Dec/Jan - Noob - O-my

Last contest i didnt have the time to finish it sadly even though i wished i had. For this one i think im ganna do a revolutionary war guy. A redcoat with his rifle.

Think it will be fun to do and im going to finish this competition this time.

Dont get it but it will be a learning experience.

you can have any shapes you want, when they say use under 7000 or 3500 tri's is one square patch = 2 triangle faces, dont have more triangles than 7000 or 3500 etc...

click display--- Heads up display ---- poly count

this will show you how many tri you got

Little edit: I reduced the face by about 100 tris and i can cut out more if i have to....so off to the clothing which i have little to none experience in.

Yoshimitsu is an interesting character created by Namco, that originally appeared in Tekken and later on in Soul Calibur II beat-em up's on the Playstation and Playstation 2.

What makes him interesting is he's got a mask with a different face on each side. Happy, sad, good, evil. I'm not sure. I've seen this mask in carnivals and on battlefields.

He is probably based loosely on the 1045-1127 AD samurai Minamoto Yoshimitsu who was great with the sword and anatomy through bizarre methods of observing the slain heh. He's the younger brother of Minamoto no Hachiman Taro Yoshiie (1041- 1108), who was considered to be the greatest warrior in all of Japanese History. The minnamoto's know-how of warfare and anatomy was passed down to the Takeda family in the 12th century.

Here's bizarre amounts of the game incarnation Yoshimitsu.

some crazy info man! ... wasn't soul caliber originallly an arcade game that was first ported to dreamcast, then to all the other systems? I believe thats how it went anyway. I've played it on multiple systems. I bought it on dreamcast, played it on a gamecube, and a ps2. And, yoshimitsu is an extreme pain to defeat on all of them!!!! hehe, keep up the good work man!

hes also great in soul calibur II

One question...my comp has been running very slow on any program and i dont know why. Im thinking its the memory cause when ever i load Maya up and started modeling even the basics it was lagging.

Any help would be great. If it means i have to upgrade me computer ill finally have an excuse to do so.

how much RAM do you have? Booting Windows XP eats up about 250mb by itself. Adding Maya and Photoshop or whatever eats it up quickly.
