Ok here is the redo on the hands - got rid of the gloves - think i did well getting the hands down to 410 polys - bloody hate them and feet - kept some detail in the thumbs as I know there will be movement in them for final images, but not so much in the rest of the fingers, I can always add more if there is.

Think I`m almost done with the base mesh.

8400 poly`s

right took the main parts of the model in to Z Brush, but have a few questions at this point.

1) Is 36 sub tools too much (pockets, belt loops and straps) - should I go and combine the ones that match up with in Maya first ???

2) If I have two objects that I want to work on but they are both the same - eg the boots/shoes should I just take one of them in and then copy it over in maya after.

3) Is it wise to setup the uv`s first before applying the extra details or just do it after.

Hi tweeny Im no zbrush expert but will try and help
1.I would say 36 was a little high, things like pocket would have been better made in zbrush because as you make creases in the trousers you will have to change subtools to move them.
2.If you import them into zbrush as a pair symetry will still work on them
3.Do all your modelling first in the high levels then drop down to your lowest level then create UVs. you will need to combine(group) you model at some point to get all your UVs onto one map, use subtool master to do that.
Hope this make sence.........dave

more tools is more control, plus you can bake stuff out on a normal map en combine the maps ( so that small stuff can be pasted in a bigger map).
You have to create human readable uv's then however ( you need to be able to recognise the small stuff which don't require their own maps

Yeah Mastone is right, more tools more control. Though I would lose the front pockets on the trousers and just do a sculpt

Here is the start of Zbrush work. Is there any way to stop the face from scrinking so much when smoothed.

This looks really good! I can't wait to see the final entry! I especially like the hair. The way you did it give it the same feel as the way the original games do.
