In front of a quiet manor house in the north-east of Française, there is a stately and elegant classical villa. Compared with the palatial city lord's mansion next door, although the villa is much smaller, the decoration is very simple and generous, and there is a sense of history.

Outside the round stone arch, two luxurious carriages are parked, dark red flannel and gold-inlaid decorations, all of which show the noble status of the owner. Under the guidance of the servants, two richly dressed men walked down one after the other.

The man walking in front had a dignified and solemn face, a very sculpted face, his hair combed very evenly, and a few silver threads hanging on his temples. He held a pitch-black cane and walked up the stairs with steady steps.

The man walking in the back looked very young, and his facial features were somewhat similar to those of a middle-aged man. Although his expression was calm, his mood was very excited as revealed from the shining eyes.

At the door of the villa, the butler dressed in black stood there respectfully and bowed to the two of them, "Welcome, Mr. Garcia." ”

The middle-aged man, Lawson Garcia, bowed his head slightly and entered the gate of the villa.

The butler led the two to the parlor, instructed the servant to prepare refreshments, and then saluted him politely, "Mr. Garcia, due to a sudden emergency, my master has not been able to meet him far away. However, the host knew that the two of them were tired, and specially prepared a room for you to rest, and asked the two of them to rest for a while, and then discuss the matter in detail for another day. ”

Hearing this, Lawson frowned slightly, but his good upbringing made him not say much, just a decent chin, "There is Lao." ”

The butler owed a debt and summoned his servants to lead them to their respective rooms. Walking to the front of the room, the middle-aged man only left a sentence of "don't say much" and went back to the room to rest.

As soon as he entered the room and waved away the servant who led the way, the young man's servant couldn't help but complain, "Second Young Master, look, we are also distinguished guests from afar, obviously we have made an appointment, but this master is so hospitable!" How unreasonable! And look at the butler's face, it's—"

"What are you talking about?" The young man glanced coldly at his entourage.

When the entourage saw that the sycophants couldn't shoot, they immediately understood that they had stabbed the honeycomb. He immediately kept silent and hurriedly ran to serve tea.

With a look of sleepiness on his face, he paced to the sofa and sat down elegantly, rubbing his temples with his hand, and a cup of fragrant black tea was handed to him.

"Second young master, please use tea." The entourage respectfully served tea and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo's luggage.

Looking down at the reflection in the teacup, Zia Garcia pursed her lips without saying a word.

The preliminary round of the model artist competition is imminent, and the preliminary stage of the competition is set in the second-tier city of Frankland. As an intermediate-to-mid-stage modeler, Lawson Garcia was recommended as one of the judges for the audition and semi-finals of the competition, and had to leave early to arrive at the venue.

As a beginner modeler, although he is not technically an amateur modeler, he has never served any aristocratic class, so he also took advantage of the loophole to sign up.

Because he has reached the middle stage of the initial stage, Zia does not need to participate in this audition and directly enters the semi-final stage, and it stands to reason that he does not need to come to Francois so early. But after learning that the nobleman who received his father this time was actually Wagner Taylor, the most prestigious high-level modeler in France, he begged his father to bring him with him, so that he could make friends with this high-level modeler.

Zi Ya knew very well in his heart that with only his beginner level, he might be able to barely rank in Luobu City with his family's background. But looking at the surrounding area, he has no room for beaks at all in the second-level Farland City.

If you want to lead the family to the next level, you can only continue to improve your ability and expand your network. If you can get into a relationship with a high-level modeler, even if you can't say that you have a close relationship, if you can learn some more advanced modeling techniques under the master, it will definitely be of great benefit to your future development.

didn't expect that when I first arrived in a different place, I immediately encountered a soft nail, how could Zia, who was held by the stars since childhood, ever eaten deflated?

In addition to the anger in his heart, he also made him realize clearly that this is not the Luobu City that can call the wind and rain, and there is not so much face for the other party to pay attention to himself. He can only try to use this time to get the other party's attention and impress the other party.

After figuring it out, Zia calmed down, and he didn't care about the other party's rude behavior at all. After thinking for a while, he walked to the small desk in the guest room, took a breath, and began to practice the model.

In this competition, he must not lose!

***********

The light blue LCD screen shone slightly, and five small white light balls gradually condensed from the fingertips of the five fingers, Du Yuhan set the coordinates of the eight vertices up and down, left and right, and pulled out a rectangular frame with a ratio of three, four, five.

He aligned the proportions up and down, first reserving the bridge of the nose in the front, then turning the white mold and pointing the facial bones from the side - the middle of the brow arch, the tail angle of the eye socket, the highest point of the cheekbones, the bottom of the bridge of the nose and the middle of the nasolabial folds.

In head modeling, the first thing to determine is the position of the bones, after all, the facial features are fleshy and thin, but the bones are the key features that determine the shape, so the bones must be set before starting.

This is also Du Yuhan's original method, which can not only quickly fix the point, but also avoid too many auxiliary lines.

Confirming that there were no problems with the left and right ratios, he proceeded to the next step.

Pull down the corners of the square one by one to form an arc shape, fixing the position of the forehead, ears, celestial lid and the back of the head. Then keep rotating back and forth between the front and the side, until the skull is smooth.

Modify the loop at the lower eyelid to outline the basic contour of the eye socket, and then pick out the tip of the nose, cheeks, and chin respectively. Du Yuhan thought about it, decomposed the structure of the nose on the manuscript paper, and painted several times before he began to continue.

Squeeze out the nose and lip flap, adjust the length of the philtrum, and then add three or four loops to the lip masseter muscle, levator pulator cheek and orbicularis oculi muscle to make the muscles softer and fuller. Finally, the position of the neck is picked out, and the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which connects the root behind the ear to the pectoral muscle, is pulled out, and the prototype of the whole character can be considered to be drawn out.

Du Yuhan half-raised his eyebrows, as if he was not very satisfied with the eye area, and deleted some auxiliary lines and readjusted the structure. With a shake of his right hand, the white light from his fingertips shattered into tiny white dots, densely distributed nearby, and turned into a small brush.

This was something he stumbled upon when he was making a spell, and this kind of light was drawn on the grid, which could be used as a brush for a famous graphics processing software. The spacing of the light spots is different, the size is different, and the carved nicks are also very different. In this way, he can adjust the light points of his fingertips according to different needs and carve the desired effect.

It's just that this kind of brush has extremely high requirements for the caster's energy control, and if there is a slight deviation, the effect will be very different. Du Yuhan is not very proficient yet, he can only use three proficient for the time being, and there is still a month before the deadline for the preliminary round, and he plans to use this time to get familiar with it as much as possible.

Use a coarser brush to draw a few strokes on the brow arch bone to carve out the brow peak and between the eyebrows, and then adjust the details to delicate strokes. When paddling to the tail, Du Yuhan's fingers paused. Originally, I thought it was the ancient beauty of Yuan Shan Dai, but I don't know why the first thing that came to mind was Kevin's faint straight eyebrows.

Under the ghost's divine dispatch, the originally bent eyebrows were swept by him with a few strokes, and they were born straight and horizontally.

The originally feminine demeanor added a bit of heroism, and the whole face looked unexpectedly harmonious.

"It seems acceptable."

"Squeak!"

"There's no rule that a woman has to be soft, right?"

"Squeak!"

Du Yuhan muttered to himself, finding a reliable reason for himself, and continued to bury himself in carving.

The fingertips fell to the eyelid area, the eye is the window of the soul, and Du Yuhan plans to reinvest in this area.

Start by using a rounded brush to outline the upper and lower eyelids at the orbits, then use a stiff brush to sculpt the upper and lower eyelid sulcus. The greater the heaval of the eyelid sulcus, the deeper the gaze became, but this was not his idea, so he only made a few iterative strokes on the eyelid position.

Thin points of light quickly pass over the eyelids, and a delicate but deep heavy eyelid is completed, and then the sharp edges and corners are swept away with a fine brush. Finally, you only need to use the tip of the needle to bring out the eyelashes and inner corners of the eye one by one, and the eye part is complete.

Visually inspecting the proportions of his facial features, Du Yuhan slightly adjusted the height of his chin and began to make his lips.

Compared to the care with which he carved his eyes, he was noticeably more daring when drawing the lip line. With a wave of his fingers, he sketches a thin lip, then defines the lip peak, lip valley and jaw labial fold, and embellishes the wiring that combs the corners of the lip, and the lips are done.

Finally, with the addition of ears with very low wiring requirements, this human head model is considered to have completed eight points.

The remaining two points......

Du Yuhan touched the smooth head and sighed softly.

The beauty model is good, but the long flowing hair is really a headache, not to mention the long carving time, but also to consider the influence of gravity and wind field on the hair, which is not entirely a technical problem.

Looking up at the dim sky, he didn't expect this model to take him nearly a day, and it was estimated that it was about to be dinner, Du Yuhan stretched his waist to soothe his tense muscles. Let's do this today, output the wireframe to the white mold and go to rest.

He was about to pour his fighting spirit into it when the dog, which had been squatting on the table, squeaked. I saw that the wire frame was suddenly surrounded by a layer of pure white particle whirlwind from the bottom up, emitting a milky white faint light. In a few breaths, the whirlwind faded like a tide in an instant, and a porcelain-white model appeared in front of him.

Du Yuhan was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Just now, I only had one thought, and I haven't stirred up my fighting spirit, why did I suddenly transform into a white model?

This situation has been encountered before, just a few days ago when he was fighting the banshee in Beettown, he had instantly pinched out a spell white model. But at that time, the energy purity in the air was very strong, and I didn't care much about it, just because it was the result of the environment. But now it seems that even the spell that had no effect on the banshee has appeared extremely strange.

I remember that when he first entered the city, he also pinched a frost spell, which was not instantaneous at that time. And in the interval between the two spells, they entered the realm, and then brought out a dog's egg-

Dogs?

Du Yuhan's eyes finally fell on the fluffy white fur ball.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pulled out a box, his eyes fixed on the situation of the dog, and the energy arrangement of the white model gradually appeared in his mind. I saw a flash of silver light under the dog's eyes, and a small white energy storm wrapped the box tightly, and with a bang, a white square fell onto the table.

And so it was.

Du Yuhan hooked the corners of his mouth.

The realm was opened by it, the bracelet was activated by it, and the iron vault was also found by it, so it seems logical that the dog can have some kind of accelerated modeling ability.

No wonder the barrier that devoured them was pure white, no wonder only he could see it in the realm, no wonder the spell didn't work against the banshee, no wonder it could sense the location of the iron vault.

It turns out that the dog is a model puppet.

The so-called model puppet is a high-level model made by a model master, mainly driven by magic cores or other external energy. There are many types of golems, some are used for combat, some are used for finding objects, some are used for refining magic weapons, and some are used for service. Others are very special and require specific conditions to trigger commands, such as the defense array of Farland City, which is a trigger-type model puppet.

A typical model puppet will accept the user's instructions and start a series of activities. Du Yuhan didn't know what type of dog was this, but he had never heard of a puppet being self-conscious, let alone that this dog would actually run to steal and eat......

"Squeak!"

Being able to make a zuò model for Du Yuhan, the dog egg seemed very happy, it jumped over and rubbed the other party's palm hard, its small eyes flickered, as if to say "praise me".

Du Yuhan sneered, raised his hand and stroked the dog's head, "Yes, yes, the dog's most powerful." ”

"Squeak!" The dog looked up proudly.

It seems that this hairball is not for nothing. He rolled his eyes and leaned in to poke the dog's face.

"What else are you going to do?"

"Squeak! Squeak squeak! Creak! Creak! ”

“…… Never mind. ”
