Modeling Assignment 2

For this assignment, I modeled my brother Joe's head. I started with a cube and worked from there. In the head geometry (without the hat) there are 752 polygon faces. With the hat, there are 847 polygons.

Modeling Assignment 1

For this assignment, I modeled a head using only simple geometric shapes. I modeled the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, and here are the reference images I used.




Below are the images of the face I modeled.

The following is a list of parameters that might be changed to make different faces:

• Width & height of nose
• Radius of the eyes
• Distance between the eyes
• Distance from front of head to ears in a side view
• Width & height of the whole head
• Distance of mouth from nose
• Width of eyebrows
• Distance from eyes to eyebrows
• Height & width of cheeks
