What technique have you used to model your character? And your tutorials are really very helpful :) Thank you

@thenishanth420 I used the tutorials provided by Michael Bauer for the starting process, then branched out from there.

Around 3:30 I love how you build up to "And, now, with different smoothing groups, you will see that.. *damn forgot to enable smoothing group exl*, nothing changes!"

Great stuff again.

wow thanks for this! I googled and googled and youre explanation of smoothing group really is simple and very easy to understand thanks so much for this! Just 1 question, smoothing are they only useful for smooth modifiers? its a noob question but can they be use for other things as well? thanks!

@bprizze Smoothing can be used for anything really. They work great for polygons that have unique shapes and objects that are curved and have trouble displaying unique geometry.
