I thought it about time i started posting snapshots of my MMO projects models, these are relatively high poly count (~8k each) but i am working on lower poly models for LOD swapping in game.

Anyways.. Here's my current "prototype" caucasian player character base models:









I'm using the latest version of Blender for all my modelling (2.5x) - "x" because i use the latest test builds from http://www.graphicall.org/builds/

The official 2.52 alpha release from http://www.blender.org is still great, but had a problem on my machine (i couldnt bake textures without it crashing)

Anyways.. what you all think of my newbie skills? i confess i did use makehuman to create templates for anatomical referance, but i can assure you that the models are my own. (heck i even did the ears based on my own real ones hehe)

coool, big respect to those who can make such good looking face. Looks really nice.

Thankyou bitkar that really means a lot to me! i spent ages on the faces for both models..

It didnt take long to get them looking right, only a day or so each.. but i wanted to create the faces using the exact same topology, with commonly used loops and bands, not to over-the-top with the poly count, but enough to create any shapes i wish across the face. Now that i have it, i can quickly use it to create different faces with different ethnic origins etc

When i have finished tweaking the models and have them exactly how i want them, i will post some screenshots showing the final topology, however this may take a while.. as im very fussy, even on details that might not otherwise be seen/noticed

I cant wait to have them totally finished though, modelling the scenery and creatures will be a breeze with all the knowledge ive gained so far

All criticism is welcomed, i am after all im a 3D newbie - anything to help me get better wont be turned away
