That's a long shot considering that that link is from the original UBB site, which has been dead for the past 8 years or so. Not much of a chance anyone knows exactly what video you're talking about or if anyone has a copy of it.

It would probably be easier if you just described the problem in detail and see if anyone knows of a solution for you.

Also, it's a good idea to post your thread in the right section and include a title that's more descriptive than just "Help!". I have moved the thread and changed the title for you.

Original quote:
SFX
"if u go down to the bottom of the modeling section, there is a movie for dl, on how to make a dragon ball z type head, out of a sphere, though it is 40 meg or so and it is a time lapes movie so it's a bit quicker than a normal, movie.
But if u get the chance dl it."

This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Once again thank you for your patience.

It's unlikely this video is still around. Your best bet is to try and find similar stuff.

What exactly are you having trouble with? Have you modeled characters before, or is this your first one?

If you're new to modeling characters, any video on head modeling will teach you valuable techniques. Making a DBZ head is really like making any other head. You just need to learn the modeling techniques, and then you will be able to apply them to any shape.

If it's the DBZ style itself that is eluding you, I recommend putting character sheets or screenshots from the show in your viewport, so you can match your shapes to these.

Maybe this video will help?

I usually start with something like a box with maybe 4 subdivisions per axis, and then apply a spherify modifier. Then convert to editable poly and edit + subD.
