      Hey everyone,

      I haven't been here in a loooong while. Actually, I haven't used sketchup at all in a long while. Well, I thought I'd make my comeback worth it, and decided to try modeling human figures.

      I started out with the female figure because it's smoother and thus easier, and here's what I got:

      girl.jpg

      girl2.jpg

      It's modeled entirely in sketchup, and rendered in kerkythea. I know the render's not much, I'm an awful renderer.

      The face gave me a really hard time, but I think I managed it. What I can't seem to get right is the hair. Anyone know a good tutorial for that?

        Ooookay...

        I know I'm not that good, but I was expecting at least a comment?? 😞

        At least tell me how I can improve it or where I went wrong..

        Thanks

            Hi Justry,

            That's very impressive modeling. I wouldn't know where to start with such complex shape.

            But they do say women are difficult to understand 🤣

            I apologise to all female (and male) members for such a lame joke but i couldn't resist

              Sorry for not replying sooner, I saw this post and put three hairstyles together for you to use, they are pretty high poly, but will work great, just texture the mesh as you feel.

              If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                Nice model justry.
                It would be nice if it was a posable figure but I think it would be very hard to do in sketchup.
                Did you try to use the new 'sculpt tools' plugin for adding a bit more detail?

                  Wow, thanks everyone!!

                  Uh, I used subdivide and smooth mostly, here's a picture of the original mesh (drawn by hand) before subdividing:

                  The whole mesh:
                  mesh.jpg

                  The face:
                  face.jpg

                  As for posing, it can be posed, whether by posing the mesh before subdivision, or using fredo6's fredoscale plugin (cool plugin by the way). Here's an example:

                  pose.jpg

                  Thanks for the hairstyles solo, they're awesome! I want to know how you make them (if it's ok 😄 )? I'll try them on for a render and get back with my results!

                  I'll also check out the 'sculpt tools' plugin, I only found about it just now, thanks kwist!
