I'm restarting my dragon model. This time I'm starting with a very simplified base model in which I plan to add details. I plan on using Mudbox (and possibly Zbrush) to expand on the base model.

This is what I made so far 3ds Max. As you can see, it is very basic. I purposely try to minimize the faces so I use it as a base for many models. At least I hope it works out better than what I did before.
