Too many useless tris, if he stuck to quads he woudn't have had that awful blocky scalp, lips and eyes are a total mess too, that person very clearly didn't know what he was doing and should've looked up examples of face topology beforehand, good head topo has been posted in this thread earlier

Considering the age of that image, it's not exactly fair to make a judgement like that about the topology. People back then didn't care quite so much about perfect topology, and you can tell this by looking at Pixar models from back in the day, and even though the internet had made leaps and bounds from what it was back in 2000, or even 1990, it still wasn't what it is today where you can google something and find the right answer for nealy everything. That guy was working with the information he had, within the standards the people back in the day had, and going and saying it's bad because of your topology autism even though it looks like a human head tells me you don't care about the actual artistic merits of 3dcg. That's a lot harder to get right than some stupid topology bullshit, especially on a part of the model that won't be deforming much.

That's fair anon, I only saw the post about the image being old as fuck after I posted, accept my concession

[Anonymous No.975304]

>>975276
First tris are not a fucking demon that comes to kill your 3d model.
That mesh is completely ok and it was made to hold that shape without any displacement and normal mapping, we did it that way a long time ago, if you want to compare it to a mesh that is specifically dense with quad mesh and made for displacement yes, but that thing didn't work like that back then, that's poly modelled not a retopology of a sculpture with baked normals. You can clearly see that all those polygons are to shape the fat bone and muscles of the face.
I assure you that you couldn't do that face like he did even if your Life depended on it.
That image is that famous for a reason anon.

Am I living in the most retarded of times?
What tutorials they should watch? They were the ones who teach a generation of 3d modellers.
You are just a stupid kid who thinks he knows more than he knows because he makes heads every day over the 2 months he started working with blender.

Subsurf
You can see the same in blender if you add a subsurf modifier, enable optimal display and crank up the iterations to 3 or 4

[Anonymous No.975394]

>>975385
That's because some people like the jannies are not straight and so their polygons come out all bendy and stuff.

why are you even here?

[Anonymous No.975473]

>>975459
I think that's just a Blender thing. In Blender, the subdivision modifier is called the "Subdivision Surface" modifier and people like to abbreviate it as the "Subsurf" modifier, even though it's easy to confuse people into thinking that subsurface scattering is what's being referred to.

[Anonymous No.975475]

>>975459
>>975473
Exactly it's a blender thing subsurf is blender's subdiv
Subsurface scattering is SSS

[Anonymous No.975545]

>>975459
Yeah it's blender terminology. That abbreviation is even used in the code
https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.types.SubsurfModifier.html
Even if it wasn't, obviously no one could confuse those two completely unrelated things.

After the first pass of subdivision it's all quads, so even the apparent 'ngons' one might perceive at the edge of the face don't break any topology laws

[Anonymous No.976553]

>>976544
That art-style came and went real fast, I think it was the fact it became technically possible to have high frequency detail
everywhere due to normal maps so artists just started bukkake'ing details across all surfaces to add value to their creations.

At some point someone realized how we've been able to make unlimited detail for a long time in the real world
yet nobody this side of India ever goes for that aesthetic as it looks super gaudy to be that ornamental.

To western audiences good design will be deliberate design, not one that looks filled in with unnecessary detail for the sake of being filled in with detail.

I wish there were more modern tutorials on how to subd like this. I feel like a lot of people jump straight to sculpting and retopo for things that absolutely don't need it just because wrinkles are involved and most of what you find online now says wrinkles = sculpt.

In all of my pursuits, 3D modeling, 2D drawing, writing, I'm more inspired by seeing people worse than me than people better than me. Because I may never reach the latter person's skill level, but if the former can find success then I know I could too.

[Anonymous No.983235]

>>975941
you do realize it hasn't been a bottleneck because people are still optimizing their models to reduce polycount.
if everyone said fuck it and go high poly it would absolutely be a problem
