Articulation – modeling the human body

Posted on by

BodyCompSmallDo you need help with modeling and animating a human character? Then take a look at this generic tutorial on ‘Articulation’.

The site focuses on how vertices of a character’s mesh should move when body parts are animated. It demonstrates the importance of the placement of vertices, and the importance of retaining volume in animation.

      Interesting. One of my own main difficulties is with weight painting…

      ROUBAL: while you’re in weight paint press F for precision :)

      Some links are wrong, int this page ” http://www.hippydrome.com/Modeling.html ” in the part about the torso, exist two images that pointed to …Torso Three Quarters… in ” http://www.hippydrome.com/ModelingTorsoThreeQuarters.html “

      It seems like a Work In Progress to me. A good start but very incomplete yet.

      God it appeared here. I had found it a long, long time ago. High poly though, don’t you think? PigBrain (http://www.pig-brain.com/tutorials.htm) has a similar article but with less polygons. Primarily for game characters. Maybe someone would find it helpful?
