  Mr Potato Head

  Posted by Tony Barone on December 3, 2008 at 7:25 pm

  Trying to model a “Mr Potato Head”, Ive got the shape right, but can’t figure out how to get the “smile” modeled into the overall shape.

  I’ve included links to my scans of the actual object and my model.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Got it. You’re going to have add a considerable amount of geometry to support the mouth shape. As I’m sure you’ve discovered, with the ultr-light mesh you have now, adding any local detail will distort the overall shape in a big way.

  What you need is something closer to a head mesh such as you’ll see in the character models supplied with Cinema. Some of the cartoony ones included in the Mocca library might be a good starting point.
