Hey, looks good Proton. Looks like the UV is working out pretty good.

The only thing I might suggest is changing the poly flow in the neck area somewhat to account for the SCM muscles in the neck if the model is going to be animated at all.

I have a pretty good example of it on my head model I just posted. You can see the polygons coming down from the ear on the side view. http://vbulletin.newtek.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16293

Is it just the head you're doing or are you modeling the body as well?

[WilliamVaughan]

I did it just for fun and for testing LightWave Eight. Cartoon models don't seem to get the same respect as well. I'm more a fan of cartoon style but can appreciate the realistic stuff.

I plan on manipulating this model when I get time to change it into a cool caricature....

[dbolto]

Have they made any improvements to LW 8's UV tools?

Just wondering!

[Kuzey]

Coolness...but I doooo like them toons :p

Proton mad skills are blinding. Took a friend to point out what display mode he was working in. Them be colored wireframe on textures. Woohoo.

[JDaniel]

Nice model Proton. Can you show a grid map applied on your head 4 us?

[Abborre 2.0]

NIce.. but need some relax tool on the Uv around the ears... is the Relax tool omplented yet? i know we talked about it at the 3dfestival.

[KOlson]

Nice work! :)

Do I notice some new view modes as well in 8? :)

[WilliamVaughan]

it took almost an entire day for people to notice :)


the new modes and settings are extremely helpful and have become impossible for me to work without :)

[KOlson]

Thats just awesome :) Are these modes also in Layout? Can we see a demo of the new modes in one of the future "sneak peek" vids?

[Nemoid]

Mmhh! wires on textured mode... :)

I agree with HR about polyflow in neck area,
but for the rest, very clean mesh at all.

[CB_3D]

Cool model, very clean. Ahhh, Texturewire.....

[policarpo]

awesome model.

man...you really need to do a couple modeling videos and sell them to us.

you are a god!

[JDaniel]

Proton will you show a grid map on your mesh? Curious if there's smoother uv's. :)

[WilliamVaughan]

forgot to post clean wireframe shot earlier :)

[KOlson]

niiiiice

[Elmar Moelzer]

You really have to push people onto news with their noses, LOL

I`m sorry, I couldn`t resist. That`s one of my most important requests!!!!

[cybernaut]

Excellent head!

One minor thing that I noticed in the Top view is that the head may be a bit too "boxy" in it's shape. Heads are usually more oval or egg shaped, not just from the front but also the top. IMHO :)

[hrgiger]

I love the hidden backface wireframe view! The colored wireframes are cool too but the hidden backface is where it's at for me...

[Ziah]

viewmode looks cool..hmm nice.

Hi all

Can we also see Subd Objects in Layout 8 in like we currently see them in Modeler and not all tripled polys?

This feaure would be handy :)

[WilliamVaughan]

UV screen Grab. Simple Cylindrical map with a few tweks.

[phrick]

Great model & texture!

Now if you could just replace the image with a hi-res grid texture and give us a nice close-up...

Puhleeeze... (?)

[j3st3r]

Proton,

Is it possible, that the dreaded UV/Subdiv problem is eliminated? At first glance the screenshot suggests it

[papou]

hi all,
like JDaniel, J3st3r and phrick, i really want to see a black&white checkboard grid in a close-up view!! :)
This texture don't seem to be distorded like mine!
cheers,

[Ramon]

Very nice job Proton.
I really like the texture-wireframe view. I'm looking forward to that in 8!
