Low Poly Head

die_Kröte

Hello Polycounters,

I'm still a beginning modeler and doing it as a hobby but aspiring to release a game for Android.

I'm hoping to get a bit of critique on the head portion of a model, generally on it's shape and flow. It's a male and has a mask over the lower portion (the mask needs work... I'm still deciding how it should be tied/held on without making it look like a western bandit's bandanna). I recently added a bit more geometry, but I'm trying to keep the count low as it will be for mobile devices (though I am targeting the newer phones with 1 Ghz processors). The shots are with quads, it's 386 tris if I convert them.











basic reference...

I think you need to round out the top of the skull. The center line needs to be pulled up a bit more.

Thanks Matt, agreed, I'll definitely make that change. Any other tips anyone can share?

if your doing the whole body at some point, 376 may be a bit much for the head... Especially if there is going to be other stuff on screen. Probably aim for 500 for the whole model.

@achillesian - I posted in the low poly hardware spec thread to get an idea of what to expect from the phones I'm targeting. I really think I can go quite a bit higher than that, but I have testing to do and brains to pick.
