triangles are polys too hehe, polygon isn't the same as quad... you could have a polygon with a hundred vertices, and just count as 1 polygon. So you should go for tris, no one gets owned that way.
[ QUOTE ] The one ont he left is 488 POLYS, not tris... the assignment was to keep below 500 POLYS... it's 976 tris if your counting tris. [/ QUOTE ] Which everyone in the industry does. Sadly, your teacher probably doesn't know the difference. Just because you have a 200 sided polygon doesn't mean you know how to model…
Thanks a bunch chaos for the critique, i now see my mistakes, and for the poly thing... that was my mistake, i should have called them quads... haha a polygon means many sides so i understand that there can be a 25 faced polygon lol. So i'm new to the whole lowpoly thing so all this information helps. Thanks for the tips,…
Err..your model looks like it's around 1100 triangles, make sure you're not just counting the polygons in general, it's the triangles that matter. To drop this model down to 500 tris, you'll have to make his limbs 6 sided or less, same with the torso, and also reduce the cross-sectional loops. Any low poly model should…
