lol, sense alot of people are shwoign off a few of there humanoid models why dotn I show off one of my badly done models. lol, dont mind how they are standing it makes them easier to Rig.(the top one is my first model and the second one is my second one) They are rounded so that they can be cell shaded. I have severall different swim suit textures for my second models bathing suit.)

Thanks,
Brad

Great, now a humanoid epoch on the forum, LOL.

You got a low poly for those?

I like it a lot more when posing model's like your first one, couse on the second one (yes it easier to bind the model but..) it makes the ik-work much harder.

As always I would be interested in knowing the program used, I would guess max, and know if there is a picture of the wire avible for me to study

Didn't like the phong material on the second one though, lol.

Well I used Lightwave 3D(Thank you NewTek!). And this model I guess you can say isnt for games it is about 18 thousand polys and I will have to make a wireframe render soon. Inverse Kanetics are cool in a way, but wieght maps are evil. lol, I have to develop my Animation skills for the future, but for now ship modeling is my thing.

Thanks,
Brad

on 18k polys weighing is gonna be a bitch'an'ahalf
try not to use so many polygons from the start ... you'll get a much better look and feel if you start off with the basic outlines and then poly edit in the details, finishing off with a nurbs mesh smooth

This model at first was about 1000 polys, and then I used Lightwave's Subpatch(meshsmooth for MAX users) and then froze the model, it gives me more mesh to work with when I do this, And I make weight maps before I convert this to Subpatch.

Thanks,

SubPatch and MeshSmooth are very different tools
can achieve the same results sometimes, but SubPatch and HDRS would be more accurate

generally with my work they have 4 levels of work,
Base Model -> UV Mapping -> Refine Mesh -> Section Polygon Multiply

depending on what he model is, machine/man/animal/planet etc... depends on who i smooth it, but usualy i do it to sections which are detailed and then smoothed
