as for your second question, i did the base mesh in maya, then took it into zbrush where i sculpted the details into it, ,
then i took the model back into maya and retoplogised the mesh,
it's along process

character stands at just under 9k tris, i gave myself a 10k limmit, might use the remaining poly's to add some personality to the character, Also finished all the uv mapping, started baking out the normal and AO maps,
just a few minor things to fix, mostly ont the shirt, some how the normals flipped on the shirt sleevs and colar, which caused the normals to come out funky, how that happend is beyond me, anyway will fix it soon,

...but, u could have raised the poly count much higher...that would have helped to mimic more natural shapes...especially, the cloth and hand.

thanks for the comments, you're right i could have raised the poly count,Originally posted by iamcreasy
very clean
but i thought i'd play it safe and keep things simple, i didn't realise that i'd be that much below my target poly counts, but i'm still happy with how it turned out, pluse with all the polys i have left over i'll be able to add other stuff,
will start textureing soon,
