Speed modeling session : theme : Chimeras

[ASWDesign]

Just a "Q"

If we model the whole animal.

whats the MIN number of diffrent animal compunds needed? and the MAX?

ASW

min is two.
max is... mm.. just as much as you can since the different origins are recognizable.

[creative destructions]

Anyone one know who made this statue?

[ThirdEye]

how do you know? :eek:

It's a famous etrurian statue.

[creative destructions]

Looks like the original creature had the head of a chimpanzee, a head of a gazelle, a mane of a sheep, body of a lion, and a snake for a tail.

There is also a reference to Chimeras in Impossible Mission 2, it being the biological weapon.

"fire-breathing she-monster with a lion's head and a goat's body and a serpent's tail; daughter of Typhon"

Sound's like my ex girlfriend!

Just a bit of trivia.

[salmonmoose]

Ooooh, can I make an Esquilax? that most fearsome of creatures with the body of a rabbit, and the head of a rabbit?


no... I suppose not, damn you simpsons :)

[JeT]

yeah ive got a couple of hours to kill - starting now - and i just watched spiderman 2 again so excuse an influence here or there ;)

[JPixel]

u should visit my website www.jpixel.com (http://www.jpixel.com), the pics are a little old but I've got a chimaera, pegasus and bellarophon there!

[JeT]

well i have to go - i didnt get nearly as far as i wanted to. i know its not exactly a chimera by definition! but i was thinking more along the lines of a mrs oct kind of reincarnated. got the arms working pretty good - too bad they're backwards with the sucktion caps. and they are ment to be snakes for the fingers on them - not the most original idea i know but it kept me entertained. oh well got to go!

[ashe]

Im on this one too. I got the perfect idea for a chimera. It's scary as hell.

Perhaps I should have thought this through a bit better before I started. 2 hours in and its not much of a chimaera yet..... more a wierd angry dog at the moment.

[JohnR]

[Tonik]

Wow, I love the style of your creature berko.

I'm feeling a little inadequate now. Anyway here's how my griffin's coming along after 45 mins - have just about blocked it out:

http://www.tomclive.co.uk/griffin.jpg

Of course as everyone knows it's a cross between a lion and an eagle. It's my family's crest so seems appropriate.

[berko]

Here is the finished model......4 hours straight.....missing details but overall it's there.....hope you like it.... some post-work in photoshop...



http://home.cogeco.ca/~mberic/chimera_final.jpg

wires are attached at well as the final image.....

I converted the final poly model into subd's and worked on some of the details........

[JeT]

ahh sigh a couple more hours tonight and im done. at least shes more female now.

[Bigglzee]

man I dont have enough time, that why I love these, this is my first proper one, I havent got any time left, so I just modelled a human,gave him some monkey like attributes, and on the end of his tail, a snake, I apologize for my inadequicy, but Im rendering now, ETA 30 mins

[lostanimator]

Hey guys... after yesterday evening's work on head.. i got time to sit in to today again... last evening i spent 2 hrs.... today my challenge was to finish up the WHOLE F***KING muscular body in another pending 2 hrs.:D
it was really a challenge for me.. finally i pushed it up from there and finall in about another 2hr. 25 mins. i was able to complete the body.. in that duration i even had 2 cups of tea.. and SIDE BY SIDE was chatting with my friend too.. SO it took those 15-20 mins. extra...
BUT FINALLY I CAN SAY... ITS DONE..!!:scream:
hope next time i'll be able to SHRINK it to exact allotted time.:)

SO IT BECAME A SEMI- CHIMERA...

wire :: 11482 polys // render :: 126302 polys

[nataz]

last step:

here's the OctoTurtle after 4h. The 'shield' (carapace??? what's the name of the turtle back in english?) texture is not ok but it gives a good idea of what i had in mind.

It's very inspiring seeing all the other's great stuff, thanks!

[captain chapo]
