A few weeks ago I made a post in the recruitment forums on this site hoping to get myself back into 3D. I was hoping to do environment or prop work as it's something I found enjoyable at uni. However the 2 groups I've joined asked if it would be ok if I did some characters for them. I'm an agreeable person, so I said "sure". Then the doubt crept in....I have always found character work difficult because of meshflow. Surprisingly it wasn't something we were taught at uni, so the only information I have is from browsing websites and piecing it together myself.
I was utterly convinced these characters were going to be the death of me. But I was wrong! I've actually really enjoyed working on the first character and although she isn't finished it's coming along rather nicely.
I've just set up the Max file for the 2nd character that I have to build and I am hoping it will be as enjoyable as the first. I've also got my fingers crossed that I can do it in less time. I am unfortunately a very slow modeller, and I would love to be able to knock out a character in a day rather than a week!
Practice makes perfect as they say!
