MUCH Better! (heads/faces)

(1/3) > >>

Destructavator:
Now this one was a piece of cake compared to my past character heads.

With the new test dev release of MakeHuman, a little rendering work from Aqsis, and a few adjustments to a mesh, I was able to put together a low-poly head/face that still retains nice texture detail.

This head has less than 400 total verts, despite what it might look like.

(I've only mapped it from the front so far, which explains the artifacts on the sides.  When I'm done it'll look nicer.)

Thanks to recent developments in the Makehuman software, this took only a few minutes to put together once I figured out just how to go about doing it.  Yes, the days of the old, hard way of making character heads is fading, and much less of a chore now.

BTW, MH software now automatically makes clothing too, automatically shaped to fit the body meshes it exports.

It still needs some tweaks, and of course hair, but it should come out much better than my past works.

Destructavator:
BTW, this face is still totally CGI generated 100%, so no, I didn't take anything from a photo of anyone from anywhere.

Now to just add hair...

H-Hour:
Looks very nice.

Destructavator:
OK, now if I could just find a way to make the hair look as nice as the face...

BTW, this will be the new head for the young civilian boy model, although I eventually plan to have an alternate as well with a different haircut (as well as various hair colors).

Destructavator:
I remembered that in-game, with the lighting and such, colors of models look different than they do in Blender.

Later on I'll try these heads in my copy of the game with some testing, and after some tweaks I think these might end up usable.

Oh, and the last one on the end is just for fun.  (Hey, around where I live I've seen plenty of youths dye their hair funky colors, it's actually quite common and has been going on for more than 15 years or so in these parts, one of those "fads" among young people that I don't think will ever die out.  Even some adults here do such things, although they usually go for more traditional colors.)
