YMCA - Character Modelling

Character Modelling!

Fortunatly I managed to find a very helpful tutorial on character modelling that has set me off in the right direction. Unfortunatly it only covers the early stages of the modelling process so I will have to use what I have learned to create the rest. A true test of knowledge retention. It didnt take long before I had the torso of a man infront of me all be it very low poly it was looking pretty good. It was created out of a box, symmetry modified and the reshaped and extruded where appropriate. I hope to create the head in a similar fashion with help of another tutorial.


As a group we are still deciding whether to use our own heads created in the first six weeks of this module. I am leaning toward creating our own but this obviously creates alot more work which some of the group seem against. My main concern is that the heads the we created are an attempt at photo-realism and I think this will look out of place in the style of advert we are making. I sense a storm on the horizon.
