Description
So this is a sample of my next project. People are welcome to use my loops as reference, if you so choose. Whatever.I love this girls face. I'd post other views, but I got this off the pay section of 3d.sk and I don't think they'd appreciate me giving them away for free.
Her eyes are awesome though. Can you believe that's her real eye color? Crazy.
Anyway - this is me being OCD and anal, and planning out my edgeloops before I even open my 3d app... cuz I'm crazy and weird like that.

For animation purposes, would include an eye mask (section that would contain both eyes) , laugh line (over top of the nose and slightly below chin (commonly the wrinkles seen when smiling)), and avoid losing loops around the lips (top of the lip should not have that divide in the maxilla), otherwise topology looks to follow how facial structure supports.

I just drew my first face loop with my concept art and I have no idea if i did it right lol. I going to take it in the 3ds max and hope for the best. thanks for you the lesson you did. (I dont think you posed it in here though)

Aww, girl-crush? I like her nose; it's not big.

lol - well, that's one way to use it. It's a stock image, so I hardly care if some site is using it in an article about DNA and face recognition.

Just letting you know that this girls reference images are all available for free on 3d.sk, not off the pay section. So if anyone is looking for the full set, just sign up for a free account and all her stuff is in here [link]

thats not really good typology...decent for modeling, but if you want it rigged, not so much.

It said in the description - it's from www.3d.sk
It's a pay site, but it's absolutely fantastic for human reference. Even animal and costume reference. They've got LOADS of things on there - really fantastic resource.

This is an awesome reference image, I was wondering if you had a side view of the same face? With or without the topolgy is fine

Nevermind, I didn't read the bit under the pic... Sorry :/

AHHH! I so need the other reference pictures! The topology on this helps out so much! And its probably a good thing that you map out your edge flow before modeling. I haven't noticed a tri or an n-gon yet. This is perfect for animation!

whoyaaa....the teacher is now the pupil...nothing like having a prick of an instructor who knows less than you do...i now how you feel...jump through the hoops, the united states teaching is so far behind the times for those of high understanding and intelligence...all i can say is godspeed and you will learn more on your own than in a class room...

If possible, would be amazing to get a side view as well. But this will be very helpful! Thank you very much! Been struggling with getting the line flow :/ But thanks!

LOL, I thought, that girl is like the perfect model, being all absolutely symmetrical! Then I look again and the face just has been mirrored, except for her hair.
The edgeloops look like they are where they're supposed to be (with all my expertise)

wow, that is anal! but great work, it looks really good. what program did you use to plan it out?
π: 0 β©: 1
Just Photoshop. Drew it with the pen tool. A point for every planned vert.

oh wow. I really like the way you work, planning it out like this. I still need to work on understanding loops and what-not.
Thanks for all these examples!

Very nice topology.
Are those pics off 3d.sk expensive? Seems like a great resource for textures

It is SO worth every penny. I LOVE that site.
It's only really worth it if you at least get the 3 month recurring membership (it's 59 Euros... I really don't remember what that translated to in dollars, you can do the math). You can always cancel right before it renews if you want.
But if you only get the 1 month, you don't have access to the zip file download option, and can only grab 250 pics a day (and believe me, you will burn through that in NO time)
With the 3 mo recurring membership you can download up to 8GB a day. The zip file set that this girl (Etela) came in was 2.5GB on its own, and has 314 photos in it.
In any case, I love this site. It's the absolute best collection of reference I've ever come across for human modeling.
They've got packs of clothing, period costumes, weapons, and even animals on there too.
My work used to have a subscription to the place and I got hooked, so after we dropped it at work, I went and got my own subscription.

Well my birthday's coming up...I could DESTROY that site in 3 months lol
Thanks for the advice

what set is this from? i have an account from 3d.sk and i'd like to know which set this is since i havent been in there for a while.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's Etela. She's got her main set, the poses set, and a movie set. The main set's zip file is 2.5gb all on its own - lol. Huge. Loads of pictures.

did you do a little cleanup too? seems REALLY symmetrical...
π: 0 β©: 1
You mean on the photo? Of course. I always go through several tests to make sure the face still looks right when mirrored, in photoshop, since I'm going to be using symmetry in max.
You'd be amazed how often you take a photo that looks straight on - front, and mirror it and it's actually quite asymmetrical, and if you tried to model just half that face with symmetry, it would look weird. So I go through several photo editing steps to get it so that it still looks 'right' when mirrored in photoshop, before I move forward.

modeling faces freak me out allot, mainly because my interist lies in environments meh. Either way this will be of soem use to me seeing as I've decided to undertake a character for the third time.
