GameJam.. Need help

M4N53R

Hi there guys..;. I'm currently doing a gamejam this weekend and it has been a fair few months since I have even been behind a computer... My programmer has asked me to make him a character with separated limbs so he can animate them in Unity... I was wondering how I would go about doing that as quick as possible?

Doesn't have to be something super fantastic... just something distinctive enough for someone to know that they are body parts... What shapes should I start with and what is the quickest approach?

cubes or cylinders, I guess it really depends on how confident you are in your modeling abilities.

Do you mean he wants all the animated things as separate objects, similar to bones/rig?
But yeah it's probably easiest to take a few cylinders (6 sided for limbs, 10 for torso should be about right) and block out some shapes.

Based on how he sets them up you will want to parent objects starting from the hip and outward and to set the pivot points based on how they will rotate in game, but the programmer may set it up himself so more detail would be needed.
