Modeling Head and Neck in 3DS MAX
Polygons to Forehead
Create 10 new polygons by copying edges according to picture 1. A hole will be left to the location of the ear at this stage. The ear is modeled and attached to the model later as a separate object because of its complexity.
Modeling the Side of the Head
Create 12 new polygons by copying edges according to picture 2. Remember to use Editable Poly's Target Weld when necessary.
Modeling the Back of the Head
Create 20 new polygons to the back of the head by copying edges according to picture 3. Remember to use Editable Poly's Target Weld when necessary.
3D Modeling of the Neck
Create 6 new polygons to the neck by copying edges and place them according to picture 4. Remember to use Editable Poly's Target Weld when necessary.
Complete 3D Model of the Head
3D model of the head is now complete besides the ear. This is a good stage to fix characteristics of the head if necessary. Finalizing the forms of the head is easier now that the model is complete. The model should look like approximately like in picture 5.
