ladybunny

hey there
I'm new here .... so i'm sure you answered already but i can't find the answer to ...
what is the limit (of faces) for a low poly character?

I'd love to get your opinion on something I was working on ...
I tried to use the least amount of faces .... The question is how it worked for me because I do not know how many it supposed to be ....
And if it looks good ...

Generally i think the accepted polygon limits are around 16k, but it really depends on what your making and if it comes with weapons/accessories. A great way to have a look at models is go to sites like Dominance war, and check out their characters.

There is no real 'correct' number, just to low and to high. it all depends on what your doing and using it for.

Im terrible at characters so i dont comment on the model, but hopefully that helps

Any limit people give you here is going to be arbitrary because it depends on your game type, engine, what else is going on, how big the character is, how complex it is, how close he'll be seen on screen, whether or not it needs facial animations, etc., etc., etc.

Depends on the size of the boobs too ^^.

In MMOs the characters are generally low in triscount, I think for GW2 it's something like 8000.
