Low Poly 3D Modeling for Games

While making a character in Low Poly 3D Modeling for Games:

• Ensure that the geometry matches the existing skeleton, from the big parts down to the details (fingers).
• Choose a pose that suits the range of emotions that the character needs to achieve.
• To improve the general deformation of the model, make sure that all the joints (arms, shoulders, legs) are slightly angled. It is necessary because due to slight angles it becomes easier for the IK handlers to read the postures of the models and the way they will be animated further.
• The joint should never be stretched to its maximum, it should be a natural in-between pose.
• The pose of the character differs according to the requirements of the character, in general, it is advisable to give a natural and comfortable pose to a character.
To make the model work correctly – Ensure the following:-
• The characters geometry should be connected to a skeleton and should be exported in the .chr
• IK limits should be set up correctly.
• The character geometry should face the positive y-direction in 3ds Max or the positive z-axis in XSI and Maya. The rotation values must be 0/0/0.
• The character geometry’s pivot position is at 0/0/0.
