Description:
A low-poly (562 verts) humanoid basemesh. It was made to help a friend out who was just starting with Blender to get into animation. Should be useful for sculpting, making a character or for any animation practice!

Edited October 02, 2012Would you suggest it is better to have them hang straight down by the sides then, or up in the 'T' shape?

Written October 05, 2012Everything looks to be in order except the arms and heads. You should work on the arm shape a little more, and the hands should be less detailed considering it is supposed to be very low poly. I think the thumb could also use an extra joint, though. Another method which I use often is to make the hands simple boxes for fists and never rig the fingers.

Written October 05, 2012Thank you for the suggestions! Yes, I completely agree about the arms, they're a bit too straight, and probably do need some more shape. However the sole reason I made this was for a friend to practice some basic animation, so it wasn't at the front of my mind :P And the hands have that many loops because they needed to be able to open and clench, so they needed a couple of extra joints :) however I'd agree that the thumb may need and extra one too. What do you think I should change with the head?

Written November 03, 2012Very nice! :D If i may critique a little though, try moving his hands down when he is in the air - currently it looks a little like he is lifting himself up between two walls or something :)
But nice to know you've found a good use for it! :D

Written September 01, 2013I was about to use it in a game where screen is black and only audio is used... can I make a reference to it in a "readme" file or in the "audio credits"? Thanks indeed

Written September 05, 2013Nice looking basic base, I am using it to help me visualize a scene in my book. I matched it up to the low poly horse mesh and turned it into a centaur, because I have one in that scene. You'd be surprised at how well they matched up. I'll be using the unaltered version too for the other statues and a few "ka-girled" versions once I rig and clean him up a bit. (a squished head?) Anyhow, I'll post a link on my deviant art http://insanexade.deviantart.com/

Written July 17, 2016I will be using this model as a base for many different characters in the WIP demo of "Net Yaroze: City Vigilante". The game is expected to have PS1/PS2 graphics, so this'll do.

Written August 24, 2017Tweedie. I want to use your mesh in an animation. The animation would give you credit for your model and I would not be making any money off of it. The animation is a fan animation for a game called "A dark room" I thought it would be a fun way of saying "thank you for the game" Is this ok with you?

Written September 22, 2025This basemesh looks like a solid starting point for anyone dipping into Blender animations, especially with that low-poly vibe keeping things simple and tasty to tweak. It's got me thinking of how a basic dough setup can rise into all sorts of baked delights once you add your own fillings and shapes. Reminds me of how Indians approach layering traditions in everyday builds, turning simple foundations into something layered and enduring. Thanks for sharing, it's got me hungry to animate my next character concept right away!

Written October 15, 2025this low-poly humanoid basemesh sounds like a fantastic resource! I love how you created it to help your friend get started with Blender and animation. It’s perfect for sculpting or character creation, and I can see it being super useful for anyone practising animation. The simplicity of the 562 verts makes it so accessible for beginners. It reminds me of how well-optimised assets, much like effective SEO Services, can make complex tasks feel so much easier and approachable. Great work sharing this with the community!
For rigging purposes its a very very bad idea to have the hands rotated like that
