I don't think you should choose a pose based on how much time it will take you to finetune it, but on which one you like best; sometimes that means you have to change it a lot, this time only a bit. ;o)<br /><br />As for Link's sword sheath: I think I will make it like SSB:M Link's sheath. So it will have a closed top, but you can cut that off of course if you want to.<br /><br />The belts and straps and stuff will be more like they are on ZaL.Ninjatoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391169818197340373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105238565614435013.post-52439120866120395442009-10-07T23:22:53.748+02:002009-10-07T23:22:53.748+02:00It's not the lack of skill or creativity, it&#...It's not the lack of skill or creativity, it's just that posing a model from scratch isn't all that easy. It may sound easy to you Anon, but give it a try and you'll see for yourself just how much time it takes to get a decent pose corrected.<br /><br />btw, awesome looking Link, just a question though, will the sheath for his sword be in 3d? like, if we wanted to we can place the sword back into the sheath?
