Simple Head Tutorial

Hi Everyone

This tutorial was originally posted in response to ooooy54's request for a bit of help with creating faces
Heads and faces are pretty tricky. But if you want something less realistic and more cartoony then the attached tutorial might help. It is based around creating a 3x3x3 box and using the spherify modifier, inspired by roberts character: http://www.cheetah3d.de/forum/showth...ight=animation.

This technique may not be the most professional way to create a head but it is the method i used to create this little character. He is still very much WIP first draft to get client approval on direction etc etc.

Hope the tutorial makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions
I have also attached the .JAS file with copies of the model at various stages if that helps!!

have fun
dave

ps. If you are looking for a more realistic head then this tutorial from the Computer Arts website might be of some use:
