Unfortunately after spending weeks on perfecting the template lines and being very impressed with the end result, I noticed that there were a few mistakes. I was just about to start drawing the lines and making the editable poly in 3Ds Max when I realised that the template I drew was very confusing the had many mistakes throughout.
The main mistake I noticed was around the nose. I noticed that I had put a triangle into the lines and didn't notice that one of the shape had 3 sides. This was a problem because I knew that it would create a pinch in the face and make it look misshapen. I also noticed that just next to the triangle there was a line which lead into an edge instead of a vertex. This would be a problem because it would create a 5 sided shape in the section next to it.
After noticing some of the small mistake I realised that the whole of my template was very confusing. It would have been better to make a simple template and then late added more lines during the shaping process. With the template being this confusing I would not be able to easily make the editable poly and instead of carrying on at this point, I realised it would be best to start again.
I am very disappointed at this point because I had spent several weeks making sure the template was perfect so that the rest of the project ran smoothly. I know it would be better to start again because it would make the rest of the stages easier if the topology was easier and better designed.
