( )misstux October 28th
Normally I don’t comment, but I need to support you by commenting
I always searched for a complete tutorial like this!
It’s made to understand each part very easy.
A very big THANKS from me.
Btw: Between the ending of the second and the beginning of the third video, the modelling of the hands is missing. I would love to see this part. I hope you have recorded it as well.

The hand vid must have got lost in the transfer, but not to worry…it has been found and posted at the end or day 1! Enjoy:)

very very great tutorial ……Thanks

You folks have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for a tutorial like this. I’ve been trying to model anime faces/heads for ages, and the eyes & nose have always given me trouble. The nose looks a wee bit blunt, but I guess that’s a matter of opinion, and can easily be remedied by a bit of tweaking. Can’t wait for the texturing bit (I’m horrible at texturing)!

What happened to Day 3? I get a 404 Error when I try to go to that page.

I found the last part (UV Textures), but I’ll let Karan post the details here. It makes for good viewing. Thank you, Karan for the work you’ve put in. It’ll be pretty worthwhile to a lot of budding CG novices.
Thanks.

I also get an error when trying to access Day3. Help!
( )Aetheus November 3rd
Day 3 gives me a 404 too. Maybe I’ll try Googling for Day 3, if its already out.
( )Kaleb Aylsworth November 3rd
Sorry about that guys! Day 3 actually hasn’t posted to the site yet (will be tomorrow!). In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have added the link until AFTER it was online. My bad:I
