Midterm Stuff

My main focus for the class so far has been the study of human anatomy.  I spent the first two weeks of the class studying the major muscle groups in the body. This entailed learning the different pieces and how all of the muscles flow together. The major insertion points, along with a few protruding sections of bone, all end up being the main landmarks on the body. 

 

Once I completed the anatomy videos I took this knowledge, combined it with a set of reference photos, and set out in Mudbox to learn the anatomy first hand. I started with a low poly base mesh in maya. My end goal for this project, as stated in my proposal, is to create a portfolio worthy 3d figure study. The project is very near complete. I still need to pose the model as well as complete the texture. Photos of my current progress along with a turntable are posted below.
