Amapi.net is now pointing to eovia3d.net! An english translation of Totyo's excellent face modeling tutorial is now available here. This tutorial covers some low-polygon modeling
techniques,
facet-by-facet creation with the Facet Extraction tool, and the Ruled
Surface
too. Also check www.amapi.net |
Coming soon. NOT! Ready for more practical modeling? Using the techniques from Totyo's tutorial above, and taking advantage of a new tool in Amapi 6.1, learn how to make this face. It took just about one hour to make it.
