I am working on 3-4k polys and 1024 textures at the moment and spend 2 weeks on them. 4-5 days for high poly, 1-2 days for low poly and uvs, 4 days for texturing and setting up in-game shaders.

My face rig is fairly minimal: four bones in the lips, four in the brows and two for the tongue (the eyes are sort of fixed orbs). But…
