After many long months of waiting, I'm happy to announce the the new training DVD for modeling the female body is now shipping! This is the companion DVD to my previous "Modeling the Female Head" DVD and starts where it left off.

Along with the announcement of the DVDs shipping, I would also like to mention that each of the DVDs, the female head and female body, are now available for immediate download as well; rather than having to wait for a physical copy to arrive.

Shadowdragon — 2007-08-14T05:30:37+00:00

Hello everyone,

In anticipation of my upcoming DVD on modeling the female body, I have released a free video tutorial on modeling a lowpoly character in Blender. The tutorial focuses on all the necessary aspects of lowpoly modeling to make the viewer comfortable enough in the process to begin creating their own characters.
Several of the topics covered in the tutorials are: edgeloops, triangles, deformation, and more.

The tutorial has a running time of approximately 50 mins and a resolution of 1024 x 768. The file size is 191 megabytes. Several screenshots from the tutorial have been attached below as a preview

Please visit www.montagestudio.org/Site/Tutorials.html for the download link.

Training DVD: Modeling the Female Head in Blender

Hello everyone,

I'd just like to let everyone know that I've released a training dvd for modeling the female head in Blender to the public. The dvd takes the viewer through the process of modeling a highpoly female head in Blender from start to finish. The dvd focuses on the use of edgeloops, references, accurate anatomy, and more. There's just over 2:30 hours of footage with sections for each area of the face (e.g. the eyes, nose, mouth, etc).

More info on the dvd can be found on my site at: http://montagestudio.org/Site/DVDs.html

A review of the dvd can also be found here: http://www.blendernation.com/2007/03/05/review-modeling-the-female-head/

The dvd runs for an even $30.00 US.

Thanks for looking :)
