Modeling questions and answers

[mother-tucker]

I'm starting this thread for noobs like me that want to start a model but don't know how to start one or need a question answered.

 

I want to know what shapes to use for the torso, arms, legs, hand, feet, and head. Also, how many polys each object should be.

 

thanks

read my segmentation tutorial, it will tell you about the polycount.

You can make your model anyway you want, by any method. As long as you stick to the polycounts and then can -cut it us into segments as explained in my tute you have nothing to worry about.

I always start my models from a box. I build the head and then extrude out of the box to build up the rest of the model.
