Modeling a Character in 3DS Max, 2nd Edition

Finally, the last limitation on your character design is…the game

design itself. If the character design is someone else’s sketch or

based on someone else’s description, then you have to satisfy their

vision of what that character’s supposed to look like. Sometimes

this is easy and sometimes this is hard. It’s easiest when you have a

great rapport with the person communicating the description of the

character. It’s hardest when you can’t get good reference or the per

-

son with the vision keeps changing his or her mind. It’s worst of all,

however, when you ask someone what they want a character to look

like and they simply say “Just make it cool.”
