model topology to study?

3dmuscle

I wonder if anyone can show me a good example of a model using 10.000 tris. I am learning lowres modeling and 3DS max at the same time (watching a bunch of videos over the weekend).

I will probably have an interview with a company next week but i only use maya, have done some hires modeling a while ago and worked with some textures, but the company uses 3DS max and wants me to paint textures.

Any images/wireframes where i can study the topology? I am going to watch again poopinmymouth videos and see if he mentions the number of tris on that girl model, also i am interested in facial animation, number of shapes, is the head where most of the details go? I just wish i had more time

Thanks for any help

10,000 isn't really low poly. You can probably look at the cages for most high poly models and see the same edge flow. And if its a few too many polys, just delete some loops.

As far as specific examples, just scan through forums like spiraloid or cgtalk.

well, you did say 10.000 tris...

whoa cheap, you must be kidding. that looks around 12.000 tris... nice smoke and mirrors man! wow.

for games, 10,000 tris isn't what i'd consider a low poly model. more like 1,000 - 3,000 tris. but, if you're going to fight over it... then okay! fine. whatever. have it your way ;p

assuming you're looking to make a character model, here are some images that stood out in my tutorial img folder:
