Is anybody able to tell me how professional or other 3d artists draw human figures. I think there have probably been tutorials on the internet or in magazines but does anybody know the strategy taken / basics in the creation? |

*phew* Finally found it - I knew I'd seen something on flipcode at one point. A very, very basic explanation can be found at http://www.flipcode.com/cgi-bin/knowledge.cgi?showunit=56 |

There is also now a tutorial on flipcode for creating a simple spaceship. Ok it uses 3D Max but it should be usable if you have the top model manual to hand. http://www.flipcode.com/tutorials/spaceship/ |

Do you notice how they flatten the object and then export it directly to 'Photoshop' to paint it directly?
In Topmodel one would have to create textures indivdidually for grouped polygons I would think in a bitmap package and then import them to !TopResource. i'm not sure if this would be much more difficult though.

The export of the mesh is not something Topmodel does afaik but I'm not sure how useful it would be as you have to flatten the model first. Seems like undoing your work?
As for managing a triangle, at least you can plot/sort/shade them in ARM!!! |

There was recently a whole section about this on Gamasutra:
"Character Design and animation"

I wouldn't have a clue - it's obvious from some of your latest stuff that you know Top Model far better than I do. I can manage a triangle these days  |
