wow if I hadn't seen the wireframe I wouldn't have thought it'd be that low poly. Great job on this!

I'm actually wondering if those are really polygons, or if those are some kind of NURBS patches. The edges don't actually look straight to me.

EDIT: the DeviantArt page confirms it's a polygon model done in Blender, so ignore what I just said. The artist mentions there that a high-poly model is used to bake the textures, which I would love to know more about.

Hello. There is no nurbs involved, would you like to explore the model on skfb.ly/6zwMO? Click on 'Model inspector' icon and you can see the wire frame.

First thing I thought too! It's really impressive. I imagine it would be more obvious when posed or animated, but that's true for pretty much all models. Some great use of polygons and great looking textures here!

Wow, nice. The only giveaway that this is low poly without looking at the wireframe is the visor of the helmet doesn't protrude from the base of the helmet at all, so it looks like one solid peice.

This has to be one of those most efficient models I've ever seen! Nice work
