I currently study computer science at Technical University of Darmstadt with focus on machine learning, computer vision and robotics.
This is a little progress shot of the character I'm currently working on.
I use a book to create this character and I really like it, it's a well written tutorial book and (more or less) easy to understand!
I hope you like the result, more detail will be added later and it will be sculpted, too.
Constructive comments are welcome!
I really like your character design and all the small details. I'm guessing this is low poly and it looks great. what was the book you used?
Its in Blender correct?
The book is called "Character Development in Blender 2.5" and it's pretty cool!
Yes, this is low poly and will be sculpted later and the normal maps will be baked later.
whoa... wait a second!
you are doing the low poly first? then sculpting the high-poly from it?
I have thought about that before, but always saw artists doing high-poly first.
Is this all in the book? I'm going to look it up
Well, I think I know now what you mean :P
Thats just a low poly base mesh which gets sculpted later. When the high poly version is done, it will be retopolized and the normals will be baked.
Very cool, I like the details on the backpack!
Does Blender let you sculpt as well? I too should probably try and learn some software that I can legally acquire ;p
