Skeleton: Research

Here are diagrams I been looking at the landmarks of the skeleton that are visible on the surface of the skin. The idea of this is that give us a starting point to base out models on. The sksleton has areas around thr body that give deformation that is noticable on the skin, these are key areas for modellers as areas of topology and where to start sculpting. These diagrams were a way for me to try memories what I have been learning from the books. I took the images from the book that were just on the skeleton and drawn over in red the area that you see on most human bodies. Some of them do vary from individuals depending sometimes on gender and weight. But even with these differences, ther land marks will always be there as they are skeletal landmarks that everyone has.

To the right shows the landmarks for the Legs. The key Areas that I found out that are key placements are the Head of the Fibula and the Medial surface of the Tibia. Getting these aswel as the Patella would set up most of the leg muscle placements and proportions.

The Greater Trochanter was a very interesting bone for me as it shows the angled bone called the Femur. That along with one of the main landmarks of the body. The Anterior Superior Ilia Spine which for me is the most important landmark along with the Clavical. You would measure the person you want to use as reference to get the placement and distant between the each side of the iliac crest to get the right width and depth of the body.

The Ulnar Furrow is a very key placement for me also for the arm as the extensors are the laterial side of the bone with the Flexiors that flex the fingers are on the medial side so there is a difinative line between the two and you can see this on your own arm.
