The icomap projection does a very good job of this as shown by the Tissot indicatrix. This allows each pixel to reliably represent roughly the same surface area with a minimum of distortion. To use the POV-Ray spherical camera to reproject the globe, but it is best to have a mapping with a minimum of distortion of shape and area. Each of the “circles” on the map represents a true circle on the spherical surface, all of the same size. The next video will be the one I keep promising… Painting the Head!Īfter this I think we can get going with another much requested topic – The Hair 😀įinally I will conclude the series with lesson(s) on lighting and rendering, as well as compositing in Photoshop.The Tissot Indicatrix of an icomap. Hope you enjoy the updates! Let me know if you spot any issues so I can correct them 🙂 Just a quick one to let you know the course has had a bunch of new videos added since my last message. I would love to hear from you and learn how I can improve the content to better suit your needs! 🙂 If you have any feedback, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Although it is not mandatory to use PureRef, it will make viewing the images easier. I have also provided a PureRef file alongside the 2D reference images. To fully utilize the 2D image references, it is recommended that you download PureRef, which is a free software available at. These resources include Blender files and reference images/models to assist you in following along.

In addition, each section of the course has download content available within its labelled folder. However, if you prefer to download the videos, you can find them in zip files within the corresponding folder. It is advised that you stream the lessons online instead of downloading them, as the video files are large. The lessons are organized into appropriately labelled folders.
