Thanks to Jim Charter for the incentive to try Wings3D. I tried several 
modellers before, and never got any decent result. But reading the shoes 
tutorial from Jim it seemed like a simple and powerful tool, so I had to 
try it out. I'm still surprised by the good and quick results.

The head was modelled in some hours and the exported to POV. The tricky 
texture with different finishes and faked subsurface scatering took some 
more hours.

There are some previous images at http://www.ignorancia.org/g_wip.php

   No, except for the bald head and blue eyes. :)

   Actually, I did not use a mirror, nor any photo or pic as reference, 
so it must be my unconscious idea of a head. In fact, I think he 
resembles someone, but I can't say for sure.

   Thanks, I'm also surprised...

Hi,

Nice to see you've jumped on the Wings3D bandowagon. I'm there, too.

This head is scary... :-)  I'm trying to model one, too. But it's going to
take some time until I'm satisfied. I found a great tutorial on
http://www.secondreality.ch/

Regards,
Hugo

me too! modelling plantlife as practice. i agree, the head is kind of
creepy. I think because it looks alive and alert, but is sitting on a table
stop. nice modelling, Jaime.

   I think this is going to be a "revolution" for my scenes. I plan to 
use it for all these objects that I usually discard due to the work they 
would involve with CSG or isosurfaces.

   Well, I think Ross has it right: it's the combination of the forced 
expresion (casual) and the fact that he is looking at the camera (intended).

   I just discoverd the tutorial at secondreality, and it's very 
diferent to my aproach, more complex. I will try it for the next head...

I was just watching "the Maltese Falcon", and if you give him some hair he'd
look a lot like Peter Lorre.

Looks great!

Really!  Now I am wondering which tut you did use.  The Wiro tut was the 
one I depended on; I virtually memorized the thing.  It was behind all 
the African Masks, and early textured busts.  Though the earliest try, 
the portrait of Carson McCuller came before all that.  I actually based 
that one on a rather dense sphere.  Very bad idea.

   Hmmm... none! I just had a look at some of them without carefully 
reading the step-by-step instructions... then I started from a smoothed 
cube, using different techniques by trial & error. I do almost all the 
work on that first step, getting a low-poly head with very exaggerated 
characteristics. Then I smooth it and  retouch some details here and 
there, smoothing again for the final exported mesh.

   I started at first from a sphere too, but soon I noticed it was not 
working. This is when I looked at some tutorials to see what shape I 
should start with.
