Luxology Human Eye Training Video

In this project Andy Brown uses modo 401 to investigate a method of modeling a human eye and its surrounding facial structures. In the process the video tutorial utilizes many aspects of modo, from polygon modeling, UVing and hair to sculpting, painting and rendering.

Included with these videos are all the supporting files necessary to complete the project, including reference images and scene files of the eye model at different stages of completion. These scene files let you jump into the video at any specific point without having completed all previous steps.

Detailed Descriptions of Videos in Album

Video Part 01

In this video we focus on building all of the geometry that underpins the scene. This involves an investigation into the anatomy of the eye and how to construct the topology of its surrounding facial structures. We then use a combination of deformers and sculpting to shape it. We finish off by sculpting hair guides to control the application of eyelashes and eyebrows.

Video Part 02

Modeling is about much more than positioning polygons and in this video we light, paint and texture the model. We paint the eyeball using image ink and the skin using various preset brushes and vector displacement. We render and take the resulting image into Photoshop for some post production.
