I learned of Polycount back in 2000 when I wanted to learn how to make Quake 3 Arena characters and do game art for a living. A few months later I started to post because I had some questions regarding making Quake 3 models. Been here ever since. Alex
I checked this site out originally when I was looking at the custom HL2/Quake 3 player models, a few years later I rejoined when I was recommended this by a teacher in college. Been using it to help my skills ever since!
