I'm trying hard to create a simple stickman character. The closest thing I've come so far is just a sphere on top of a cylinder with "floating" cylinders as arms and legs, just sort of swinging beside the central cylinder. It looks TERRIBLE. How could you make an actual Stickman that would not look entirely geometric in 3-D?

make it out of cylinders and spheres
and then set the ambience to 0 in the game on the object
or put no texture on it and colour it black.

Wow! Thanks for all the immediate help ... I really like the first stickman, that's kind of the form I'm going for. I'm trying to make him look like a pencil-drawn character with a face. How would you do that with the ambience turned to 0 and everything?

I was thinking, like you said, of making it from cylinders and a sphere again, and maybe drawing a dark grey line where I want visible, coloring the entire sphere dark grey, and coloring the rest black and setting the transparency on the object to see through the black. Thanks very much for the idea ... I'll give it a whirl and if anything cool comes of it, I'll post it right away.

What do you think? Is there a better way?

well put two spheres on for the eyes... but turn change the ambient colour. the ambience just gets rid of all depth of an object so light doesn't affect it if you know what i mean.
