I’m putting a basic head sculpting txt file on because I’m no good at tutorials. I hope it will help people who have problems with modelling to perhaps abort the script and try to develop the head from any point they chose to take it from. Perhaps the best way to use it would be to start at an earlier point each time. The head and hair is not perfected, as I didn’t think any one would have the time to sit through that length of script. I’m not the quickest modeller, and those who have seen my models on the Community Forum might not have realised that some of the military figures took me 2 weeks at 8 - 10hrs a day. The professional sculptor that helped me in my early stages told me “It takes as long as it takes; if it’s speed you want then unless you’re one of the few that can turn out good work at speed, then you’re most likely to sacrifice quality“.
If I need speed in computer graphics for commercial purposes then I can resort to Poser, which has two useful purposes - one that I have just mentioned, and the other for people who can’t sculpt human figures - they can bring them into ZBrush and convert them to their requirements. In fact, if I do use Poser figures I model the clothing in ZBrush. In the early stages when using ZBrush I mostly used draw when modelling. Although it’s quicker I wasn’t getting the results I desired, pushing and pulling was closer to my work with modelling materials, so I now use that method most of the time. Each person will develop the best method for them, and when you’ve watched this text you may find my method slow and tiresome. Thanks to Stonecutter’s suggestion, I now set divide at maximum which eradicates most of the fold problems I was having.
I don’t know whether its txt length, but I have had problems in the past with the sphere disappearing and just two red dots whizzing round on screen when played back , hopefully that won’t happen with this txt. If this is any use to people and I get sufficient feedback, I could do some other anatomical txt.
