It's just a little karate boy... it's not what I have in my mind but... I'll probably have to change a lot, or start everything from beginig :)
Any way:

Also I don't need details on him, just something like basic shape, the rest should get out with animation :)

He is cute but the radiosity ruins his skin color and needs better lighting...
Looking good though!

rendering is not my priority right now :) But animating guy with short legs and arms like he has .... any sugestions or examamples to download? I have problems with rigged character.. he i just too short to do anything, but I need him to be like that..
So, any help or examples on the net about rigging/animating short guy?
Thank you

Guys I really could use some help here :)
Anyway, this little guy is for TV commertial for my karate club. There will also be a little girl with him. It's mostly for children so I don't want to use high details and anything like that, only the most basic (see hands and feets, they will not be changed). Maybe I could post storyboard...
They will have just few moves, parts from kata, like kick, punch and jump so maybe I could use blend shape instead of rigging and animatinh whole character? Just to pose them.
So, if you guys have any ideas about animating those short handed guys please help :)
Also if anything could be better with model shoot but have in ind that they don't need details. I want to keep tham simple and cute if possible :)
Thank you

Yep he needs more red in the skin. Also,...just a weird suggestion,...how about a couple of little hairs sprouting off of his forehead? <shrug> just a thought.
