Box man character

[JimB]

I posted this Boxman "Guide" in the gameSpace forums quite a while back but in case anyone finds it useful I will post it here, just dont throw rotten vegatables in my direction
It is pretty self explanatory I think.

A question that keeps cropping up is how to make character models.

The easiest way to get a reasonable looking character model started is to make a box man.
The image below shows the beginings of how I make a character in GameSpace 1.6.
I will try to expand on this in the future but hopefully this might kick start some would be character modelers

Further enhancements after cutting in some edges which hopefuly shows how easy it is to add to the base model.

I use the basic box man to make my other characters like the pirate ,the SG1 Jaffa ,Cowboy and so on.

Oh and the boxman files, if you have trouble loading them let me know.
