hi ppls, this is prolly the best 3d poly modelling tute for characters, i know of. Its by Michel Roger who is french as you can see... but you only need to look at the pics otherwise use an online translator ( i know there is a translated version around but i forget the link)
http://mr2k.3dvf.com/tutorials/max/tutorials_joan.htm is the link to mr rogers' tute.
I have followed it several times using maya and connect poly shape script, which is free from highend3d.com and i believe kicks it over max and meshsmooth altho i luv max as well.
Also check out cgtalk.com they have a game art design forum there and there is heaps of amazing models with wireframe views so u can study the edgeloops there.
go get the info and share it round here so we can all develop :)
I have only come accross sumea.com a few weeks ago and its fantastic :) glad i have found this place :)
there are some very talented artists here....
hope it all helps.

I babelfished all the pages of French Joan of Arc tutorial about 6 months ago (http://www.sumea.com.au/snews.asp?news=118&related=Modeller) - this was before I found out that there was an english version. [:)].. but yeh, I agree, it's definately a great tutorial. That page happens to have had the most number of hits compared to all the other news posts..

I'm actually thinking of designing a really weird ear on the character now, I mean the spock ears are done a bit to much so I'm drawing up designs for a weird but interesting ear style :) wish me luck I'll need it :P~

lol, this is a good tut but when I was at qantm nearly everyone did it as a final piece. Sick of the site of it now. Excellent to learn on though.
Beasta: thanks for the highend3d.com link, I've been trying out maya lately, god damn clunky work flow compared to max, hate having to go thru a million menus just to press extrude. :P

Off topic anyone know what the maya version of max's target weld is?? Its a big oversight if there isn't one.
