Finally, some blogging

Well i got the internet at home now, as of Last night, only a month after moving into the house :P

So anyway, my progress up till now...

Well i managed to get the head model pretty much finished, I'm having to go back and redo the lips because i didn't like them, and my first attempt at neck/shoulders was lost due to max crashing, but the current progress on that can be seen below.
As you can see it looks a little odd, but with the new lips there will be a little tweaking in the face.


I also started looking at modeling a body since we can't exactly have a load of disembodied heads staging the battle of trafalgar, and after a couple of different methods i ended up modeling it starting from the torso being made from a cylinder. Since clothes are something that will be different depending on what side the people are on, as well as their rank/job, i've left it without, though obviously i drew a line at the amount of detail the model required.
Unfortunatly modeling hands is giving me some trouble, so hopefully i'll be able to get that sorted out for next week, as well as modifying the figure for different body types and sizes, so that we have some variation in the background characters. I'll need to alter it for a child's frame too of course for the head that i made myself.
