So I’m pretty proud of Mr. Hulk’s eyebrows. I spent many hours trying to figure these brows out and I finally go it! For the first attempt, I traced the eyebrows and then I created a bunch of curved lines that ran perpendicular to the outline of the brow. I lofted these together and it worked, but it didn’t have the fluidity I wanted, it once again looked choppy. I then spent some time playing with the “rail revolve” tool. I didn’t think it would work, but by manipulating the traced brow in a certain way it eventually did!
The process:In order to get the curve in the eyebrow that our hulk model has, I projected the traced brow line onto the head. Then I created a circle in the middle of the brow (I had to make sure it was intersecting the lines on each side) and split the brow in half. I needed to have the circle in order to use the “rail revolve” tool. Once I split it in half, I then split it into quarters by drawing a line through two points on the brow. Now I had two open lines that were running from the circle on each side, which meant I could now use the rail revolve tool. It worked perfectly! I then joined the surface together and I had a perfectly smooth eyebrow. The best part is that when I actually figured out how to do it, it only took a minute to do.
