I have tried to box model using a tutorial on youtube and it was modeling a Desert Eagle but the tutorial wasnt complete as there was no part 3 so I dont know what to do when I finnish so here is the stage im at







I want to get the head into a 3D model but I dont know how to using the box model method.

And when I go on youtube on this video

When I click the bottom right tool I cant draw lines.

Thanks

Also if anyone could give me a tutorial on how to make a 3d head that would be great

The reference images came from got3d.com.

Hi RossMcKay

you start modeling wrong...dont use box/flat.
there many ways to modeling a head..
see this topic: http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php?topic=3542.msg25417#msg25417
or this: http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php?topic=1070.0


cheers

Thanks but on that 2nd link where it says

follow steps using and in Anim8or, is easy!

How do you use them 2 tools and when I'm selecting faces I have converted to mesh and I can only select the faces behind how do I fix it.

Thanks

look up edge loops. they will give u a great view on how to model.

i think you have your faces inside out. if they are blue when you select them that means the inside is on the outside. select all your faces and go to edit>flip normals. (i think its in edit).

also look at some (of the better) models wireframes. you will get a better idea on what to do with that as well.

If you are going to box model a head then you use just one box and not three.
If you look at your third picture, how do you plan to join these boxes into a head ??

[RossMcKay]

That was what I was wondering how to join the 3 together and you said 1 box how would i add the ears and eyes?

Thanks

When you watch the youtube video, most new users are not aware that qqqsimmons has pre-set up his modelling so what you are actually looking at is a premade face that has the top edge selected.

So he started by using the extrude edge tool, dragging the edge up then switching to the move tool to adjust his points to the profile of the face.

Once he has the profile it is just a case of extruding the edges and adjusting to the other ref view he has ... ( I might add it looks easy but it is not!! )

part III is here...
