I remember it being suggest before when we had a polycount what-if-wish-list thread and a lot of people thought it was a good idea but hard to implement. Read: it would cost $$, so buy polycount swag and it has a better chance of happening.
It's very good for a beginner actually! You could use a smaller polycount for the shoes, but then again, in 2007 this polycount isn't big anyway. Maybe you could try to go for real low poly as an exercise? BTW, his smile is psychotic, I like!
It really depends on what kind of polycount you are shooting for, but for the best looking results you should get some geometry around the large folds that will change the silhouette. A good example is this character in the polycount showcase, http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74780.
Not sure if I follow you here, I'm already logged in to Twitter. But for some reason, it won't link Polycount to it anymore. I also deleted all my cookies and disconnected Polycount from my Twitter and tried it again from there but still no results :/.
Driver ready ( i forgot the head :poly127: ). Polycount around 13,5k. Still need some touchups on the helmet normal map, but that's photoshop work. Salud. EDIT: Sorry, i found i have the helmet duplicated, actual polycount is 12,200 tris.
google "thirding" term. If you are brave one you can look directly to polycount wiki cause it is covered there as well. You know polycount have wiki as well right? EDIT: does not matter what engine are you using... It is general technique.
loving the normal boobs, not so fond of the manboobs -this raises an interesting thought however, why doesn't polycount have a babe thread, or we could just make it "ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE THREAD" so that incase there are any female polycounters (?) they can post also?

Nyello 2D Polycount! Super awesome stuff being posted in here lately. First post to Polycount figure I should start with some concepts I did for an upcoming game project "Battle Of The Bards" Dwarf, FemBard and HARPie (Sorry it's not cleaner)
Let me remind you of that time when introduced polycount to the term "meat" and how people at previous workplaces hated your guts for telling them about the meat (But in reality it's a grand conspiracy!!) Polycount is like a workplace and people will eventually get frustrated.
