Captains log, Star date 569700: Thanks to the tutorial guy and my innate genius..(pfft!) I have completed the head using such tools as Edit Mesh, Attach, Extrude, Weld, UVW Unwrap, Symmetry, Turbosmooth and many millions of other things as well!
So what did I learn? Not the masses that I was hoping for! Not the meaning of life either. What I did learn was valuable and I am glad I took this module. My only wish would have been to endure the tutorials with the soothing voice of Laurence Fishburne, rather than a single male living with his mum, with a basement he calls a 'command centER'!! No offense meant really! By his guidance I somehow managed to complete the momentous task of head modeling!
Thankfully I had a slight advantage as I have been modeling an Aston Martin V8, so the whole Mesh-shaping thing wasn't new to me although I did pick up alot of useful pointers, especially when it came to UVW mapping!
To conclude I thoroughly enjoyed this module and have pushed my boundaries of knowledge back considerably. My only reservation was the solid days of sitting at a screen manically massaging out the RSI I have now developed in my thumb! Nevertheless! it has been an emotional experience and one that I shan't go out of my way to remember, but it has been invaluable all the same!
