This five and a half hour long project in organic modeling covers mainly a polygon-subdiv workflow with some NURBS surfaces being used to create the initial shapes. We go through some of the basic techniques used when editing NURBS which can be very useful when you're creating the initial base mesh for an organic character. The mesh is then converted to polygons to add more detail using many of the different polygon modeling tools such as sculpt geometry to round out shapes and allow for smoother curves, extrude to add geometry in different areas and split polygon tool to allow for a nice topology maintaining quads throughout our model. The different body parts are connected through booleans operations which can sometimes cause problems when modeling, so in this video we take a look at how to prepare for and clean up after using booleans to get the best results. Converting some of the geometry into subdiv's allows us to work on a high-resolution mesh and add more detail to areas such as the hands and joints. All scene files are included with this project, you'll find them in part 1. Part 1: Creating an organic base mesh Basic NURBS modeling techniques with primitives - inserting isopams, adjusting hulls and CV's, detaching surfaces Converting NURBS to polygons Combining geometry with booleans and cleaning up after a booleans operation Polygon modeling tools -cut faces, split poly, sculpt geometry, extrude face/edge Adding resolution around joints to make the model more suitable for rigging Planning geometry for good topology on the model Converting between polygons and subdiv's to work on both a low/ high-resolution mesh Getting a good edge flow through your organic model Part 2: Adding detail to the base mesh - Body Sculpting out muscle structure for arms and body Shaping model to add muscle detail and get the overall shape by working on sub d geometry, sculpt geo tool to get the edges right Creating hands from polygon cubes Part 3: Adding detail to the base mesh - Head Creating eyes Making the ears from extruded geometry Working on the mouth area - adding a base for the gums and sculpting out teeth Fine tweaking to get the final muscle tone Using body geomety to get the base shape by using a duplicates of the mesh Part 4: Creating Armour Making the belt, bracers and back plate armour Drawing curves on a live object and lofting surfaces Polygon modeling tools Buy the Creature Modelling and Texturing Together.
