    Vague much? Definitions of what you mean by 'best', 'low poly' and 'workflow' would help.

    Best: Fastest? Most logical? Produces cleanest results? (In any case, there's generally no best, especially between different artists)

    Low poly: 500 or so as seen in the low poly thread, or just general 'real time' which these days can be 10k or more? These are quite different things.

    Workflow: Pipelilne for the whole model, as in order of modeling, boning, texturing, etc-- or do you just mean how the polies get laid down? (Box modeling, edge extrusion, etc).

    I don't mean to be cheeky but hey-- this is a place for discussion, discuss wink.gif

    workflow for low poly modeling.
    just that, the workflow for modeling a low-polygon model, that is made out of thousands, not hundreds of thousands to millions of polys.

    i use spline modeling and cut tools a lot, triangle modeling for cleaning up the mess 3ds max leaves with poly modeling,
    editable poly mode to clean up the mesh from time to time.

    o_O it's not max that leaves a mess with polymodelling, it's you, work clean and there won't be a mess.

    I dont see how max can leave a mess. The only polygons are ones you put there.
