the longer our focal length is, the better reference photographs we have.īecause the longer our focal length is, the closer our view angle to orthographic view ( like front view, side view which we base our modeling on). we should also take into account of our camera ‘s focal length. If we are going to take photograph of a real person for references, It is important to take photograph at right angle or else our model will look wrong and we will have to spend considerable amount of time to adjust it. This will consume a lot of time tweaking back and forth, we feel lost and our reference images didn’t come in handy as we expected.
Other case is that our model look exactly fit in orthographic view but in perspective view it doesn’t look alike the person in reference. If we under estimate or make mistake in this process, we might face serious problems later when the model fit with the front view reference image but does not fit at all with the side view. The most important thing in this part is the accuracy and quality of reference photographs, concept arts. The way we set up references and concept arts have direct influences on our models later.
Some master (yes, if there is any) don’t require any reference to work their way up to the final product, but practical-wise and production-wise it is highly recommended or even a must that we must base our work on references, whether it is concept art or photograph…etc. This is critical important for almost anything not just realistic head modeling. One fundamental thing you should always aware of is that: always doing research/ planning before digging into doing any actual work.
