great work!! i love it

Very nice likeness.
This is awesome already - great likeness!
I can’t wait until you do
Trinity from Matrix - can you start with her body first!
Seriously though, it looks pretty much spot on - no crits yet.
Look forward to seeing more updates.
looks great,
i love the nice subbtle skin texture.
Nicely done. Two questions: Can we see more views? And does his ear really look like that (everything else is so dead on, I have to assume the ear is correct, but it looks strange compared to a standard ear). Over all- great.
Craig
Having looked at quite a few ears myself, Id have to say those are fairly standard ears. BUT I am not an anatomical expert, and I would guess that many members of this forum are, so take what I saw with a grain of salt.
The pics above appear to be straight-on shots with no perspective (I dont know the correct term for that). When you look with your eyes at a person’s face that close, you are seeing it in perspective, which is a totally different view than what you would get if you were a mile off looking through a powerful telescope… or through a simple “front view” in a typical 3d app such as MAX.
Excuse my rambling, btw… I should have gone to bed a long time ago
Hey- thank you for replying to my questions. To clarify- the tops of the ears seem to come to a point- like an elf or a bat. This might actually be how his ears are- ears are funny things and often what is real can look strange. If, however, you didn’t look at his ears from a photo, and just wanted a “standard” ear… I’m not sure if I agree that they should come to a point. I understand that this is an orthagraphic view- My hope is that you will post images from other angles, because I think they would look interesting. Still- ear edits or no ear edits- I think you have done a fine job. One look- and you know who it is.
Craig
Very cool likeness. you said your going to do the rest of him, will he be in a typical matrix pose? & if comic_graig hadn’t mentiond his ears I wouldn’t of noticed but after reading his post I couldn’t stop looking at them. They seem ok to me. Looking forward to the updates.
Here are some other shot… for the ears… with the reference I have… I think they are done like that… if you have great pics showing the ears… you can gave it to me
Looks great! We should start a Glamour-page showing all the celebrity heads made so far.
One more thing: when Keanu’s finished: can you give him a facial expression? Just want to see what that looks like for once! :lol:
Now I see what you are seeing, comic_craig. The upper edge of the helix protrudes slightly in the profile. On most people, the superior crux of the anthelix (large fork of the “Y” shape) tends to “push” the helix out a bit where it meets. Depending on the conchal angle, there will be a view angle where this extended edge of the helix can show up as a point, since the adjacent portions of the helix are pulled away from the profile. Big guns’s model-whether or not accurate in this particular sense-has the conchal angle set to where this “tip” happens to be in the front-on orthographic profile.
If I seem to be making a strangely big deal out of this, then I apologize… its just that the best head Ive ever done shows the ears in the same way, and I had to dig out my anatomy book to check myself
Hey there Big guns! I don’t feel like I should critique your work since it is some of the best character modelling I have seen, however… I will throw in my 2 cents and hope I don’t get slapped.
Mr Reaves ethnic origins are a mix of (I beleive) western (Canadian) and Japanese. With that said I think that his profile needs to be flatter. I am refering to the image you posted with the hair modelled, and the second from the right image. I just looks TOO western for my memory of him. Most east Asians have very flat faces from the side (no offence intended).
Just my thoughts… I hope they help.
Great modelling… you are a great inspireation.

Hello,
I’ve just discovered this wonderful 3D model of Keanu Reeves! We are directors and working on a film “Kaydara” (check out our trailer and our short based on the matrix world film on www.ratrixhero.com). We need to create the face of Keanu Reeves and would like to have a 3d model as good as big gun’s . Would you like to contribute to our film? if yes please contact us at : [email protected] Thank you very Much!!
This is very very impressive, so far amazing, in my pov just the nose could be a little more detailed, but the likenss is amazing, great job!
