Animation Tutorial

What prevented me from finishing is just how time consuming the project is. To position all the verteces so that they will work when you extrude them and to get them so that when you are finished and animate the face it moves naturally is really hard. I haven't even gotten to the part where you get to learn new things.

Tutorial Stuff

The tutorial is not very detailed as in step by step instructions. I found good reference images and I found some other tutorials that guide me throught most of the initial process which is what I need since the other tutorial helps with the detailing and the finishing process.
It is actually very basic as it is similar to the process with which we made our helmet but the tough part is getting it to mimic a human face and the other hard part is using something called UV mapping to get textures and such.
The many different little components you have to make are also hard to do because its so much detail especially the eyes nose and mouth. Eyes have to look real, nose has to look symetrical and not too big or small, and the mouth has to have really good geometry for you to be able to animate it which i want to try but dont think I will be able to do.

New Project with Tutorial

For this project I want to create a face. I also think I can do the hair maybe. I picked this because I want to do something different that looks cool and because I think I will learn how to use many different techniques and tools. I will make a girl face and hopefully I finish and hopefully it comes out looking good!
