Learn where to place loops when creating 3D characters #topology #3dmodeling #3dmodelingtutorial

Learn where to place loops when creating 3D characters. This will make retopology much easier and faster, and give you better deformation.

Our episodes are also available on all major podcast services!

the thought of modelling that ear gives me shivers

Henning - I'm so proud of you man. From Modo to a full length trainer in a variety of teaching methods.

I say that the black masks in “The Incredibles” were just extruded loops. LOL

What I always recommend to people to understand why these loops are placed like this is to try to rig a face you created! Grab one of available "auto-riggers" that have facial rig option (like Rigify for Blender or Advanced Skeleton/mGear for Maya) and try to place joints and weight paint your own creation - seeing how the deformation works and how proper loop placement can make some things like closing an eye properly impossible is (pun not intended) an eye-opening experience. You don't need to do it perfectly, compatible with pipeline or anything, just playing around with it is awesome :)

Please upload a version with fewer vertices.

That model has a striking resemblance to someone...👀😏😎

[giambrew]

Are you saying to start with those highlighted pieces or to add edge loops

[levitabusman]

I don’t understand the radial loops you say when drawing lines out the mouth

[Neloch]

Its lowkey fucked up to get tutorials while scrolling, its like the art gods know im procrastinating lol

[da_cat]

Considering im making low poly stuff for my indie stuff i just throw topology in the easiest fastest and most convenient way, i don't have time for this loopty doopty stuff. Don't really need it anyways.
