Face modelling, techinique 1

Ok, so, first lesson over and the whole face modelling things wasn't quite what I was expecting but was really good. Got confused at first with all the lines but got there in the end.

Topology is confusing.

The tutorials that we used are really good, and although the face of the guy got a little complex I think it was good for our first run. I found the tutorials easy to follow, even with the American guy, who I will say explained every well what we was doing.
Starting with the blue lines to mark out the areas that fall in or raise off of the face was relatively easy, guess you just think about where your own face creases when u smile etc. But the red, the actually topology marking, now that was hard, but after a little bit of concentration and thought, and forgetting that triangles ever existed, it came together.
Little annoyed about our room not having 3D Studio Max, but thats the techs' for you I guess. Hopefully we'll be able to get into a room next week n start making 3D us's.
So this weekend I plan on getting some pictures done of my face in the views needed and having a go at giving myself some photoshop aided war paint, or topology as its technically known.

First thoughts

Upon hearing the idea for this project I was a little scared, b ut i think its going to be a good challenge and with a little hard work there's going to be a great outcome. First thoughts are that I would like to concentrate on possibly animation side of it but being as there are others in the class with a lot more skill than I have it would possibly be better to concentrate on something I am more suited to, as time progresses im sure ill make a choice.
This afternoon were looking into face modelling and my first impression sitting here waiting for the lecture to start is that its going to be so good, im really looking forward to discovering what can be made, could be a little scary i guess making a 3D me, or person.
...more at the end of the lecture i guess........

1st lesson in Sawyers

Sitting in the first lesson of the year for 3D studio Max. Looking forward to some challenging work, but a little scared about all the work being set this year and being able to get the grades.
So...modelling our own faces should be fun being as i have some new piercings and a new hair style to be able to really emphisis and make it definatly me. :) as if it could be anyone else.

YAY bring on the modelling (I sound confident now, ask me at 5)
