Glasses

Well, I ended up doing my glasses after all. My model looks much more like me now! Heres how I made them:



First, I made a box and positioned it infront of my eye. I made it transparent in order to make it easier to see. In retrospect, I probably could have made a rectangle rather than a a box as I would have been able to manipulate it better. However, it still worked out in the end.



I then extruded the edges in order to create the frame of the glasses. Extruding the edges seperately meant that I had to then weld them together.



I did the same for the earpiece. I simply extruded it from the frame. I had to create a new polygon in order to do this.



I then did the same thing for the bridge. Once I had finished, I applied a turbosmooth to it.



Finally, I gave the lens and frame a different material ID, gave them their own colour and then reduced the opacity of the lens to 0 in order to make it transparent. While this isnt really a true glass effect, it does the same job. It just means that I was not able to add any detail to the lens. Overall though, I am happy with the result!
