I added from extra polys on the butt and changed the eye shape to look more evil, poly count is now at 2486, I'll see if I could add a cape at some point this week :)

[Nappa]

you got a heavy amount of polygons in the face you planing some facial animation

[Cyrenn]

Good to see you got Fred his own thread: )

So I take it your about ready to unwrap him up : )

Keep the updates coming.

[Dave_UK]

I wasn't planning on facial animation but I think I could do some for learning purposes. Before I unwrap I want to test rig this guy with bones, I only used bones in the tutorial with max once so I better crack on with it :o

Here is the cape, not the best but looks ok :)

Here's a screenshot of the UVs with flat colours, am pretty much finished the texturing but having problems with the CS biped, it won't initialise (yellow lines don't show) even when I create a new biped.

Glad to see someone keeping this section alive : )

Looks like you got a well layed out Map : ) I need to get to texturing mine: ) But been so backed up with work and all : ) Hope I can get it done by this weekend: )

Keep up the solid work. Dave: )

[Dave_UK]

After quite few long hours of rigging finally manage to get some poses and put it together into Photoshop :)

Edited: Added a toon shader style render, I did this before texturing my model :o

Wizzo Man turned out pretty Awsome Man: ) Nice texture job fo sho: ) Very cool little dude: )

[Tweaked verteX]

Looks nice... when you say polygons you're counting quads, aren't you? Usually polycounts for game characters are measured in tris which would almost double your polycount.

[Dave_UK]

I use 3ds max's poly counter and usually measure in polygons, the triangle count would have been 5000 it's just my perference at the time.

[Zcubed]

Nah, I think you would have come in at a little bit under 5000 triangles. Your tricount is only double the polycount if your mesh is all quads. It's not a big deal, but I would use the tricount from now on just so you know exactly where you're at.

And nice work, you churned this guy out pretty quickly. :smug:

[Dave_UK]

Zcubed thanks for pointing that out I was going through a max tut and checked out the tri and poly count isn't exactly double, good to know now :)

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Very awesome character. You did a great job with texturing. I honestly like it a lot. Keep up the good work!
