[nanabaky]

Tyranide Forever !

Maybe one day, i'll start a Prince Hive :p

[ComatoseWolf]

Thats a great start Warhammer stuff kicks ass :bounce:
The only thing i can see so far is that it looks like the head flattens out to much at the top, maybe make it rounder. Cant wait to see more on it

[Hickory]

Rad, another 40K post. There is another post up that is also taking a stab at 40K. You should check it out. Really nice stuff. Good start so far.

[cyroz2000]

[l_farley13_l]

wow that's lookin' really hot, nice slim version! - any other reference (comics?) His eyes might use a bit mroe personality/rage, and maybe a bit more structure to his cheeks :)

[cyroz2000]

Yes it's a bit slim, but I like it like that, but you're right about the face, I'll try to add more "rage" when I'll finish the arms and legs...
Update soon!

[cyroz2000]

A little test render (quick radiosity):

[DDS]

[azazel]

Looks very nice, all these details, veins.....keep it up:thumbsup:

[cyroz2000]

Ok, I thinks the arms are ok, but claws need more more,

See ya!

[Vash T Stampede]

I'm not a big warhammer fan but I really like the designs.

[nanabaky]

raaah lovely :D vraiment beau !

Personnaly, i would have done the out border of the claws sharper (plus trachant sur le contour exterieur des griffes). He'd look more dangerous, more terrible. What do you think about that ? Au fait, which software do you use ?

[Gorp]

Double pincers at the ends or even..just maybe..a mouth at each end of the arms similar to the alien head/mouth design. Imagine it..drooling razor sharp teeth at each end of its claws...if not that maybe a razor sharp ending to its limbs with a barbed hook so that it can impale and bring its victim in closer for...well, you get the idea.
Nice work my man...damn nice work.

[Maximus Groff]

Man... I LOVE YOUR STYLE!!!!!

impressive... very!

the head has new tecks that i have not seen in most works.. way to go...

checking your web site now... heheh ;)

C ya!

[Maximus Groff]

no website ? .... ok... :(

[cyroz2000]

Thx a lot Maximus, you're right, no website yet! :annoyed:
But I will make it later! I hope.

nanabaky:
Les pinces ne sont pas finies, mais je vais songé à les faire un peu plus tranchantes, mais je veux pas trop m'eloigner de l'original non plus...
Au fait, j'utilise Lightwave 7.5, et toi?
Parce que si un jour tu t'attaques au Prince Tyrannid, y'aura pt'etre moyen de faire un truc sympa, non?

The claws are'nt finished yet, but I'll try to make them sharper, but I want also to stick with the original...


Gorp:
Yes, you've got good ideas, but the fact is that this beast is in Warhammer 40K and I wan't to make it as close as possible to the original, perhaps I'll do custom versions when this one will be done!

[nanabaky]

c'est dommage j'utilise max essentiellement. Lightwave m'est inconnu :/ En tout cas c'est clair que j'aimerai faire un short sur du WH40K... a voir !

[Killerj]

:applause: That is SO AWESOME! I wouldn´t want so meet him on a dark alley.

But can we see wirefreme?

[bonko]

Holy snap! I like the body and head, not too crazy about the arm things but that has more to do with the original design than your model. The head and the teeth are extremely cool looking. Could you render the model without the noisy texture. Its kind of distracting. Wow, keep I can't wait to see the rest of the model. Bon jour.

[cyroz2000]

Ok, so update know....

[Troll_primal]

Vivement les textures. C'est quand même il faut le dire un terrible boulot.

[tate242]

:beer: LOVE the Bio-Mechanics... WH has always provided great subject matter. I am amazed at the level of detail achieved. Very impressive model!

[18th_Devil]

very awsome carnifex...nice detail...i'd love to see u texture it.

[Kralle]

Dude, you dont belong here,

That seriosuly looks professional,

[Hickory]

[cyroz2000]

Thanks guys!
I didn't work on the carnifex for a while, and I don't think I'll texture it (for the moment)...
By the way, if someone is interested in texturing it, no probleme, just PM me.

Hey Maximus,
thks for the link, I think I could start doing it, but don't you have more ref pics, would be great if you could post me some...

See ya!

[Maximus Groff]

This is a toy! hehe...

[JPGargoyle]

WoW! :eek:

:bowdown:


Best regards.

[Radacci]

Hey maximus, why dont you buy him the toy, and save him the trouble? ;)

[Radacci]

There will probably be a QT file available on the spawn page soon, where you can see the figure from any view...

[that damn kid]

awesomest model ever!!!!!! warhammer owns!, can't wait to see your color scheme:beer: :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Aearon]

[Maximus Groff]

:drool:

[Media_Soldiers]

very nice work
fantastic modeling

[AtriaLenkki]

might be just me, but I think the claws look a little too "non dangerous" they look like they could hug some body, but not slash into part... nice model thou

[cyroz2000]

Hello guys!
A little update, after several tries at UV mapping...:shrug:
just done a procedural version of it, not very convincing but there's color at least....
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cyroz2000/images/carnifex/render-color2.jpg
But if someone want to texture it, you're welcome!!

[Vash T Stampede]

Gobsmacking!:eek:

[CaptCunning]

Wow! This rocks! I love 40K stuff, wish there was more of it out there! One question: How do you do the "slits" on the thighs and on the inside of the arms? Do you extrude them?

If there was more stuff out there I might find the inspiration to finish my 40K Landraider mk I

Cheers!

[Hickory]

Your texture job looks better than a lot of painted versions I have seen of him.

[Emberghost]

WOW...Now that is 1 impressive moddel I must say, excellent work on all the detail of the character!

[that damn kid]

cyroz2000

check your PM please:bounce:

[LordDubu]

First of all, really impressive model. It's one of the first Carnifex model's I've seen in which the model didn't end up looking like a minature, but rather a representation of what a full sized Carni would look like.

My ONLY complaint with the model is the claw points. In your model they are a little too rounded, while this might be true to a figurine, if you look at the drawings in Games Workshop art, the claws are represented as extremely sharp at the point.

[KINGOFPAIN]

you should make a tutorial for that... that is sweet!!:thumbsup:

[Charkins]

That is fugin awesome... I wonder how this would animate...?

[BrettHolton]

Ooooo how i hate carnifex's, but you've done a really good job on it mate gw

[Taka]

I had a doom and alien feeling when I saw it.:thumbsup:

[Tu_Vieja]

what is your computer (http://0-days.net/?go=computer)? the head of the alien is very very good

[EBOLII]

I think that is incredible! would like to see more images

[Spankspeople]

Hehe, now I'm tempted to start working on the Warrior I've got sitting on top of my monitor... staring at me... snarling... mocking me, because I don't have the money to even half finish my army...

BASTARD! I'LL GET YOU YET!

[MadMeph]

Kick ass man :-D

The eyes a just a tad too big though...

[KolbyJukes]

I agree about sharpening the claws and making the eyes smaller.

Nice model!

-Kol.
