This is Joe, he is a costar of a short film I’m working on this summer. I finished him yesturday after a few weeks of work. Feed back would be much appreciated so I can fix any problems before I start animating.

thanks, yea I used particles for the hair.

The materials seem kind of weak, especially the pants. The lighting kind of ruins the mood.

Lighting can really help the overall quality of the models here, and bring out
the details. Try having a look at AO (ambient occlusion). It’ll be a good starting
point for more realistic lighting.

Hope it’s usefull…
