FIG. 8.38
The current head model.
H ead and Jaw
We have the main areas of the face in place, so in this section we will clean up
the rest of her head and optimize some areas as we go. Again, while we do this
we should also keep reshaping her face to get the look and style we are after.
Let's begin with some optimization, and remove one of the edge rings around
her cheekbones—sometimes less is indeed more.
We cannot select a full edge ring around her face, as we would end up destroying
her current nose. Instead, we can of set the selection part way around.
●
Following Figure 8.39 , i rst select the edge ring running from behind her
cheeks to just before her nose.
●
Continue this selection, but drop down an edge ring, so you are selecting
just above her top lip.
●
Merge
these edges.
●
Because of the of set, we have a few triangles to deal with. Luckily,
these can easily be removed by selecting and deleting the edges seen in
Figure 8 39c .
