low poly wip

[usagi yojimbo]

ok, this is my first real try at 3d modeling, nothing special, just trying to get the anatomy down
any thoughts, suggestions or crits are welcome



oh yeah and does anyone have any tuts for animating (with bones) and/or exporting into ut2k?

Hi man. Nice figure. Everything is great except legs. About converting I know for actorx, pug-in for 3dmax (convert models to ut2003) yust tupe actorx in browser.

ok, heres a small update, ive added the things coming off his, theyre are gonna be just strips of leather, i think i might add a feather on the ends or something, the gaiters on his boots, the pockets and ive messed around with the anatomy

i know its not much of an update but i want to keep moving with this

i mostly want to know if the kneck and the way it connects to the torso looks right

Looking really good so far. Especially seeing as how this is your first low poly model. How many polys are you aiming for? Here's a good link for all stuff conscerning UT... http://www.map-center.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000040

hey sketch, thanks

its about 2300 polys so far, when its done i hope it'll be under 3000, (i think thats about what ut2k3 models are) im not really too concerned with the polycount thogh
thanks for the link

oh wait, theres 2300 faces now, i think when i posted the shots here it was under 2000

i think this is pretty much it for the mesh, i wanna skin it and stuffbut until then this is pretty much done i think

i dont know anything about deformation when its animated so if anyone wants to give me a few pointers on where it might get really distorted and what i can do about it, id realy appreciate it
