Character For Animation
I decided to make a short animation, well actually two, using the same character. The first one will be about a dude going skeet shooting and the second one will be about a dude running on a treadmill that keeps going faster and faster until he FLIES off of the thing and into a wall. I just started making the character, and here is a five minuet leg im happy with

If you want some good leg images Id be happy to send some to you, they wont be at the angle you have now so will be a little easier to model

You will still technically see the body/limbs. Even if you model the clothing or use Cloth, it will be based around the existing mesh.Originally posted by MattTheMan
Hey, thing is you wont bee seeing the feet or body. Just the legs, as the character will be wearing shorts, and the arms and neck and head, as the character will be wearing a shirt.
I think the problem is by using different refs for the limbs and body you'll end up with incorrect proportions.
If this project is more working on your animation skills then a polished/detailed model probably isn't needed. A basic "block" character build out of primitive shapes would be absolutely fine.
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....
