    Hey,

    This is a uni project where i am supposed to model myself in under 2000 polygons. At the moment its a bit above that but hell, WIP This is my first work in 3D bar some very poor early versions of this!

    I have textured the model but only very quickly to see how it came out, i'm only interested in mesh crits though please because i know the texture is crap! Thanks in advance!

    thankyou, my main areas to adjust are:

    - make the mesh less symmetrical

    - reduce polycount (i.e on the front of the T shirt)

    - fix the hair (i have no idea how to do alpha mapping)

    - pull the sides of the head in as my head looks too fat.

    Save the texture as a 32-bit .tga file, and there ya go, it's alpha will work (alpha shown as checkered part of the texture, default transparency in Photoshop).

    Update:

    Here's the model again, this time below the 2000 poly limit (with enough for basic alpha hair)

    loads of fixes, too many too name!
