How to deform ovalish object

pilou

If you want really sculpt anatomy, maybe Sketchup is not the best tool for that
of course you can use the Vertextools but...it's "old school" polygon sculpting!

Try more Sculptris, a free crazzy one !

Or if you want more elaboate body in SU use the Free Make Human and imort it inside SKetchup !

That is the method of Orgelf!

Q: When I try to rotate arms, should I rotate it outside or inside model?
I see my model's arms are not exactly in same (mirrored) position.

If it's component themselves : rotate it outside the component else all other componant (mirrored) will rotate also!

Also I tried the Cross Section tool to add a circle bellow neck from Tgi3D,

I have not this one so can't answer

Any suggestions how to correct

add some segments and move them but it's very difficult work!

About video
type sculpt face modeling in youtube

or this one

Yeah, that is exactly that case as I mention here:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=47752

That when I rotated the arms (outside of component), they were not correct (same angles), but I did not see that. Even now after correction, they are not on 100% same angles. I would like to see some plugin for situation like this.

rumcajs

You are right, I have seen this and they use mirroring function.

No need of plugin for that
Just take this who is in good position then make a "scale -1" in the direction wished!

Sure I did so. But it is rotation like in y1=60°; y2=-60°; x1=13°; x2=-13°; and so ... it is mirrored...

So when I started to rotate the arm, so I had to rotate 1st arm and then the 2nd arm. So there is result that they are not same angle. Because I did not check the angle, when I started to do it. Now it looks like it is better then it was before.

I rotated head and removed the sides because they were deformed. I try to close the head now but when I draw the circle so it does not fit. Do you have idea why and what to do with it?

Or better I should take the ovalish head first and scale it to make rounded head... But how to fix that. Sizes are 0,23x0,21m and I want 0,23x0,23. But with tape I can only change the scale with ratio 1:1...

rumcajs

True, I don't know why I did not think about that (scale one direction). It should work. I'll test tomorrow.

pilou

Scale tool by one direction ?
Draw a line with the good measure for snap on it

About the close circle in the file you post
Just draw a diameter
That close it !

rumcajs

pilou

Yes In general drawing any line who close an "hole plane surface" close this surface an make it "physic"

I have not this tool
what is the meaning of S, H, G, W, E ,L, C ?

pilou

Thx

rumcajs

I have this as point of start. I have changed the position of components (was incorrect) and height (radius is 23 cm , 0,23m ), I will rescale when the head will be done.

Well, here we go. I will start according the video frames.

I need to create the blue sphere, but I cannot success. The best result I got is the sphere on right! I cannot to get the edges to be exactly on the axis. I created 12x16 sphere, but as you can see, there is always one extra face on the axis! Please help.

The face modeling in SU looks prety simple, if you go according the frames from the video.

Pilou, that is the Pen Tool + as Gayieus recommended to me. See your link before. It is after the post when I said, I head dream about SU, that I was drawing soft lines directly. The shortcuts are S like soften edges, H like hidden edges... Guide, Weld, Edge, Line ...

In the last version of the file I uploded, there is the change. I did deleted the middle strip, and from the half I made component. According the frames from video, this fits:
