanted it a little less realistic. Thanks for it though.

I started working on this tutorial (for Silo), but you may find it useful in the Blender world:

thank you. If you turn that guy green he’d look like the hulk
