This DVD takes you through
the artistic and technical process of sculpting a human head
from a polygonal cube. In this DVD, Kevin Hudson shows why
character modelers are moving away from Nurbs modeling and
toward Polygon/Subdivision surface modeling, which allows more
freedom to localize detail and work with texture. Follow along
as Kevin considers and sculpts the various features of the
face - nose, mouth, eyelids and ears - as he transforms this
simple structure into something as complex as the human head.
3 hours of lecture.
