Description This was a legitimate pain in the ass. I hope you appreciate it!

This is a VERY VERY LONG TUTORIAL. If you click the DOWNLOAD button, you'll download a 3mg pdf file that is over 100pages long.

You can also see a webpage version by going here:

And if that link doesn't work, go here
--> [link] <--

(I recommend just using the web version since I don't think I did the PDF quite right... lol)

This tutorial covers low-poly for real-time Modeling, Smoothing Groups, UV Unwrapping, Texture Creation of Face, Clothing, and Hands, and creation of Hair.

I take a character from start to finish and explain pretty much every single step.

No problem.

Here's the BlenderArtists page (used to be called Elysiun) [link]
The thread is called "Cood low poly character tutorial" and I must say I agree. The guy found it via CGTalk so he claims, check it out if ur interested.

Tschuess

Ooh my, this will come in very handy. I wish I had this for college last year, because.. well, 3DsMax's tutorials? Yeah, they were confusing. XD

This must have taken a few hours to put together, what with all that documenting and explaining. Very much appreciated. :D

This is a really well done tutorial and covers a lot of stuff that I had to learnd through trials and errors. With minor exceptions, we have very similar workflow. This is the best tutorial for low poly characters I've seen so far.

awesome tutorial. I realized half-way through that a lot of the things you were talking about in the tutorial are actually things I had learned this year in class. I'm just glad it didn't feel like I was reading japanese. XD anyways, thanks again. ^^

Haha, well my minor's in concept art for games so it's more illustration-heavy, but I do have to learn some 3D, too. It is hard. I thought I was set after learning photoshop, boy was I wrong. lol

lol Nah. I've never posted any of my 3D stuff on DA before, and I lost some of the files for my old 3D projects, now. When my last laptop died, it took some of my files with it.
