Modelling Head Reference Plates

The first stage for creating my head using 3DS max involves taking pictures of both the front and the side view of my head. Using the tools available in Adobe Photoshop the pictures can then be manipulated as to correctly line up facial features from the front view to the side view, for example lining up the eyes, nose and mouth from the front to the side view.


To check that these are lined up correctly the ruler tool can be used as shown below:


This shows the main facial features lining up with one another.


The next stage to this is to draw lines using the paint brush tool, showing where curves and lines on the face will be. This is so a map of the face can be created and placed in 3DS max. These are reference plates to show details of the face.

This shows the basic line features of the face, such as where the eye, mouth goes etc.
