Poly Modelling a Character
Getting Started 
 Creating characters from scratch is often the most advanced process for 3D modelling. For characters used in game engines, we focus on not using sculpting tools (like clay) and  rely on reference images and applying faces to good topology . A constant consideration is taken when modelling as characters will be outfitted with an animation rig later, as well as morphs or blend-shapes for facial expression.

 Where to go from here? 
 Research standard character rigging in blender and confirm that animations look well from premade animations from either Mixamo or our Motion Capture Lab. 
 Research morphs or blend-shapes in Blender so that facial animations can be applied to your character(s).
