Concept looks good although its a little stylised to be able to give feed back on how you intend to model it.

Looking good whats your poly count looks like you should have a few polys left for detail work

Coming along well, but the legs are a little short, you might want to stretch them out a little, otherwise it looks like he has is pants up to high.

Currently 1142 polys, combo of quads and tris.
does anyone know how to show tris in max?

Folow these rules 3 and the triangles you will see:

right click over any viewport-> convert to-> convert to editable mesh.

Shazam!! Your true polycount will be revealed.

You have been amazed by the great Malusino. [APPLAUDE]

Hello Idaho,
wow, your model looks great.

your coloured concept sketch has some great colour definitions and variations. any though on making the texture palet match more closly?

i actually tried matching to the colour study, but it wasnt realistic enough, the cloth looked like metal :)

ok, yeah, i guess i am showing doubious fashion sence liking a metalic fabric coat~ but it was more so the pale flesh tones that i liked....

actually the legs seem a little short...?

Thought id give some feedback here rather than the voting thread, I'm going to try and give feedback on everyone's models from now on. Afterall that's why we are here, glory posts are nice but we only improve with good C&C.

*Disclaimer these are my personal opinions you can take or leave them as you see fit.

I have to admit when I first saw your entry I thought it was cool but nothing special, but it grows on me the more I see it.

The mesh looks nice and neat although I can see a fair few places you could have optimised and freed up polys for more detail and/or a weapon which would have pushed you into the "way cool" category

You only used 2600 polys .. you have 400 left, that's one thing that everyone from the first challenge learnt this time round, if you have a 3000 poly limit use them all.

Your UVMAP looks well done, nice big chunks with minimal seams. At first glance the texture sheet looks a little dull but on the model it looks great and works really well. At the end of the day that's what counts right?

Overall I think this is a solid bit of game art and I would go so far as to say it looks "Professional" (meaning I could see this in a commercial game)

Next time use all your polys :)

Great job.

Thanx for the critz dan, much appreciated the time u have taken. As for the poly count it was more an issue of time rather than just forgetting to use them.
Thats why i left 400 polys spare :)
