Hi, Heres a model I've been working on recently for a client, please tell me what you think.

poly count: 5100
texture size: 1024x1024
I may be putting this up for sale, I'd like to know if this work is good enough for that and if so how much should models of this quality cost?

Cheers

Ryan.

Certainly a great looking model, good proportions and well dressed for the job

Hi Ryan,
It looks good to me. The modelling and skinning are at least equal to a half dozen or so model vendors that I see offering models in gamestudio format.
Animations are also important, of course, and I can't judge that. My only concern is the 5100 polycount. That is quite a lot.

I know of a number of modellers selling similar gamestudio models for about $25.00 or so.
But on Turbosquid, models seem to be selling from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars, though very few of these are in gamestudio format. Most are in 3DSMAX. ,obj, .3ds or .x. Check out turbosquid. Then check alienheretic's site. The link is in user contributions.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,

looks pretty good, but for a "runner" he is too bulky

Looks well made

Hmm...Nice looking model but too many polygons, unless your client aims on powerfull computers and they plan to put variety of shaders and effects on that model. Try to lower the poly count. Trust me, textures will do the job of improving sharp edged model.

Why does everyone always think that 5000 polies are too much?
As long as they are needed to make the model look good, you can also use 10000 polies. If you are a bit carefull when using them, it is absolutely no problem.

The model looks very nice, but as ulf mentioned, he doesn´t perfectly fit for a runner

Looks good, but i agree that 5100 polys is too much, specially for that kind of model, in sport games there use to be dozens of model on screen at once.

Can you post a wireframe shot?
