I’m pretty bad at Blender and whatnot, I know. But here’s a model I made, it’s some weird creature. It’s fully rigged, it’s legs can move and has a joint at the knees. And the toes can bend.
Here’s a picture of it.
I think you went a tad crazy on the particle random factor. Try using hair in blender 2.4. It’s pretty early to call this in finished, you sure you don’t want to keep cracking at it?
If you dont think that your that good then my best advice would be to treat everything as a WIP and act on peoples advice. Thats how I made my ( slight ) improvements.
