How to create character models for games: 18 top tips | 3D modelling. By Antony Ward For this sequence of tips, I hope to share some of the tricks and techniques I have learned in my 17 years in the games industry, with particular reference to modelling games characters at lower resolutions. You may think this is redundant, and are possibly saying to yourself: “Surely I just use the first division from my sculpted model?” Or perhaps you’re glancing favourably at your re-topology tools. These are all great starting points, but can only get you so far. Besides, what if you are working with a model that isn’t pre-sculpted, or perhaps is aimed for a mobile device? For those times, and many more, I hope these simple rules will help you as you work. 01.
