To model high-resolution characters, there are two common methods. These can be used independently, and they can also be used together. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.
To model a lower-resolution in-game model, modeling can be started from a geometric primitive (sometimes called box modeling) or it can be simplified from a high-resolution model (ReTopologyModeling).
If a high-resolution model is made, it can be converted into textures for the lower-resolution in-game model, using a process called Texture Baking.
