3D Head Modeling From Box

[@cerealexperiments8189]

This is the most elegant head modelling method I've seen.

[@D2Kprime]

For those saying that this is too fast to follow here are a few helpful tips. You can slow the video down to 0.25. That allows for you to really zero in on what he is doing. And of course you can pause as needed. As far as everything else, if you have the basic fundamentals of poly modeling in place, this is pretty easy to follow. He's not doing anything complex or tricky. Just moving vertices around, removing or adding loops to the mesh, deleting polys in certain areas (like for the mouth) etc. @ 0:14 he may have spun an edge. It's hard to tell. That is the only thing I can see that a novice would not be comfortable doing because spinning edges can mess up your topology if you don't know what you are doing. This person clearly does know what they are doing. Whether you are using Blender, Maya, or 3DS Max this is a video that can be used as a tutorial for any of those programs, again *IF* you have the basics down in each program.

modelling: haha head go brrrr modelling lore:

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

This is still one of the best edge modeling examples of how edgeloops should flow on a face for good topology and animation ability. Great stuff.

[@ChristianDaryantoL]

Thanks for the nice words. Happy new year 2020 😁

[@xl000]

I followed the instructions and the one I made looks like a freaking monster.

[@johnsmith56920]

That's because time lapse videos aren't made to help you. They are just the worst kind of show off. I wouldn't particurlay mind but hey are occupying an awfull lot of the results and polllute the threads.

[@loadingtekno]

LMAO!!!

[@giftgiver23]

Lol mood

[@sridharan5172]

Not bad bro you make a 3d monster

[@jakeenvelopes9561]

Totally. It's like watching a "How to draw a human face" tutorial by somebody who already knows how to do it really well. If I pick up a pencil and try to draw a face it's crap. That's the whole point of wanting to learn not just watch somebody brilliant do it.

[@MarcV_IndieGameDev]

Beast of a model, I really love how quick this process is, I'm going to see about breaking it down and understanding the flow... good work there chap

[@xXCrackFireXx]

Thank you! Your tutorial is awesome for keeping the detail level in every region always constant and who does not add and delete edges all the time, very clean and easy to follow tutorial aswell as topology!

[@angeld7849]

Is not a tutorial, is a timelapse

[@G00Dkatt]

That is a great way to get a head modelled. Gives you a lot more control than other methods I have used. Well done!

[@gacia4827]

Man, Its the best video I've seen on modelling head. Great job!

[@anthonyhernandez7799]

2033 just got this vid on my recommended

[@ChristianDaryantoL]

yes itll be better if u download as mp4 and played back via quicktime, and step frame by frame. Software is 3dsmax...8 if i remembered correctly. But u can apply same approach in any 3d software. The goal was for building easy and simple head, topology may cause issue when applied to a complex head rig.

[@tadeuvi]

Ok but you just made me argument stronger. If decide to use dyna or zspheres to build my base mesh, i ll only need to goz when my sculpting is over, when i wish to retopo, and if i goz ill just need to polydraw -> step build on my zbrush work. IF i create my base mesh on max i dont need to elaborate a full head i can just have a more generic manequin, faceless but with some extra topology on the eyes, nose, mouth and ears

[@linograndi]

We always have to stay open minded. This video is also useful because it shows a very good polygonal workflow for the head. ;)

[@pavara_vtuber]

Thanks for sharing this video, it helps me a lot on understanding how to head topology

[@ChristianDaryantoL]

i agree with u, but on tv series production with small budget (when using zbrush is another additional cost) this is way of creating model. cheers

[@tadeuvi]

I believe you! And its quite sick to be able to do that, i didnt try to be a dick on comments, its just, i know what it is to start modeling on max and i remember how hard and time consuming it was at first, i just wish i started on zbrush and just left max for retopo from begining, but anyway, i still use this technique for modeling base meshes only far less complex ones

[@EpicAwesomeCAS]

Yeah, he's using a symmetrical modeling technique available within the program. He duplicated, or mirrored the geometry and instanced it, so it would be affected the same way.

[@Raziril]

By applying further refinement you could use Sampad01's ear technique seen in his full character modeling tutorial to create a pretty good head. Also remember folks, always use your reference images!

[@fashionartnetwork3418]

loving your the style!

[@tadeuvi]

What i was saying is: modeling becomes much easier after you have scuplted because you can use your sculpt obj as a mould for your low poly model with 3ds max Freeform tools for example. But im pretty sure if you want to be a character artist you ll need to learn to sculpt, there is no way around it. Cheers

[@Vijay-wf9tz]

its very simple topology technique, thanks

[@Tiviat]

Zbrush workflow varies from artist to artist. Some use ONLY ZSpheres, some use base mesh from Maya or Max. I bet there are individuals that can even use max to create organic entities with only splines/nurbs curves. Maybe I should model a tree using splines in Max...I got some great results !!

[@yesidsabogal4542]

Hi, Christian !! I just wanted to tell you, how useful this short video is being for me. Thank you so much. I think this is a very clever approach to modeling. By the way, where did you learn that technique ? is there a good book about it? Thank you mate !! I hope you are doing great. Cheers from Colombia

[@ChristianDaryantoL]

well, good for you man! no books, just some trial and error. it provide "save" topology for basic facial movement. glad it helps! Cheers from Indonesia :D

[@yesidsabogal4542]

Thank you for sharing !!! :)

[@betterbelikeme]

really nice topology

[@tramvuong8728]

Thank you so much! I still need this one though it's old

[@sex7thoughts]

What program do you use? I would like to build a face and print it in a 3D printer, but I have no idea about modeling... Could you recommend me an easy program to use, please? Thanks a lot!

[@hrub]

Yeah, I do see your point. I'm planning on taking my low poly head model and sculpting high poly stuff on it and... stuff.

[@PolygonSquad]

We did a slow motion video using the same method...

[@ChristianDaryantoL]

awesome :D

[@PolygonSquad]

@@ChristianDaryantoL you method is great..

[@TrinityQuin]

It still help me so much although it's from 2011

[@tadeuvi]

No you didnt follow, when you create a character for a videogame, for example, and usually model the character on max and take it to zbrush to the sculpt details, or they create it all on zbrush and then bring it to max to model it there, on a low poly count, which is what i do. Either way, if you want to have a detailed character u have to sculpt, the thing is: all the detail is applied as maps, displacement, bump, normals.. so you still have a low poly model with good detail as maps

[@3deoskill]

great box modelling workflow, nice

[@ChristianDaryantoL]

thanks

[@MaherDaaloul]

Great tutorial man!!!

[@thomasanderson1416]

Very cool, I can get the topology but the dimensions are pretty hard to nail.

[@surajrenuka1242]

Its Awesome..Thanx man..I am sure I will find it helpful..:)

[@justice2493]

how did you go from box to prism? please show us

[@harakirigfx]

Every time I watch this I make sure that I have an extinguisher with me bcuz... MY MIND GETS BLOWN

[@linograndi]

That's not true. ZBrush workflow may vary. You can decide to sculpt using dynamesh, then make the retopology on your model, project the detail.... But you may even think of model your base mesh using any technique, box modeling included, import it in ZBrush and add detail using multi level sculpting. Moreover, you could start with ZSpheres, sculpt the resulting mesh, use GoZ to edit and add polygon to the mesh, go on with the sculpting in ZBrush, repeat the process....

[@Purianite]

This is very good. Though, I'd like a slower tutorial with commentary and maybe an explanation of the loops that you're supposed to have for proper rigging.

[@ARMClips]

I know about create things on zr4 brush, later pass it of 3d modeler, and make a new object based on the high mesh, that is used too to make the normal maps, but poligonal creations never will be obsolete because is ppl to know fine how to make that can spend less time to the same work, inclusive, making low poli object, with his topology in 3d modeler, and playing after in zbrush, mudbox, to get the max resolution, pixar use varius models with diferent resolutions.that depend of the use of em.

[@maxgordon3194]

does anyone knows how he does those vertex snap align? please reply and i know its 13 year old

[@etermaldream]

what tool did you use to make the head turn into a diamond sorta shape? sorry for the noob question in advance.

[@slackologist]

Did you mean the vertex chamfer at 0:17 ? i wasn't sure about that myself.

[@Mega2Sakaura]

Is there an application which I can use to get major face shape looking like this?

[@marianomdq86]

+Mega2Sakaura I don't know what software are you using. With Blender you can use the Decimate modifier, but with it you can't control too much the result. Retopology is probably the best practice for controlling the final result, but its more time-comsuming.

[@MsCarrionswarm]

Hi, what software are you using? great job btw! . :)

[@REDYSOME]

cool tutorial, dude!

[@tadeuvi]

Zbrush = Artistic sculpting, Max = topology. Sculpting a detailed head on much is harder and unecessary on max. By using step build to sculpt on the top of the zbrush object you ll never need to use box or zphere modelling again, it ll just be more accurate, topology oriented poly by poly sculpting. I honestly believe box and sphere modeling are obsolete arts, its a very cool video but new aspiring artists shouldnt worry about that, just go study anatomy, zbrush sculpting and topology

This video is quite awesome but also quite pointless, you have a lot of skill and few people can model that nice that fast. I remember starting as a 3d student and trying to model from box, sphere, by poly and all that but the truth is: when you learn zbrush, which is inevitable if you wish to pursue the career, it completely changes your workflow, all you ll need to do is understand the topology and use freeform -> step build on surface and thats it. Say goodbye to this box nonsense forever.
