I've only seen outdated junk. I don't think anyone can be bothered writing one for a bunch of reasons, the main probably being its such a small market and everyone is using different software packages. Plus we spend all our time on the computer anyway so its easier to look shit up on polycount then going to the library.

Look for Character 2, that's prolly the one you're looking for but why not just spend some time on Polycount or better yet post your stuff and take advice as you go???

You should read Character Modeling 2 shows next gen high/low modeling.

The downside with print is that its frozen in time. Our industry and our tools are constantly evolving, and what was "right" some months ago might be obsolete tomorrow.
