A:M wizard Bill Young, creator of KeeKat and the "banana" texture demo on Hash's 2001 Pro Video Series, takes you step by step through the detailed process of modeling an anatomically accurate human face in Animation:Master. Bill's emphasis is on crafting efficient splinage that doesn't just look good in stills, but animates well, too, with minimal creasing and other problems common in facial animation.
Topics include: * Roughing out the head * Brow and orbits * Inner and outer eye details * Nose and nasolabial area * Lips and mouth corners * Jaw and ears * Dealing with difficult areas
Along with more than 2 hours of 800 x 600 QuickTime video, we include the project files and models Bill uses. You can try out each method for yourself as you follow along on the CD-ROM.
"Model a Face with Bill Young" is available for Windows and Macintosh.

"Bill Young obviously knows his stuff. . . . Nothing important was left out and the endless tweaking that tends to lose my interest in some other training videos was omitted. Bill was also careful to explain how and why his method was suitable for creating an animatable mesh. He also threw in a healthy dose of human facial anatomy to boot. Excellent!" --Rob Garrett
"A great resource. The description of musculature and the reasons behind spline placement are invaluable." -- Sean Farrell
"This CD answered so many questions for me. Bill Young presents the information in a very flowing logical way. . . . The uncluttered narration and excellent editing of this CD should be a model for all tutorial media." --Dave Miles
"The tutorial was excellent, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn modelling in AM." --Gary Neal
It was more than I expected. . . . I've always had particular trouble with the wings of the nose, Bill's work there is practically worth the price of the video.--John Krumpotick
I have built four characters since receiving the tutorial and I am building the meshes with so much more confidence and therefore speed. . . what you guys have done is saved me a lot of time and brain work. --Ian Harrowell
"Probably the best tutorial you've done to date, and I have them all." --Barry Crawford
