Isn't there a triangle to quads command? :dumb:

You are likely to get triangles somewhere, It's just a mater of putting them where they don't matter too much  They aren't bad if they aren't on a deforming area, same with n-gons.

It's funny, in Skyrim everything should be triangles. Although I think it's automatically rendered as triangles if you didn't make them... :hmm:

Anyway a quad with it's corners not in one plane should be worse than a triangle (which would only ever have vertices in the same plane). At least that's my limited understanding of the whole thing. :shrug:

I think I really have got it now...

 

I don't think there's one single triangle in that super low poly chap. :stare:
That was painful to do, and it's still not ideal, but at least I can now add edge loops to it and subdivide it cleanly for more detailed sculpting, neither of which works as well with triangles.

You might want to try and adjust the spacing of some of those polygons to make them a bit more evenly spaced. once you start subdividing those smaller areas (such as those on the centre of the head) will get bunched up and make life a bit more difficult.

Today I added some ugly low-poly ears, which will do for now, and then I started messing about with some mocap data from Mixamo to make it strut around...

"I'm a low poly model, you know what I mean, and I do my little turn on the ground plane..."
