3D Model - Mylo, Continues

The cuteness saga continues this morning as Mylo's face continues to flourish in shape.

• Just lined up all center vertices to be straight all the way, up and down. This will help to save time tweaking, later on down the line.
• Correcting overlapping faces as I work; again, doing this now will save heaps of time!

Further tweaks; building the rest of the face right now. Mylo started out as a cat-boy design, but I think I'm going to make him a few different heads, to incorporate for different animals. Ooh! And then a female body type, to allow for a wide variety of different characters!
















This has been such an inspiring learning process! I used to think a head could be made straight from a cube or sphere - but this way of modeling a character head makes way more sense to me! FTW!

Hmm...It's ironic that both his name and the name of another girl kitty character I'd created for drawing class both start with the letter "M" -- I think "Myra" was her name. =^__^= They're going to be the first two in the series. Hair and clothing objects are going to be separate models to allow for a wider range of character possibilities. Myra had the cutest little pig-tails!

One goal I have this summer is to learn model rigging. These happy cats are going to receive this treatment - and the clothes will need rigging as well.

3D Model - Mylo

This is the first sculpted 3D model I've decided to take on, I'm quite proud.
I'll be posting screen shots of my progress throughout my blog.

Edge Loops - Important factors in stabilizing the eye and mouth regions.

















With having segregated the eyes and mouths in their own separate edge looping areas, the nose has stayed within it's own area, thus becoming it's own component. Going slow, but Mylo's coming to life, none the less.
