Material and Polypaint can only get you so far

Nice work !I'm impressed by the quality of your triangulations
What software did you use for modeling and texture ?

So many triangles how are you going to animate it? If I showed this to my professor he would freak lol XD but I think this is adorable!

I wasn't referring to the number, but the cuts in between the polygons. When he/she goes into animating that model then he/she is going to run into some trouble because of those areas. In a model you want to have 4 squared polygons and avoid having those triangles as much as possible.

Hey there, the Minis are adorable. But one thing came to my mind immediately. I'm doing textures for my collegue at work, and he sometimes ask me to do 3D textures like the one you do and it is seen at the bottom left.
How on earth do you paint the texture? Do you unwrap the model with the tris edges and then paint directly on the square sheet? Or do you paint it in a 3D environment or how does it work? I have no clue as I'm normally not doing any 3D, but this is a question that will haunt me everytime my collegue wants a new texture

Hey thanks!
Yeah I just painted on the 3D model directly. In Blender (which is what I also used to model these), there's a function that lets you do that, but there are a number of other programs that can do the same thing.

Anything else special in your painting workflow or is almost the entire painting process in Blender? Your results are fantastic.

Pretty much everything is in blender, aside from minor hue adjustments and such for which I just take it into a 2D painting program (OpenCanvas in my case). As for special stuff, it's all pretty much just painting away like in 2D, except for the clothing patterns on Miranda and Tali. For those I made a tileable pattern texture first, the mapped that to a copy of the model using a simple tiling UV map. And then I baked that texture over the original model (which retains its original, proper UV map), and then used OpenCanvas to overlay the resulting pattern bake onto the original painted character texture.
And thanks.

Thanks for the reply! This really helps a lot!
Two ideas from my side!
a) If you make these printable as papercraft people will freak out!
b) Make more, they are gorgeous!
