Once we have our basic head model, we can go into detail by adding edge flow to areas that have more detail (need more edge/vertices) than other areas like eyes, nose, and lips. N-gone and unterminated edge loops are allowed at the base mesh because we must smooth the whole model to convert all the polygons to quad.

2023年11月28日 · E-poles are most notorious for appearing when extruding faces on a mesh and for forming unwanted flat “corners” within the topology when edge loops meet or turn. E-poles are also what form concave corners in hard surface models.

Sculpted and rebuilt the topology of a human model's head, and neck using Blender’s polybuild tool, ensuring accurate muscle flow and edge loop placement for optimal deformation. Applied Blender’s mirror modifier to maintain symmetry and streamlined the process by modeling only half of the character with a central symmetry axis.

2024年4月27日 · Establishing good practices in 3D modeling is crucial to ensure that the model deforms correctly during animation, allowing for smooth and natural movements of characters or objects. Additionally, clean topology facilitates easier modification and editing of the model, enabling artists to iterate quickly and make adjustments as needed.

2012年3月31日 · I’m now starting to collect all these tutorials, lectures, etc into a single place in my newLearning Mesh Topology Collection. Currently this collection includes: Topology in Theory and Practice - Blender Conference 2010 Lecture; Topology Overview of the Human Head; Topology Overview of the Human Torso; Topology Overview of the Human Shoulder

2023年10月18日 · Try to make the simplest topology first, and then add only the necessary missing details if any. What makes Chris Jones’s work really great is that he uses some displacement maps, shape keys and rig tricks to add layers of details and muscle deformation on the mesh. That way the topology can stay very simple.

The tutorial below gives you a general idea for how to model a human head such as edge loop placement, but your model will vary in the specifics. You will want to make your head match your reference as closely as possible. Be sure to review the Image Plane prerequisite exercise so you can properly set up your reference images in Maya.

This video series covers mesh topology and edgeflow of a voxel sculpted human head. We cover the ideas behind edgeflow for ease of retopologizing, mesh topology & edgeflow for deformation & animation and when/how to the use of the different retopology tools in 3D-Coat v3.2.

The base mesh is capable to be morphed practically in any human character, but in some cases it is preferred to have a very specialized topology. For this reason, since the version 1.0 alpha 7, MakeHuman includes a function to change the mesh of the character, just selecting it …

By strategically restricting the viewport and focusing on specific areas, we refine the mesh with precision and attention to detail. Through a meticulous process of extrusions, loop cuts, and vertex adjustments, we have successfully crafted a realistic human head model in Blender.
