Unfortunately I got nothing there, sorry. D:

You could ask my mate, as he is a 3D modeller in school, in the final quarter of his final year.

1-3000 polygons eh? I could probably make you a 1 polygon one. n.n

Ack, no, that's not what I meant. I'm just looking for generic models I can lop the head, hands and feet off and make anthro characters. If I weren't terribly, terribly lazy I'd make it myself :P I was just wondering if anyone has access to a free model I could use.

Yeah it was a joke that kinda fell flat. :P The idea of a single polygon model amused me, but maybe they actually exist, I dunno. c.c;

You'd be surprised how useful a plain plane model can be :P

Try DAZ marketplace. Last I checked they have many a Model there of various shapes and sizes and styles in the human veriaty. and many others

Uh, Polys are triangles. A square plane with no cross sections has 2 polys. That's how 3D models work. If a model looks like it has four or more sides that aren't triangular, it's been shaded to not show the 2-5+ polys that make up the face.

Very much not so.

Polygon as the name implies is the generic N-gon. Yes, they're often triangles, and most of the time by the time they get to the rendering stage they have been turned into triangles by the software. But it's a) possible to render actual quadrangles and N-gons (and some softwares do), and most importantly, b) working with model that is made with quadrangle mesh is much nicer with subpatch surfaces or nurbs and nurb-like surfaces. And again, some softwares even support N-gon subpatch surfaces. All, except the most trivial of modeling softwares, support N-gons in a plain polygon mesh.

Triangle is just the lowest common denominator which works everywhere. It's the basic unit in [b]real time 3D[b] (which is probably the source of your confusion, since there everything really is triangles), because they have several extremely desirable properties(*). But it's by far not the only thing that exists elsewhere, especially with offline 3D rendering. (And even in realtime, quads are often a serious contender, since they also have other desirable features, and the 3D API can trivially turn them into triangles once they get blasted on screen(**).)


(*) Such as trivial to render, impossible to break (3 points always define a plane, and 3 point polygons can never self-intersect) and so on.

(**) All common realtime 3D APIs support 3, 4 and N-gon polygons as inputs.

It would've been nice if my teachers had been as thorough as you when explaining polygons

ive only got the dragon model ive been working on for years ^^;

For what program? I use a "nudie man" model for male reference, he is basically a well constructed high poly ken doll. but he is a pretty good model.

I use Max, but I'm more or less just looking for an OBJ file. I've already got some high-poly models, but modifying them when they're that complex tends to be a pain :P

Why not just retopo the high poly model.

Basically you take the high poly model and use it as a template. You recreate the model with proper edge flow, topology, and fewer polys in places that have less detail. This way you won't be fighting the mesh when you're animating.

This work for ya?

...Looking for a BJ....huh....what? };=)

Maybe  shark-blade knows or has...

Eww a triangled model? Dont they know that quads are where its at!?

my buddy  Leaderdragon might be able to help he a all round kool guy and does abit of everything including 3d stuff so he might be able to help note him and tell him i sent you ^^

I think you'll have problems finding a 1-polygon human. ;)

we have a bunch, but:
1) they are all more than 3000 polys
2) they are in a format I designed for our game engine and can't be easily ported to max
3) they use special shaders that may not run on your machine (requires dx11)
if you have a dx11 card then let me know and I can try and write a xm8 -> max converter

I have a few, is a maya file fine?
