week03 Head modeling

This week I focus on head molding, and I did the research on “The Modeling & Animation Handbook” which is a handbook of Autodesk Maya 2009.

My modeling is from a cube as following: Width divisions to 6, Height division to 6, and depth division to 3.During the molding, I found that Insert edge loop tool; Split edges are the very important tool. When extrude the eyes, brows, nose and mouth we need those tool to insert new edges.   

But I got a problem about Mirror instance in Edit—Duplicate special. When I delete half head and duplicate is ok. But when I extrude the nose and mouth, there is still have a surface in the middle part, and after press “3”, the head is looks so strange.

I also got the online tutorial, the address is that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d0viMxjD_E.
