philnolan3d Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I was bored and at the same time inspired last night so I started this. I'm posting on Twitter too, curious how long before someone figures out who it is. Some parts are a little exaggerated right now and it's still very lowres (178,000 tri's).

Member Cube Posted March 11, 2010 Member Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Good idea for a thread! I won't hazard a guess yet - nice start though whoever it is I'm useless at human anatomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'm also very bad with anatomy, so I'm just mimicking what I see in my reference photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor 3d_sculptress Posted March 11, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 is it Dwight D. Eisenhower ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted March 11, 2010 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 At this stage he looks alittle like Bentio Mussolini. Except for the nose. Nice demo reel too,Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks. Here's a hint, it's someone still alive. I should probably sculpt some more detail and let that be the next hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member michalis Posted March 12, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I don't know who is he or she. but you wrote this: "I'm also very bad with anatomy, so I'm just mimicking what I see in my reference photos. " Let me say this. (IMO) Few days ago I visited the famous 'archeological Athens museum". As I was looking at these masterpieces this came. Ancient (greeks) were not shy, not shy at all. Everything in universe was an opportunity for them. A challenge. Looking at these male or female nudes there, you could think that I'm talking about homo... or something. This is not the case. These men were touching, feel ... when other great artist in renaissance started anatomy. Anatomy vs feelings. Think about it. I mean that somehow we all know how to sculpt a human body. Its inside us. Sorry for my english. I almost forgot it. You have a mirror haven't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Indeed I have a mirror, but I'm not sculpting me I'm sculpting-- this person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor 3d_sculptress Posted March 12, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 ha,... imo it looks just like Bruce when compared to this pic ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Well thanks. I was inspired after watching him in this new Gorillaz music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9vAOzYz-Qs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philnolan3d Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yes I was just talking about 12 Monkeys on Twitter, filmed here in Philly of course. They show City Hall in the movie, I used to walk through City Hall every day on my way to school (college). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applink Developer haikalle Posted March 12, 2010 Applink Developer Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 This is very nice idea. Let's do more this kind of guessing. I was a little slow with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 They still haven't figured it out on Twitter, of course only one person actually guessed. The others may have missed my tweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Another update. I think this is as far as I can go before turning off symmetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor Tony Nemo Posted March 13, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Another update. I think this is as far as I can go before turning off symmetry. Phil, I've been reading about the polycount/brush size/merge times issue and was wondering how many polys you have at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member michalis Posted March 13, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Looking good so far. Just some mass on the back, it will help you understand the shoulders. Another look on ears before turn off symmetry. One of the problems with voxels is when using the move tool it blurs details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Phil, I've been reading about the polycount/brush size/merge times issue and was wondering how many polys you have at this point. In my opinion there is no issue. I am currently at about 2.9 million. @michalis What's wrong with the ears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member michalis Posted March 15, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 ears look fine philnolan. Maybe its the perspective camera that confused me. All these as long as you have symmetry on. A nice portrait is coming here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thank you. I have started turning symmetry off for some things like the forehead wrinkles. Not bad I think for essentially a couple of days work (it's been 4 days but only a couple hours each day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor artman Posted March 15, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Another update: Great progress here Phil,pretty good choice too. Im not very good at giving anatomy crits but if I were you I would give a quick slash with Scrape Brush on the side of the head....on some pics the lighting make it looks more rounded that it actually is but on those you can see the sides are more straight and straight "earlier" than waht you did with the sides. Hope that helps ...anatomy is really not my forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'll look at that, I actually did make the top a little pointier during the last revision. Perhaps it needs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it needs more. No,no your top is really perfect shape ....I think you just need to flatten the sides right after the corner of the eyes instead of a few cm further...Anyway,in such a few days it already looks great I think.

Advanced Member michalis Posted March 15, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Be aware of the perspective camera, these 'reference' photos use tele in most cases. It is always a problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thanks yes I'm switching between ortho and perspective to make sure it looks right. Here's another update after some suggestions on CGTalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Calabi Posted March 16, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I think the forehead looks too rounded. It looks like he has a constant frown. It should be mostly flat then curve round roughly above the middle of his eyes. His jawline the back part underneath his ears needs to be wider so its almost the same width as the upper part of his head. His nose looks wrong I dont think he has a beak, from some refs it looks like its goes straight down and curves over at the end. It looks squashed from the front view. The side view shape doesnt seem right either it should be mostly flat across the top and then curve down. The back of the neck should curve inwards a bit roughly level with the bottom of the nose. I wouldnt use ortho at all to be honest you'll just end up distorting your model. There's no such view in the real world, and it only works if your lining up things exactly in the viewport and you cant because you have no reliable references. At the moment in my humble opinion I cant recognise it as Bruce Willis, it may be getting there though. Sorry if thats too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
