Project 303: First step to the character modeling....

The Project Description

This here is my personal blog, that outlines all aspects of my progression throughout the Ani303 project. We are required to write, plan and produce a short movie for the deadline of June 13th 2008. The entire year group has been separated into groups by choosing their favored film, and have dedicated their final year to this project. I personally chose the story written by Johnathan Pryce with the working title 'Aztec Escape'
Follow this blog to find out where, when and what has been going and hopefully get an insight into the way i work with in a group.

First step to the character modeling....

As any modeler knows, specially when it comes to modeling characters, that the referance images used must be high resolution and very accurate; whether that be a photograph or a drawing. However, the drawings produced by Ben were somewhat lacking in those areas. Never the less, it didn't slow down the already lagging process and i started modeling as best i could with the reference i had. I spent some time initially editing and the model sheet in order to have both side and front of the head matching in all the important places (eyes, mouth nose eyes etc) and did the same with the body. As u can see below, the drawings also featured the character with his arm down by his side, which also needed to be adjust; i did this in photo shop also.
