It's a quick model I made,took around two(2) hours and made in GMax.

It's 500 polygons now.

question: when you are setting out to make a model (of a human/humanoid whatever) do you start with a primitive or do you do something else. I have 3dsmax 3.1 but I haven't tried to model anything other than stuff with primitives (non-humanoid etc). Just looking for some advice on how to start.

Hah! Brutal enough, great jobb pure beauty! Just one thing where's the ears? You will have to optimize some and give him ears, still holding the 500 budget.

CattleRustler:I ususally start by a cube,extrude the basic shapes and volume,add details by cutting edges and finally 'tweak' the model by moving it's vertice back and forth until I'm satisfied with the shapes.


Malkavian:Thanks

I didn't think that gmax had the faciltiy to cut edges (in the nendo way) without using cumbersome slice planes, which is why I don't use it.

I used to use the meshtools plugin for max to do that.

If I'm wrong then maybe I might need to have another look at it.

Nice model though. Be great to see it attached to a body.

Megadumb:But yeah,most major 3d application now work much in the same way as good old Mirai/Nendo

And yes,in edge mode of either poly or mesh,you can select the 'Cut' tool to draw cut on your mesh.

thanks about model,feel free to drop your comments&ideas,the body is already done but I'm too lazy to go get a screen on my own pc so,tomorrow.

Arras:I already told you where and when triangles are useful,in this case,I use them to localize the detail,if not,the edgeloops would spread out the face strips all over the model and I'd end up with a 1200 polygons head.

When modeling for realtime,they're useful but if you need to smooth an area,exempt it from them.

This also goes for smaller triangles in animatable areas,those're the real devil.

Arras:I understand you wanted to get me back on the triangle phobia I expressed in your head thread but that's unfortunately the truth.


If you only have little to no experience using polygons,and if you've ever used a 'break vertex' command in any package,you'd know working with a triangular mesh is a pain because you end up with 8 points to move and re-assemble contrarily as 4 for a polygon Mesh.

That said,in realtime modeling,not using triangles in specific area to block out detail,would be pointless.So I'm using the best of both worlds,not just spreading the triangles sporadically without really knowing why I used one
