All done well exept for the ears......(who needs ears anyway?)

I am very happy with the result! I have learnt a great deal from doing this.
I added two omni lights to the scene for this render to make a nicer and more natural looking atmosphere.

Just a quick one!

I don't know if anyone is having trouble with mapping the face on to the whole head? I found that the face was stretching over the whole thing and it looked terrible. So I made this map so that the skin tone around the face covers the other areas of the head.




Victory!!


I have started to model the HMS Victory. Above are some images that I have gathered for reference. I am mainly looking to get a basic idea of the main lines along the side of the ship and the shape of the front and back. this will enable me to begin by making a simple model that can be easily modified for more detail.


This is the basic model that I have come up with. I used the same reference technique as for the face. I found it really simple to do it in this way. I am very happy with the model as a starting point and will keep you posted as it progresses!










Sorry guys i promise this is last one of these I'm going to do! ;)

I nominate this image for the scariest face in the module award!!
I was mainly playing with lights here to get a nice effect on the face
Again I just used soft selection to achieve the expression (sorry Ali!)

Hey guys It occurred to me today that I haven't got any work up here that i did with the bones.
HERE IT IS!!!!

Just played around with the noise modifier and some environment maps too

As you can see I have stated to play around with moving the face to make expressions. I did this using soft selection
