Woman

[Carm3D]

Hey all,

I've been modeling this lady in Silo. Rendering in LW of course. I want to put a nice elegant dress on her.. Hopefully with cloth dynamics in blender if I can figure out how to use it. But for now, she's nude.

I would say, give her more cheek bones, and her breasts have a bit of a large gap between them, and they go too high underneath at the inside too. But it's coming along nicely.

[Carm3D]

Cheekbones... Yeah.. I've been meaning to tweak those.. Thanks.

[Carm3D]

Updated. Forearms and cheek retopology.

Her face looks too 'male' for me. The face needs more sexy curves. Do you use reference images? Also the breasts are not ok :-) great *** though

Further tweaking will make it a great model I think.

I don't think that the buttocks are coming down far enough. This makes the pubis appear too low from the back, thus the vulva too low. Even in really skinny women, this doesn't appear as pronounced as in your image, although the region may appear clearly visible. The angle from the inferior border of the pubis to the distal end of the coccyx should be slight almost close to horizontal. Like this...

The photo ref that I used was like this. What can I say.

Here's a first look at her hands:

Hmmm... no need to show us the finger Carm

I do not like some proportions and volumes honestly. But I'm talking from my gutt:
- neck base too thick, not feminine
- breats could look more soft and less tense like they were 'fake'.
- upper back is too wide and defined. I think men do an angled \ / while woman do a straight ) ( [yay pseudo-anatomy with typography, lol]
- And the above is making the buttocks look have more slope volume like a man would have, than a wide hip woman.
- The head itself has a lot going on that could be enhanced, but I'm really not sure so i would guess something like; i think it looks a bit stretched on the Z axis, forehead too much back tilt, jaw could be more round, ear could be smaller and less circular
Just found this profile head reference: http://lh3.ggpht.com/-V9ztQytcHIM/Sf...0828Medium.jpg

How is freeform sculpting in Silo doing for you? Is it free from or detailed from a mesh like Modo?
I get crazy by so much drag and tweak with Subdivision when I'm after a shape, and have to adapt the topology as I go and tweak, and shape and adapt topo, and tweak, etc...

The way I would go about this right now would block the volumes and proportions in LW and actually model it in Sculptris and get the topology for it. Even if you get all dandy with details you dind't need, you can bake a normal map with them and it's all good =)

Some nude image references for later works.

My 2 cents
It's honestly not a fair task to model the thing we look at the most, men and women these days: the female body. Keep it up

Can we see a closeup of the head?
The breasts seem a bit far apart, or something is odd with the way they are attached to the chest.

Hey,

I just added her hands.

Updated turntable.

I'll look into your alls yours suggestions later.

Ciao,

I don't use that feature of Silo very often because I tried exporting displacements and normal maps from Silo after painting displacements and they were just awful. Maybe I was doing it wrong. I've never used Modo before... But I think it's like Modo. You are limited to whatever memory you have for subdivisions.. Not the way ZBrush does it's HD geometry.

It's still a bit'chin modeler tho.

hi carm, I would block the model head to toe for proportions and pose purposes and then with the block in the BG I can model each part right while fitting the general figure shape.

As for the anatomy tips from the gutt, added some images. ( so small they won't chock anyone, lol, kidding, click on them)




Overall i think you need to attend more to the subtleties and the curves that could indicate a female figure, opposed to a male one.

Have fun!
Cheers

I wouldn't make the neck shorter rather more slender. Nice topo btw.

[mythek1]

I'm in favour of making life as easy as possible when it come to sculpting so I would definitely involve the whole figure. Just doing the torso and pelvic area is bound to throw your eye out. The arm/forearm looks out of proportion. The forearm should be approx 1 & 1/2 head lengths.

EDIT arm length maybe ok. Like I said needs legs

As has been mentioned, a slimmer neck would make a big difference.

I've been making lots o' tweaks... here is the latest.
