Gods, what a monster!
![]() How did you go about putting the hair on his legs, and what is your opinion of Messiah for the animation side of things? ![]() __________________

I like using messiah for animation over Maya and Lightwave Rigging can be done quickly and for this cyclops creature I just used messiah's autorig feature with a few extra added place holding bones. No weight maps were needed. ![]() |

That looks pretty cool. I never used my copy of Messiah from the sale, may give it a try.

It is certainly worth spending a bit of time to check it out. It has some really nice animation tools now and the renderer is pretty capable with a decent set of fur and hair tools. ![]() |

Awesome Tony, I'm loving your constant upgrades. I always have ideas that I'm going to go back and finish old projects. I'm glad someone is actually doing it.

![]() Thanks Wyatt, this model was started when I got my first copy of Lightwave 5.5 back in the day of orange screens of death on the mac. Even I am finding this effort of mine to polish a turd hilarious and close to troubling. ![]() If nothing else it has taught me that my eye for proportion is somewhat challenged but over time I've been able to push points around to get closer to the real Ray cyclops.
