WIP Human Model

[Saiax]

Now with college finished I can spend more time learning modeling off the net, here is my latest work.
Just a basic figure right now so not much details.




Question.
If I do become good enough, whats the maximum poly count for source player models?

Welcoming any type of feedback, good or bad

Ideal would be 5000-9000

Limit: 13000 (sure? dont remember it exacty). With more it starts to lag.

Hey man, nice to see a human being modeled, but before you work on it more. Please don't use mesh smooth.. or any mad smoothing plugins at all It will only give you less control over your mesh
With character modeling it's all about poly flow, I will link you some stuff that will really give you a big boost in the progress

Some really good modeling tutorials (they show different ways of modelling, but you can choose what fits your needs) :

Some handy theory about face modeling :
