Hi there,
at the moment I am modelling a funny guy most of u are familiar with: Eddy from Iron Maiden...
Now I have some serious problems.
1st: I dunno how to model the teeth. I saw some people just model and texture the front side but I dont like it that way. I'd prefer to model a "bended thin block" and texture it from upside and frontside. But then I have problems with sharp teeth cause I have to model extra shape...(sry for bad English, hope everything is clear)
2nd: What about armor n stuff. Some people model pure anatomy 1st and just place the armor over it. Shall I delete the stuff under it or not. Probably it depends on if the model will be seen with and without later in the game?! Stupid question but after reading this http://www.poopinmymouth.com/process/character_process/character_process.htm I really asked myself this question.
3rd: What about skirts and kilts :). Maybe Eddy will wear one later...
How to model the kilt? Hm... very difficult to describe for me.... Because the textile is so thin, do I have to model the downside? Cause I would like to texture the outside and the inside on one poly...Is that actually possible???
Puuuuuh. :D
Again sry for my bad English. (Moderators are allowed to correct grammatical errors :argh: )
Hope some people can help me here. I'll give you WIPs after those questions are clear :)
