UNI PROJECT HELP (URGENT)

Azure_Dragon

Hey guys, i'm doing a course in the UK and i am in my final year. I have decided to do a complete facial and body rig for a character. I was told not to model a character because my main focus should be on creating a rig. So, as advised i started my search on the internet. The problem i kept running into and still am is the mesh's found were all triangulated and are not quad based.

Request:


1. I was hoping if anyone can advise me to website's that have character mesh's that are not triangulated.

2. If any one is generous enough to let me use a character model ready for animation, which i can use solely for my Final Year Project. I would really be grateful, and the person would be mentioned in my dissertation. Also that person would have a close up look at the project from start to finish.


Thank you for reading, and i would really be grateful for the help

You could try taking a triangulated character and turning it back into quads.

In 3DS Max you would do this with the graphite modeling tools, and hitting "Quadrify all" under the "Geometry" tab.



The results aren't always perfect, and I'm not sure how it treats UV's, but it should work.

Give MakeHuman a try, they especially emphasise that everything's in quads. There's a lot of different variants of bodies available: some are optimised for games and animating, others are anatomically-correct (ish).

Why does it matter if it's triangulated or not? The vertex count won't be different and it won't effect anything.

Here is something, if you dont resell it, there should be no issues at all

You could also get a Cinema 4D Studio or something trial and use those characters, those are textured and everything. I think 3DS has example characters aswell if you search the example scenes.

wow and thank you guys, the uvw maps on the models are so awkwardly done but don't mess up, personally i think its the way the author set them out. but surprising becouse they are game meshes im using (Leon from resident evil 6). But the quadify tool was a point into the right directions. Quads in my opinion are easier on the eyes then triangles. Just makes my life so much easier to optimize the mesh.
