'How to start a torso'.vtm
Before you carry on let me state one thing. This .vtm is three years old and subsequently nowhere near the refined start that I have developed since. If you wish to use my latest procedure then check out the images below. There is nothing wrong with the .vtm but it is currently too high poly.
Check these out for a low poly start.
1) Start by creating a 5 poly shape around the chest muscle. Ensure that you tweak the edges / verts in both views. Split away using a 5 point pole to create the constraining geometry for the abdominals.
2) Create a band that encompasses the shoulder as shown. This will be used to extrude the arm later. Remember to twist the edges round so that you are not trying to target weld the last one back to front.
3) Extrude the boundary out for the arm and tweak the verts to align the edges.
4) Extrude twice from the edge shown and from that create a similar ribbon from which the leg can be extruded.
5) Extrude out the leg as shown. Also, Fill out the rib area following the angle of the ribs.
6) Finally, fill out the chest muscle like so. This will allow the chamfering of the centre vert to create the nipple.
Remember : This is only how to START the torso. Keep filling out the body in a similar fashion and the poly count will be low!
