Extruding Splines

In this tutorial Eric showed us how to connect the whole network of quads together using splines. In the background of the image below you can see the reference plates used to dictate the positions of the splines and how important the 1st stages of the planning are in this case.




When extruding the splines you rely completely on the accuracy of the doctered images as its is near impossible to create the same effect throught judgement no matter what angle looking from. Mike explained to us that we should go about extruding the mesh that we made in a very structured fashion. It is important that a column at a time is extruded as not to confuse things. in the image below you can see my half extruded face.
