How to create a vac formed head from a plane

[askhamdesign]

I need to create a model like this pic to form a head comming out of a plane, I allready have a head does anyone know of a way to shrink wrap a plane on it rather than re-modelling the whole thing?

I have tried max cloth and reactor cloth but its not going too well.

Thanks for your help.

Conform could do the trick:

- Place a plane in front of the face (you'll need a lot of subdivisions to get good detail)
- Select the plane and crate a conform object (Crate/Compound/Conform)
- Pick the face as wrap-to object and better check "Hide Wrap-To Object"

Most likely you'll need some tweaking but should be a good start.

Thanks Codi this was the kind of thing I was looking for, I will give it a go.

Really I wonder if there will be much in the way of new stuff ive not really looked at it, wont be able to upgrade for a while anyway!

you can do this very easily in zbrush,

import the head
select the plane tool, draw it in the canvas, go to edit mode, shortcut key, t
click on convert to 3d button (changes the plane from a parametric object to an edit poly) top of the tools menu
you have to do this so that you can append this plane later as a subtool, you cannot append the plane when it is a parametric object

select your head
draw on the canvas, go into edit mode
append the plane as a subtool,
place the plane in front
select the z project brush and paint the plane on the head

Thats pretty impressive, ive never used zbrush I must take a look one day, I only have 3 3d studio to do it in, I forgot to mention that part!

Thanks for your help, I will take a look at zbrush if I can get a demo!
