Building a Charcter Profile

First i took pictures to make a character profile, one from the front and one from the side. Once imported into Photoshop i created lines on the photos to make up the polygons in max later.

When making a character profile for the first time I realised how difficult it was compared to the tutorial we were shown. When creating the lines on the face in Photoshop it was very difficult to create smooth lines. It was also difficult not to end up with straight lines or triangles withing the nodes of the character. The different colour lines were created on separate layers to make the line easier to erase or change.

Now I have had a go on someones profile I am going to take a picture of myself and create my profile to made into a character. I will create this profile using the same technique as the first profile created in Friday's tutorial.

I have also been researching the battle of Trafalgar. From this research i plan to create a lifestyle board and gather further knowledge into the main events during the battle of Trafalgar. These events could be included in the storyboarding of the battle.
