Body #1

Here is one of the body's I am thinking of applying, I want the character to be in a windbreaker, I am thinking I will use textures for the suit, because wrinkles would use too much. Comments or advice welcome

Update

4668 Tris, the reason he is so much is because I have place legs up to mid thigh just incase I animate or decide to change outfits. I believe I only have a little bit more to go, but C&C is welcome.

Geometry seems a bit high if you're going for a game model.

Thanks alot Mike for the comment. I have never modelled for a game but it is something I am trying to get into. Knowing that you saw there could be less made me push myself to lower the Poly count. I dropped it by like 1200! user added image

Here are character updates and the new wire.

Getting better, but I think you can lower it more, especially in the arms, upper torso, legs and possibly face. The abdomen looks about right when it comes to polys. Keep in mind, this is based on what your model looks like now. You can achieve the look of what you have with less polys. As you add more details, obviously the poly requirement will grow, but from my experience, it's always easier to add detail than to try to take away, especially when you have a strict limit in the industry.
