only thing i think i would worry about with your model is the fact that the polys you've got already seem to keep in fashion with the grid... i would stick with the flow of the head's contour instead of the flow of the grid to ensure that your base model is more easily followed in case you need to provide more detail in certain areas around the cranium (like veins, random bulges, implants, etc)...

which ones are you talking about cause i followed to flow of the eyes, mouth which are in circular motion and then connected those to the nose. which other flows are u talking about. this model is for a game so those details will be from maps since the flow has to be under a certain count. THanks for the help Neo

WOOOOOOOOOW lol its been along time since ive been on SM. My mother board went wrong so I had to ship my comp back to alienware and wait around 2 weeks without nothing to do. Well I did get soem catching up on FF12 lol but anywasy i finished the head and im happy with the result.

This is going to be my main character, i have an enemy comming next and all drawings for them. Anyways I do want to thank vlad for the help. He looked at my file and told me what I could do without and where to add more polies to. Well his main suggestions was to take alot off the face and add mroe to the ears, nose and eyes so i dont have to rely on textures so I did so and my poly count is a bit higher but ill susbstitute that with the hair. i going for 1600 for the whole face and right now without the hair im at 1300 which is 200 more then i had but that 200 can be taken out of the hair since the style im giong for can actually take only about 200 -300k probablly even less.

C&C welcomed
