Poly Count for a Character

everend.gokotta — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 07:33:59 GMT

Hello everyone, I am interested in what number of polygons is appropriate for a model of a human character? Per body (as one), body parts such as arms and legs (separately) and head (separately). I would like to know a number for a final high poly model and the one for a rigging process.

p.s I got obj scan of a character that was made of a clay. On pic1 you can see poly count results

kind

I personally would like to know for games myself. I'm trying to make a human character to go into UE4. But right know there are a gizillion polyfaces bc I smoothed my character and then triangulated lol.
