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.

Modeling a realistic eye

Hi. I'm following this guide: https://phungdinhdung.com/Studies_pap..._modeling.shtm

As i already know how to make decent head meshes... i wanted to go through the diffrent area's and make them as realistic as possible, learn to make them really good then put together in a very hi-poly head model. So i'm starting off at the eye. Taking help from the link above.

Here's what i got. I might add more loops but for a "start" how do you think this looks?

I used this as a guide:

https://phungdinhdung.com/Studies_pap..._eye_water.jpg

the only difference between my model and the guy who made the guidepic for myself is that his headmesh + the small bit nearest the nose in the eye is disconnected from eachother. But I dont think that matters.


How do you think i'm coming along?
what's good/bad, what should i change, where should i add more loops etc etc etc.


looking forward for your replies. thanks user added image

edit: I think disconnecting the thing in the side of the eye with the whole mesh would be a good thing. since that litle thing should be more under/behind the mesh rather than being a part of the eye mesh. I'm going to disconnect it now and work on that part.




Can someone move this topic to the "work in progress" list? user added image Figured i'd update my model now and then and go through some problems i'm coming across and so on. thanks user added image

update:

i disconnected that part, added more geometry to it. Now what i noticed while doing this is the eyes in the side kinda go "into" eachother. they merge in a way. Like the letter O and V. My model is more like an O, while i noticed the sides should be like a V... I'm going to try to work with this. Though its hard while already having such a big amount of polygons...

I'm going to go through my model and decide the topology that im facing. I don't think I've made any fault in my topology so far. tell me if i have ..... user added image

i'll go through the topology in school tomorrow and get back and work with this when i get home user added image can't wait. goodnight. user added image

Looking good Skalman. Three things I see:

1) There is an odd crease near the tear duct.
2) The lips don't have a crease in them. Right now they look "fluffy"
3) You're missing the philtrum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philtrum


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

nice start i would probably tweak the area at the corner of the nose where it meets the mouth. and just slide the mesh surface over to even things out, better flow that way.

LOOK AT 02.45 :

What do you think about this topology for the eye? Feels like it gets a more rough and realistic look to it, if i would look at an eye it feels more natural for me to have the structure like this: user added image user added imageuser added imageuser added imageuser added image

What do you guys think about this?
