  • Face and head modeling in Blender is easy when you use this topology trick. You can make a wide variety of faces when you use it with proportional editing, multiresolution sculpting, and the shrinkwrap modifier. Rigging works well without retopology too.

    I never thought modeling faces could be this simple but these methods are so intuitive that after I learned them it felt like something I should have thought of immediately, and I see that as a sign of genius (on the part of the teacher). Well done!

    I'm a 2D person, and I basically got into Blender just for Grease Pencil. Your channel has already gotten me hooked on Geometry Nodes, but you've also been the first person to ever show me how to make a base for sculpting that actually makes sense for me. Could not recommend your channel more highly.

    I've looking for face modelling tutorials for a while. I watched sculpting and then retopology, I watched making faces with vertex from scratch. However, this has to be the most amazing tutorial. Very easy to follow, fun to watch and most importantly, after you are done with the basic shape of the cube, you can actually use that as your template.
    Thank you so much for this!

    Ok I don’t comment on CZcams videos but this was a really good tutorial that actually made me laugh on multiple occasions. The kiss sound was perfectly timed, the existential crisis while lingering on the sad face, and the chad render reveal were perfect. It also has me considering putting facial animations in my game, where I was going to do painted on reactions at first. Great job! Got my sub.

  • @chuctanundaspiderbone5407

    Thanks, Joey. This is a great primer on how edge loops work. YOne of the biggest mistakes I made in my Blender learning journey was not mastering basic box modeling concepts before attempting more ambitious & complex projects. I always ended up with scenes that had too much geometry & bad topology.
    My models were too difficult and time consuming to texture, and filling a scene with bad topology will bring even the most powerful computer to its knees. I ended up abandoning many projects for this reason. Understanding basic box modeling and good topology early will speed up your workflow & your learning process. For people who are new to Blender, master these concepts before using the subsurf modifier. This will literally save you years of aggravation.

    • @Paul-mf7zx
      @Paul-mf7zx Před rokem

      which resources would you recommend to learn those concepts?

    • @chuctanundaspiderbone5407
      @chuctanundaspiderbone5407 Před rokem +4

      @@Paul-mf7zx I became aware of my modeling deficits when I started to get into animation and sculpting. One phase of the sculpting process is to learn re-topology. It brings your poly count down and, if done right, makes your model easier to animate. It's tedious but instructive.
      You can't animate anything successfully that has bad topology. So, start here with Joey Carlino, he has a lot of material on modeling and animating characters, a potentially complex and difficult process that he makes very accessible with his approach. I also learned a lot from Grant Abbitt. He has a wide variety of material on CZcams much of it focused on low-poly modeling. He also has several full-length paid courses focused on skill building. He tends to focus on creating assets for game development, which requires you develop good topology skills.
      These days there is a ton of high quality Blender learning material, compared to when I started. There is some great free material, so sample a lot of it but do invest in some full-length paid courses by people whose work & teaching style you like. You will support the community as well as save yourself a lot of time & aggravation by learning a topic from the ground up.
      A few things I have learned recently:
      Practice on simple things.
      Strive for quad based models; Avoid using Ngons, poles & triangles.
      While you are practicing, avoid using the subsurf modifier. Learn to use just enough geometry to get the shape you want.
      Focus on creating the overall shapes you want before you go into detail.
      Delete and start over, esp. if you start banging your head against the wall. Every time you start over, you approach problems from a different perspective.

    6:16 to save you some time, you could just enable the "Bisect" option on the mirror modifier, it will essentially delete the faces for you, it can cause some artifacts if you aren't careful with the center line though.

  • @raulyjimenez9167
    @raulyjimenez9167 Před rokem +2

    IN general, studying topology really helps. Doing it over and over again builds a repository in your head. Once you start rigging and identifying aspects of your poses that need work you just start understanding what topology needs to look like at certain areas to get the bends you need.

    Box modeling is probably the best way to go about it if all you're going to tackle is edge flow for only the front of the face. That knowledge dissected about proper edge flow is the most important thing you could have shared. Thank you. If only it had more screen time to add emphasis on it's importance.
    Unfortunately, you still need proper flow for the skull indents and it's temples, the skull's general shape from front and back, ear zone, ear shape, general depth, cheekbones and even the jawbone.
