caterpillar from alice.

Hey Nemo - awesome caterpillar! Now all he needs is his opium pipe and a mushroom to sit on! Are you going to give him some clothes at all??

[nemo]

hey Leigh, yes i plan on giving him his ever famous opium pipe. im not sure if i want to give him clothes or not. i will probobly give him a hat and vest or something like that. before i do any of that i want to texture first. i am probobly going to stick him in a lush forest scene with mushrooms and and such. lot of work left. i still have to finish the last tail portion of the model though. thanks for the feedback i appreciate it.

[leigh]

Hey cool. Another idea - why not make his eyes a bit bloodshot? Are you going to animate him? I would love to see his face animated! I can just picture him puffing on his pipe and talking. He is very cool! I can't wait to see him textured!

[nemo]

i kind of made the eyes bloodshot but i agree with you they could be more so. you know what that opium be doin to a brutha. he he he. man i cant wait to start making morph targets for him. he'll be fun to animate.

[leigh]

Yeah - I noticed you did make the eyeballs reddish towards the edges, but I'm thinking more along the lines of cool wirey veins...
Keep the updates coming!:D

Is neat!

Does he walk on dem 4 stubs? I'm curious how you might weight and balance this creature in animation, and how you are going to rig this bad boy with all his apendages. Should be pretty cool one fine day (render complete).

actually right now he only has four stubs because i need to finish his back end. instead of a walk cycle ive been looking at real caterpillars and the way they walk in kind of a wavy moonwalk. id like to try and build off of that. thanks for the critique.:D

looks alot like the one from Alice the game. Crazy twisted catipiller. I have to finish that game it was so cool.

Really good work ... it reminds me the Dungeon Keeper's villain (the red one) because of the eyes ...
Cheers :)

really cool start. when can we se a textured version?

[nemo]

hey everyone thanks for the comments. im finishing the modeling portion of him tonight hopefully(not including all the props)and will then begin the texturing process. iwas thinking about giving him a sitar scince he has so many hands he can be smoking and playing at the same time. i dunno well anyway.....
