Hi dave

looks like a decent start......however LOL
just look at the image i have attached

just to summarize:
lips are to big and to low.
nose needs to move up a bit
eyes have the correct height as far as i can tell but they are to far apart.
ears start way to high.

and to comment about stuff that isn't in the picture i uploaded the brow area needs to be more rounded and there is some funky stuf going on around the chin area.

But nice start though, trust me i usually start with a more crappy looking model then you did and they seem to work out alright in the enduser added image

Hi mastone
I did the modelling before I had my daughter take the photo, I did not notice how old I had got. Starting to wish I missed this one out. I think I will take a less tectnical look at my face but try to get the jist of it. does that make sence...........dave

edit: sorry mastone I may have read the brief wrong but I am trying to merge my face with a avatar this mean that my eyes and nose will be out of proportion....dave

I think the things I have mentioned are key to making an avatar version of yourself.
look at sam worington his eyes are relatively far apart and this is translated to his cg /avatar version same goes for all his other facial proportions i am sure of it.

You are of course free to do whatever you like.
I will judge you not LOL

The upper half needs to be more Alien with bigger eyes

the reference is good, Just get it on an image plane in Maya and line them up.

Great start Dave

It's a great start Dave. Don't say "old", say "distinguished"! Model a cool headpiece and call yourself the chief Avatar! Head of the Maya clan!

Thanks for the kind word of encouragement ctbram, Im not sure where I am going with is "maya or zbrush", zbrush would be the easyest but I think I will stick with maya as far as my modelling skills will go. might have time to do two one maya only and one maya zbrush.........thanks dave
