I see you made the shoulders smaller, which fixed the proportions in the arms.  I didn't say anything about the legs because I thought just as Reason did and figured it was just part of the style…but it looks like the satorius (muscle that connects at the hip and wraps around the knee and back into the front of the calf) isn't there, it'd also help define the inner thigh area. 

It's looking good…  but if you're going to show the model from a different angle, please leave it at that angle instead of tilting it for just a second and then back in place…I wasn't able to really see what you were trying to show off with it moving that fast.

I actually like it somewhere in the middle where you get some good vascularity but still look smooth (and the face isn't super sunk in)…but I do like the ultra ripped look (except for the face)…  the complete off season look is a complete turn off for me…except for Gina Davis.

Not too shabby!  It looks like the biceps end just as the delts do, but that could be because you havn't gotten out the rest of the arm.

Bah….didn't know that fileshare's free upload was only 10 downloads x_x

I wasn't able to catch any of the renders….and I much like seeing progress pics/vids.

Mediafire used to be good at file hosting

megaupload or fileshare to name a couple places

Looks like Charisma Carpenter with muscles.  If it is a morph it's very well done, because the lighting is accurate and there is no distortion.  So I'm not sure it's a morph.

I agree…it's really good if it's a morph.

But morph or not…she's hot!

I've looked at Polyboost before and I do want it, tho I can't get the latest…but of the version I CAN get, it'd be a big help….problem is, it costs moneys I just don't have.  🙁

There's probably no harm in starting again a few times. I'm sure each time will be easier and you will be better able to refine the forms you are modeling. Sort of like a traditional artist would do a rough draft first. However, have you heard of a process called retopology. It's where you create your new mesh and it automatically gets wrapped to your old mesh. If it's just that you want to add more details in certain areas, you could just sub-divide selected faces.

By the way, I'm still keen to see side and front views of your model, if that's cool.

I've never retopologized, but I know the theory.  It's not just adding more detail but the flow of the polygons that I'm having some troubles with.

Well…as I said before, I've had to completely redo part of her head…  and I also added some more….  I should be able to work on her a bit more tomorrow…

I'm considering redoing everything tho and having a higher resolution base mesh for more control.  I'll continue on this model to see how far I can get and learn on the way….

Anyway…here she is now:

nice work again, but how do we get the full benefit of the stereoscopic images?
