Description
I did this as an experiment in a new method (for me) for creating the human head - something which is done extensively in the more realistic style games these days.Its called Camera mapping, a technique that takes references images and projects them onto your model allowing you to more or less push and pull the verts into the right place based on how far the image is skewed etc or not.
Its a really good way to learn more about the proportions and relationships between many of the features of the human head.
Valuable.
All up I spent about 12 hours on this.
Full View please!

hehehe nah, not this time - it was an excersize in texturing using cameras basically - i learnt alot. My next model will be the full monty!

That's okay, I'm sure you have your reasons heh. I used to think Mental Ray looked pretty sweet, but I'm liking that other one next to it better, is this shader available for Maya by chance?
and Nice! I look forward to it :3

I just suck with mental ray hahah i need to up my skill on it! Im not sure if maya default has this shader actually, it must do though ?? Look for a default normal map shader in the hypershade there or perhaps you need to set one up on your own inside hypershade?

XD nah you don't suck with it, you just use other ones better lol. Well I was thinking it might be an add on for Maya but...I dunno I haven't really check, I'm still learning how to texture >.<

Ahh okay no problem, im sure you can find something similar on the net if theres not one already built into maya

Looking cool!! and realistic btw could u tell a few words about this real time shader u use in viewport render does it have some kind of SSS effects??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey thanks for looking! the realtime shader ships with 3dsmax, it comes with max by default - just need to apply it, and apply your maps like you would make any standard max material. There are bound to be heaps of tutorials out there - actually you can probably find the the answer in the help files of 3dsmax 
This Default max shader helps alot for giving you some idea of what your model will look like in most engines with DEFAULT lighting, ie nothing fancy hehehe

Eheh, nice try. Hair are a bit "polygonal" at borders, but I really like the "reality" of the skin.
A great work for a low-poly model.

Hehehehe yeah, not an excersize to create awesome hair - my WIP thread on CGTalk goes into deep explanation about what i am trying to do. Really i didnt care about the hair!
I should though, shouldnt I ? I will try not to be so careless next time hah!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, are you planning to do something hairy (using a fur plugin) or something about bump, filling the head's skin with a nice texture?
nd
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, definately! though thats not going to come until after my next piece. Not sure what you mean by "or something about bump, filling the head's skin with a nice texture" ??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, I mean just a nice texture for the hair instead of something hard to render, like realistic polygonal hair.

Ahh lol - Yeah ill do something a bit better next time
