Low Poly Self Portrait Model

[St_George]

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!

Not too shabby at all. Good work!

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.

Looking good.

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

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).

[St_George]

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!
