Ditto. But I also find that it's much easier to skin and rig a low poly character than a high poly.

hypester77 If you're planning to do the animation in blender and not in a game engine, the polycount is not very important. As long as you can move the character in the viewport with 0 subdivisions without lag, you're good

QUESTION-
Sorry to deviate a bit but, my ultimate goal is to make some animations for my kid. What are verts- and tris counts you would recommend for for a character? Maybe not exact, like a range and is there a range scene wise? That you would recommend?
