Low poly animatable..

Komalrajsingh

I made this model of a character and now I want to animate him.



What kind of wireframe(is that what's its called?) should it have? So that I can animate him nicely. And do you guys have any tips or tricks when making low poly animatable model?

I am presuming you're using max, in which case look up some tutorials on rigging a biped, that is probably the easiest way to get started

That definitely looks like Maya to me

I don't think he's asking for how to rig it though, just how to get his model set up so when he does rig it that it will be more animation friendly and gets better deformations.

Personally I found Ancient Pig's tutorial to work really well for explaining to get get good deformations at low poly counts.

Here is a thread that also explains deformation.
