Day 2 aka I have no idea what I’m doing.
My first priority is to learn how to make human models, so I can actually start making some of the first scenes of the game. As a person who is not very skilled in the area of art, it is coming quite difficult. At first I tried to make few models of the head, just out of my imagination, but as you can expect - it didn’t go quite well. Then my boyfriend (also known as Rory), who had a bit more dealings with Maya, advised to use a reference pic. That did help a bit, but still out of 10 heads, 9 looked like Picasso's paintings covered with spaghetti. One turned out quite alright, so that’s awesome!
Frustrated I finally found some useful tutorials on how to make human head, which is helpful, but looks quite difficult. The worst part of it is that I need pictures of human face from the front and the side. Fortunately or not, on my disposition I have two faces - mine and Rory’s. Even tho that’s a good start, I still need more faces, to be able to work with and google is not proving itself useful.
Anybody wants to send me a picture of their face? Anyone? I feel like this should be the new pick up line for 2016 - Hey baby, your face is so pretty, I just want to make a mesh out of it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
So far it is not going great, but tomorrow I will have to ask some of my friends in a totally non creepy way, to send me pics of their heads, so I have something to train on.
