New Hexagon video tutorial

I just finished recording a new Video, briefly showing a way to retopologize in Hexagon 2.5.
should be up and ready for viewing in an hour or so.

I was able to work on the Hulk project today. I did not save the work done in the screen shot, because I am just now starting to get around in Sculptris and my knowledge of  muscle anatomy is lacking.
  Lots and lots of study to do.
 After I start to feel comfortable with a Sculptris, Hexagon work flow I will consider doing a Sculptris Video tutorial, but not anytime soon.
I do still plan on doing some new Hexagon video tutorials in the near future.

 Don't forget to join this site.

The upcoming Hexagon 2.5 Video tutorials will be HD quality.

Should be able to finalize the settings for recording this weekend.
About all that is left to do is tweak the audio settings a little.
After that I will try balance my time between modeling and preparing a video tutorial series.

Spent a couple of hours today setting up and testing my recording software.
Still need to tweak the settings couple of more days.

Not sure when , but in the next few weeks I will start recording video tutorials again. It takes time to get ready to record and plan out these videos.
More than likely the first one will be a lowpoly character tut.
I will be using Hexagon for the modeling.
At this time Hexagon can be downloaded for free   ( yes, the full version of Hexagon ) from
Daz3d

Finished the lowpoly base mesh for the Hulk. I may need to tweak it some, but I am going to take it into Sculptris and see what happens.

lowpoly head modeling method




Well I finally have decided on a edge extrusion method to model a lowpoly head.
Now I will spend some time tweaking it.
now that I am comfortable with the general modeling of the head, I can start to focus on modeling ears.

Here is a couple of screen shots to the head I am working on.

Starting to get it together





Things are staring to come together now. By that I mean, I am starting to get a bit of a grip on head modeling. Don't get me wrong I still have a long way to go.
Yesterday I joined the polycount forum. You should check it out. If you need inspiration go have look.
Any way here is my latest head model attempt.

Still head modeling




I am back at it now that the Holidays are over, character modeling that is.

Head modeling is still my focus. Spending a lot of time downloading Youtube videos on head modeling. No doubt I will continue learning Character modeling, it has become an obsession.
If you are looking to download videos, you should give real player a try.

Oh and hear is a little tip if you are looking for reference images for head modeling.
Google mug shots.
