    DiegoTeran good job!
    I clicked on the 'see full rez' button here and also got a smaller size than the shot you posted a link to. Maybe there is a size limit, I never experienced this on polycount before though.

    The wire looks good. My only crit is it seem like the polys are evenly distributed. Seems that on places where there is less curvature or animation action like the chest that there could be less of them.

    I should also do a cage for mine as well!

    hey yeah you know i asked a friend who worked on dawngate and does these type of characters and as far as I know, the wires are supposed to be even and straight for the most part regardless of/if that specific section will animate/deform a lot or not.

    overall this guy is sitting at 9k triangles which is fairly on the low side, so overall if anything not worried about it seeing as the count is not affecting it :)

    ps* I will how ever message my buddy and ask to make sure.

    also thank you for the nice compliment :)

    I guess failing is not a bad thing, i must admit i learned a lot with this one. :\

    Anyway here is a pic and the wireframe too.

    Personally I wouldn't call this a failure at all, think you did a great job!

    Hi I finally had some free time and finished this challenge >_<!!

    [SKETCHFAB]386e247e20434371b6f39d152bfdbde9[/SKETCHFAB]

    The kitten here was in total with 13k faces and 25k tris.

    The weapon with 651 faces and 1298 tris.

    What do you think about this polycount? Is enough? Is a lot? For this final quality that I made of the model?


    Thanks!
    (it took a little while..... but I like to always finish what I start, nothing to jump for the next and forget this.)

    And now to the next !

    25k tris might be a bit much for a naked character with skirt. But I think it is alright. Glad you finish this :)

    Great finish juancaratino!

    seeing the progress from the beginning its come a very long way. I'm sure you learned a lot in the process too. Id say, to push the realism further its best to consider the fact that muscle has skin and fat that covers it, so you want to smooth more areas out so its not quite so defined (like carved in). Even if its a mythical creature there would still be areas where its not so defined, like the area between the deltoid and bicep for example. Even in ultra lean individuals it doesn't look like that but perhaps you saw it in an anatomical model without skin and fat so you did it that way.

    Couple of crits on the presentation. I think the reds and browns are too saturated and the current lighting setup doesn't match the background you chose. unless you want to rework the lighting of your character I think it would actually look a lot better with just a dark grey background and vignette. Perhaps you could consider some bloom or more glow on the glowy bits too and kill some of the darkness it has. A bit more color variation in the wood (along with desaturating it) would go a long way I think. But very nice overall I'm impressed with you progress man!

    [edit] one last thing... The background has an obvious painterly feel, and yours has an obvious cg sorta feel. Which is ok, but the two sorta clash. Just another reason why I think the background doesn't really fit. I think its a great attempt, but it still needs some work to really mesh with everything. The highpoly render you have is an extremely strong piece btw, I'd challenge you to get your final color render to that level!

    [edit2] Sorry just one more thing I noticed. the highpoly actually looks more correct in terms of what I was saying about the fat and skin over the muscle. I think the crit is still valid but less so after looking more carefully at the highpoly. That said, I think you may have too much cavity or something in your diffuse. Its not reading nearly as well as your highpoly did in that render above in terms of the skin/muscle/and fat transitions.

    I find the green glow on the subject's skin/cloths a little too distracting. Like it's blocking me from seeing the coolest shit.
