hello,
i'm planning to model this guy:

I'm also planning to rig and animate him, so i can practice modeling,rigging and animating at once.
I would like to know if some of you had modelled a character like that and how you handled the hair. Is it just a seperate piece geometry that you put on top of the head and place bones later on only for the main strands of hair. I know this wouldnt be the way if I'm going for high-res but keep in mind that i plan to animate him later. And i can only render on one machine :).
The other thing is his white cloth that goes from his upperbody to his waist and from there to his shin. Modeling won't be a problem but animating/rigging it. Would you run an nCloth simulation or do you rig it with bones?
Thank you for reading and I apologize for my bad english. I try to explain as best as I can.
Also, if you have evr modeled Gaara from Naruto, feel free to PM me so you can give me advice.
