How is it going?


Well! How indeed. I have modelled the head and done the face mapping but I am in now way convinced that this looks like me.

Once I had got the head and that awful ear finished I began the mapping process. First I had to apply a checker pattern to the head to identify where any stretched pixels where. I used the unwrap UVW modifier to correct any problems found here. Once I had cleaned those issues and stretched out the UVW map I then moved over to Photoshop. In here I began cutting out the main features of my face, eyebrow, lips, nose etc… Next using a combination of the clone stamp and patch tool I filled in all the gaps between the features.

I still have a couple of tutorials to follow to add more detainl to the face but im certainly getting there.

I reckon I haven’t got some of the featured of my face defined correctly on my face mesh and that is why it is not looking correct just yet, maybe with some tweaking all will be well.

I think I am going to take a couple of days off from it as I have been at it for 14 hours a day for a week. I think a break may help me to see the bigger picture on my return to the project.

I think you have done quite well with this one. There are bits of the face that really resemble yours.
