Been working on this on and off for about a week. It is a pain to paint the skin weights, especially around the legs. Can anyone see problems with it so far. I still have a heap of work to do on the textures.

It could just be the angle but she looks a bit cross eyed, almost like her eyes need to relax a bit. Otherwise pretty good.

...and that is how I saved the world.

I think the head is proportional. If there is anything I remember from my art classes it's that the body is roughly 6 1/2 to 7 head lengths so he has it pretty close to right.

Allo,

the eyes arnet crossed, its just the crappy jpeg from maya. im gonna render a better quality pic after i do some more texture work.

When i stuck the pics into photoshop it said somthing about a pixel aspect ratio being changed so i had to manualy re scale them. that is why they look a bit distorted.

i'm not worrying too much about the model at the moment cause this was practicing texturs and rigging.

looks very good some guy, though the knee is looking a bit bumpy - especially in the bent knee pose - it almost looks like the bone is pushing forward. Did you build her from that makehuman site?

Cheers
