Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

thanks vladimirjp and good point with the neck. I've not really done much with it yet but will definately give it some attention after the (slow going) hair modelling.

Managed to progress a little with the hair. It's all fairly basic geometry at the minute and there is shed loads to do:

Looks pretty cool man.

thanks guys user added image

its all trial and error at the minute. I got a bit more detail done last night. It still needs more volume in the hair but I'll come back to that after the flow is in place.

Looking good Tick, really just a thought but if you texture are you going to join the beard and hair into one mesh? just so that that way you can have the "grain" (dont know if thats the right term) of the marble running through, without any messy texture placements?

Like I say just a thought.

Cheers

Steve

Good job you brought that up as I'd not really thought about it. I think for a realistic stone look the whole head, hair and beard might need to be attached as one unit so that, like you say, the textures will run smooth. It'll be an experiment once the time consuming hair and beard are complete user added image

No probs man, you could always project a texture onto it if it got too messey then bake it on??

Bit of a easy route out of it

Sounds like a possibility steve. If it comes to that then it'll be tutorial hunting time unless its in the help section user added image

cheers for that steve user added image

Here's another minor update as I've been real busy recently. The whole left side of the hair is effectively done now except for some tweaking and the edges. I'm going to duplicate this area for the right side and then go in and move some of those strands about to get the look right and blend in with the front right hair which sits differently. Then its mr beard time... user added image
Next time a bumpmap or an excuse to get zbrush might save a lot of time!

user added image Good work mate. The modelling in the face area is looking awesome! I think once you get the neck area sorted out as vladimirjp suggested this is going to look very cool.

well done!
