I read the polycount.com forum alot and they had a compo going on some time ago with the rules that you can't use more than 500 triangules for a character and 150 for the accessory. Also the maximum texture size was 128x128 for characters and 64x64 for accessory. So I am also going to try and do that within DeleD and here is what I got so far:
(I know I am very bad at characters but I just want to try it.)
ohh and it's going to be some kind of teenager/surfer dude but It still needs a bag.

and the UV-map:

C&C welcome (esspecially on anatomy)

if some of you also want to try and make a character like this just do it and post it in this thread!.

PS. ohh and the tris count is exactly 500!

Hm, i'm interested how this model looks textured. It's nice for such a lowpoly ammount. I'm sure you could get extra details with a detailed normalmap (ofcourse you have to model a highpoly version too for that, or if you're good in painting you could paint it.)

yes I am going to paint the model... I don't know how to use Zbrush or mudbox so it would be quite hard to make a high poly model and normal map with it if you have never used it before. But I am certainly going to learn that in the future.

Looks good, somehow "Wii" Color-Style. Goodluck with the Bag and the 500 poly limit.

the accessory:

tris count:
hat - 48
bag - 66
earphone - 32
total - 146

and I lowered the polycount of the character to 468 Very Happy

now I need to fit those 3 items on a 64x64 texture sheet Shocked

Lokking good, it reminds me on classic N64 games, because of the low polycount. Smile

That looks very good. Don't know how you going to make textures that small though Shocked
