[Beechdbum]

[LazarusLong]

Update... more armor and teeth!!!

Hey Kiwi,:D

Can you tell us abit about this creature and why he looks the way he does.

The armour is looking good, the head is a bit confusing especially on the snout area.

can u show us some more angles and some wires if you dont mind.

I looks like he is about to fall on on his nose, maybe make his stand up a little bit more.

The armor looks a bit wrong, try to take a look at this: http://www.armor.com/2000/catalog/armor.html

ok, the first thing I noticed on this piece was how you have absolutely captured the perfect shader for copper on the armor. although I don't know if copper was what you were going for, but you've done it well here. that's a good link from Profusion.

Thx for the comments :)

Here's the wireframe DogBreath (BTW I'm not a kiwi, just live here).

As for info about him... Other than that I'm building a desert like city, designed for the jumping ability of the creature. I haven't quite worked out their history yet. But I am working on a story for them. And I have lots of other clothing designs for other ones to populate the city.

As for the armor, that site is great. Thx profusion. Unfortunately the armor on it is for humans... which this character is decidely not. I still have to do a lot of work on the modeling of the armor too...

The textures are temporary, as a current render is about 3 minutes a pass at 720x486 with about 6 passes per frame. It's a little slow for my liking so I'll probably change them.

Here's an updated armor

[DogBreath]

Thanks for the wire shot, very interesting structure with legs like a bird. I see what u mean by him jumping.

Sounds like you have a short film in mind do you have some other characters yet?

Are you visiting NZ or have you come to stay.

WAAAAAAAA :eek: :eek: What the $% is that .. :p

Nice design. Original but weird at the same time.. :shrug:

[LazarusLong]

Yeah I do have a short film in mind... though I might have to revise the clothing completely for it as it stands currently.

I have other characters, but they're all the same species... so it's mainly clothing and texturing changes.

I've been living here for about 18months. But due to work complications I no longer have a work visa so I'm heading home to canada next week :)

Here's the most recent shot... gonna add straps to hold the armor together next, then its on to retexturing. :)

[LazarusLong]

Well I'm in canada now, and as soon as my computer arrives I'll be posting an update or two... Should be a few days at least though...
