During the tutorial we were shown how to use our photographs of our partner to help create the basic shape of the head. To do this i had to import the face on photo into the front camera view on Mudbox. The same applied to the size view photograph with the size view camera.

I next had to make the image size on both views smaller because they are a lot larger that the model and they aren't on screen. I changed both of the images to the same size on the scale box to 0.3.



I next had to make the face on the side the same as the picture i took so that the model will have the same shape head. I used the grab tool to pull the basic ear shape inline with the photo. I next used the grab tool on the edge of the face on the nose, forehead, chin, head and neck to move the face into the right shape from the side view. what else this does is pull the face forward and back. This means from the front you can use that depth change on the sides to build upon and aline with the rest of the head.

I did the same technique to the front of the face and dragged the sides of the face out and the top of the head up. I also dragged the ears into place from the front view. From doing this technique i have created a basic shape of my partners head. I would of started this model by sculpting and bugling areas if i wasn't taught this way of creating a basic structor. This has saved me a lot of time and a lot of work, as well it most likely has given me the closest starter model. By sculpting the face and not using the images then i doubt if my model would like much like my partner in the same amount of time also it mostly likely would of been uneven.

I struggled a little during this process due to my pictures of my partner on the slight slant. i had to aline the face/nose to how i thought it would of fitted when in the centre. This meant i had to lightly move the details to the left so that they aren’t also on the slant.
