Thanks Guys.

CB: Just do the box modelling method, and I tend to pull edges around more than points these days as you get form alot quicker and its easier to see while you are doing it, especially while pulling loops about on the cheeks and eyes. I really recommend get MjPolytools plugin for modelling.

I ain't very proficient with box-modelling, I never seem to be able to add extra detail correctly.

I got mjpolytools a couple of weeks ago, after reading someones post - quite possibly one of your posts. The edge loop doesn't always seem to work for me. But when it does it is very useful!!

cheers

Hi Cb

Not proficient??? Nahhhh!!!

I have asked Mike Mckinley about doing a tutorial for the site cos people have been so cool with their feedback but he said no cos they have a head tutorial already. I might do one anyway, in the near future, so if you're interested in trying it out again I can always send you it.

that would be really cool,

at the moment I create heads by extruding edges - around eye then mouth then form the rest from there onwards. It produces an ok mesh, just I would like to try another method and see which is best for me.

cheers

Once again a awesome model, supremely clean mesh. Looking forward to seeing how she develops. Is this for your Alien character project or a fun side project?

I love the clean geometry as well Jango, not a non-quad to be found, great job, I am looking forward to the rest. Plus if you do make your own head tutorial I would love to know of it, even just the wireframes are a great help.
