MODEL PROCESS

I was having trouble with the head and Henry suggested that I use a premade head and manipulate it. I did this , only one half and then mirrored it to create Riley’s head.

Owen mentioned that the head looked a bit too big so I made her head smaller.

FIXED IT

Owen showed me that there were some issues with the models faces and non deformer manifolds and showed me how to fix it, I went ahead in that class to fix them

I had problems with the model not freezing the transformations until Henry took a look at it and noticed that some parts were on keyframes, which was a bit silly of me. we went through and took all the keyframes off and fixed that issue. Instead of trying to fix the original face for the model,I decided to retop the old head to create a better foundation. I ran it by Henry and he said it would work.

I went ahead and changed her back hair as it was very messy and had a lot of problems, I separated it into 3 spikes rather than one plane.

Uving this model at home was a bit of a pain as it seems to be different depending on the maya(?) I decided to wait and do it in class the next day. Which turned out to be a good idea as it was much easier to work with and a lot of problems my home Maya had weren’t in the schools one.
