As some people have asked me to make in-depth tutorials on my modeling process, so these are Timelapse Video Series which shows the process of my box modelling a realistic male figure in brief. 
Started with a cube, roughing out the whole body, then saperating rough mesh into different parts. Like Torso, Head, Arms, Legs and further detailing each part saperately. Here you can see how i visualise the human form and constantly check the proportions using real life refrences and images. Some tools that comes handy while modeling are : Soft Modification Tool, MJPolytools, Sculpt Geometry Tool.
I will keep upgrading as i get time to work on the model further. Also you will see how i troubleshoot and try to fix wrong loops. Also these are not the final versions, as i will keep working on the digital sculpt and you may see few changes in my final model.
Hope you guys learn/enjoy it and post your comments.

guys appreciate your comments...and i'm sorry i am not able to update other parts of this video...cus i have been crazily busy lately so didnt find any free time to work on it. But i'll try to find some time this month and work more on it further and will keep you guys updated. Also i would like to see how you guys have been benifited with this part, and post if you made use of this...so post your torso if modeled!! Cus for anatomical modeling, its all practise, and main key is to focus on particular body parts and detail it out. So even if its just torso, collect as many different refrences you can and try to model it.
Cheers

Hey guys...appreciate your comments and im really happy to see you are benifited from the tuts! Though i lost the interest in modeling the complete body, i know it sucks but i usually get bored of my personal works if i stretch it for long...SUCKS!!! Also i've been really busy @ work. Gearz: I'm glad to see you modeled the torso...though as i already
said, this is not the final detail for a realistic body, i still had to
do a lot of corrections. So i would suggest using my
tut as base and reading real life references and modeling it foreward. Never stop learning! but yeah i've got some surprise coming your way soon...some more video tutorials of modeling and detailing a realistic human face (exaggerated proportions) in ZBrush...hopefully i'll post it soon...so stay tooned!! Till then...keep modelling <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"> Harsh. PS: I've made a new guestbook on my website...please feel free to put your good/bad comments...thanks :)  Here's the link <a href="http://users3.smartgb.com/g/g.php?a=s&i=g30-04789-16" target="_blank">http://users3.smartgb.com/g/g.php?a=s&i=g30-04789-16</a>
