I have found old links pointing to hopefully very good quality anatomy meshes available for free download at Freedom of Teach. can’t find those models now. So if any of you downloaded the models a while back, could you please upload them somewhere. I am working on an anatomy study and think the mesh could be very useful for seeing topology and edge flow. Thx in advance.
I think I know the ones you mean,
If I’m not mistaken it was the anatomy construction, block out and muscle structure.
If these sound like the ones you are after I can tell you although fine sculpts not usefull for topology.
There are however some good meshes available at the foundry downloads for mari. Not to mention the numerous meshes available here at ZBC.
Basically you ain’t going to find perfect topology anywhere. Thats because edgeflow is based on need, if it needs to deform in a particular way than build it to.
Think of a generic topo workflow as such
1.build a simple base out of all quads, hmm much like zsphere meshes.
2.Then go into detail, create edgeflow to suit the forms, ontop of the quad structure (which is important).
3.Step back from your forms and look/test how those will deform, then change to suit deformation.
- The hard part, unify all your areas of deformation whilst maintaining that all deformations are localised (which is why its best to build off a clean quad struture).
The more you work like this the easier it is to edit an area of your mesh while not affecting the rest.
good luck
