KevinCoyle Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 I've decided my next project will be a complete obi-wan model pack containing every version of obi-wan for the Star Wars movies. The reasons I'm doing this even though there are already obi-wan models out there is because #1, I was disappointed that jolts' very accurate obi-wan models were not going to be released, and #2, I wanted to do a main star wars character and really try to make the face as accurate as possible as kind of as a challenge to myself. The choice came down to do Leia or obi-wan, I've decided to do both but chose the obi-wan pack to do first for the simple reason that obi-wan reference pictures were easier to find. When finished, this pack will contain robed and unrobed versions of episode 1 & 2 obi-wans, version 2 of my old Ben model and a "ghost" Ben Kenobi. Here is a screenshot on what I have so far of obi-wan face. Any comments, constructive critism and helpful suggestions are welcome.

wassup Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Nice work!! As for that screenshot, I think the forehead should be a tiny weeny flatter and the nose a big more rounded. Otherwise, good start!! Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padawan_7 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Good start KevinCoyle. The one thing I could suggest is to make Obi's face a bit broader. Right now, in comparison to the reference photo, the model's face is too thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomad Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 That's great news! Really nice looking! Once again it looks like you've captured a good resemblence. How much deleting and reworking do you do to get the faces at this stage? I figure alot, but I was just wondering how quickly you reach a facial resemblence like that (and Old Ben's). Thanks again for your awesome contributions -nomad MTFBWY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinCoyle Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 To Hellfire Jedi: I've sent you an authorization request over icq. To nomad: It actually doesn't take that long. I've worked out a method thats pretty quick and usually comes out fairly accurate. It's based on this guy's .tutorial on modeling heads with polys in max 4. The tutorial is directed toward making high-poly heads but I've adapted the process for low poly heads (basically less detail on the ears and the absence of meshsmooth). If you can find a straight-on portrait and side profile of the face, it usually comes out pretty good. Using editable polys instead of editable mesh makes the model more flexible. I usually don't have to delete anything because I can't get it to look right, most flaws I run in to can be repaired. I started the model last night and it took about 2 hours to get it to the point of the first screenshot I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldritch Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Originally posted by kinggungan I know you mentioned Leia, but how about Plo Koon next? Plo Koon has already been worked on. Have a little patience, it should be out soon. Work looks good so far, Kevin. Nice to see you back modeling after a little break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinCoyle Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Here is another update. I fixed the width of the head behind the ears and made some adjustments to the jawline. I also began a very early skin to help work out the details, it currently lacks any significant detail though. obiwanheadearlyskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldritch Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 The hair in that comparison picture is a little "poofier" when compared to the model. Try adding a bit more volume to the hair in the model. It's coming along great, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinCoyle Posted March 8, 2003 Author Share Posted March 8, 2003 Another update. I thickened the chin a bit and made the hair little poofer, though it still isn't quite right yet. Also added more detail to the skin and eyes. obiwanhead7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
