Female Head Progress




I have made some more progress on the head model for my female. I added her eyelids, nose, mouth, and I have begun to work on the ear. I found that the ear is the most challenging part of this model, although using the techniques and tools I know I will be able to finish it.

Female Foot






  Here is a foot that I modeled for the 3D female we are creating. I found this part of the model to be the most challenging. The toes are very hard to space out and get to look realistic. I need to do further studies in anatomy and come back and fix this project up.

  First I found reference images of female arms. I did not include all of the reference images on the model sheet, but I did use them as a point of reference when needed. Then I modeled and added arms to the female model that I created in the previous assignment. Next I will model the feet of the character, and attach both the feet & the previously created hands.

Here is a model that I created in Maya 2012. Using life drawing reference images that I corrected in Photoshop, I was able to build this organic model. I learned a lot about organic modeling while working on this project. Also, I now further understand why it is so important to keep your topology clean.

  Here is the human hand that I modeled for our most recent modeling project. I think that the project came out better than I initially thought. I will use this project to push myself into further projects using organic modeling. I want to be able to finish an entire set of characters using Maya and Zbrush before I graduate.
