I've been working on a model for my game and managed to finish all but the hair. I'm happy with the results at 678 polygons, but something seems off. Looking at the posts on this forum, I'm sure I could get some quality pointers by posting.

You'll never get that to animate correctly. The mesh will deform too much, you need to add more edge loops around the arms and legs.

I've added some more polygons to the arms and feet. I don't have much of an artistic eye, so any comments you have will help me improve.

Slight Update:

Welcome, gentlemen, to Uncanny Valley!

In all seriousness, though, much better than I could ever do.

I made a simple guide on starting a character model.

Higgins is right, you need far more edge loops, especially in major joints, to give this character a chance to deform correctly. In games nowadays, even the most insignificant characters have a much higher polygon budget than you've allotted for this character. Take a look at this model, notice the good use of polygons, how they are distributed to areas where deformation will be heavy (elbows, knees etc...) also, notice how a strong texture can make even the simplest model look awesome!!



Keep it up, dont stop modeling, every model you make you learn something new!

Thanks for all of the tips and examples. I'm just going to start from scratch with better use of polygons in mind. I'll post up some progress when I get the chance. Anything else to keep in mind?

Use a ref image of some sort. It'll help you keep the proportions correct.

http://www.the-blueprints.com has a lot of ref images.

Ok, this has been redone from scratch, trying to follow the advice I've received. I'm much happier with how this one turned out, but I'd still like to get some of your opinions and pointers.


The model comes in at 1077 poly, and animates and deforms correctly.

very god for a second model. the hands are too flat though, if you use your hand as a refarance you will see that they should be slightly domed, the thumb should come down lower. also the eyes may be slightly too high, though it is imposable to be sure becouse the image is to small.

any particular reason for the green colour?

reminds me of myself in the days. took me a year to get where i am.
well here's my pic and i'm not the best either. his name is Kai Sing and it's unanimated and untextured. about 1500 polys and triangulated too and his weapon is about 100 polys and untextured and unanimated, but triangulated.

Jimpo: That's quite an improvement from your first model, nice work!
Can't see any obvious improvements that could be made other than ones already mentioned.

The feet look a little odd but can't really tell with just a front view.

This is a random sentence about squirrels.
