Modelling - Progress - Hair 02

Modelling 3 curls in big hair is a mission... >____<

I've taken the lower two curls away because it looked really odd and unnatural (see picture)...
I have also uploaded a quick 360 video of the current hair and will need to ask Aminata if she thinks that is ok to accept or not...

360 video of current hair:


01:17 31/12/07 Update:
Called Aminata and went through the details about the hair and she agreed that the modelled in "curls/swirls" should be taken away.

Aminata asked for the hair to remain the same as seen in the 360 video.

She also said that she wanted to experiment with bump mapping to apply the curls to the "bumps" in the current hair on the lower left and right.

Modelling - Progress - Hand 02

After speaking to Aminata, I edited her original hand design.
The new design still maintains the slim, delicate-ish fingers but is slightly less odd shaped.
I have provided a playblast of my modifications:

Have just finished modelling the hand following the portrait view design Aminata had provided.
Hmm....however, in 3D I found the hand seems a bit oddly shaped in certain areas, so need to check with Aminata if that is what she wants or whether its ok for me to edit to what I think may be more suitable.

Here is the hand design provided by Aminata:


And here is a playblast of the hand modelled:

Erm...the swirls are not going so great....this curly hair business is a bit more tricky than I had planned.....

I did not know how Aminata wanted the curly/swirly hair so I experimented with two different methods to see what results I got...they were the following:

Swirl/Curl 1:
















Swirl/Curl 2:


After speaking to Aminata before progressing, Aminata preferred Swirl/Curl 1

Modelling - Progress

Okay, I have about 12,000 polys to work with when the model is smoothed

So far so good-ish....Aminata did not give me details on whether she wanted the whole leg modelled or not, so I just modelled it anyway.

Here are a few screenshots of my progress so far:







































She looks bit scary with the bald head hehe...the eyes on the side I can not make as deep as they are drawn as the eyelids and part of the top cheek will pierce through the eyeball...and the eyeball is quite massive because of the size and height Aminata wants the eye to be

Onto the hair now which should be fun(!) have never tried doing all these swirls (in the hair) before.......wish me luck (><;)

Final Model Sheet Sent From Aminata

Here is the final model sheet of Young Ginette I have received from Aminata and will be using to model the character from:
