Hey guys, don’t worry i’ve not given up on this guy!
It turned out that moving house was a hell of alot more trouble than expected and as a consequence i haven’t been able to progress with the alien any further. My pc is still packed away in a box at the mo so whatever work i get done will have to be done in the office.
I’m going to get on with finishing his head ASAP and hand over the model for completion.
Watch this space:thumbsup:
ok, this is all i’ve had time for lately, just a quick rigging test but its pretty pointless cos its done in max. if people think its finished then i’ll hand over the file for people to rig etc. in maya as i don’t have it.
Heya Phil!
Awsome dude! 
I really like the model - it catches the feel the original scetch perfect!
So - keep em comming - Love your work.
(I need to model some toony stuff soon again, totally wastet myself on that human head thing :shrug: )
thanks alot guys:thumbsup:
i keep meaning to try and texture him but i don’t know whether the maps would convert over to maya as i’ve never tried it.
also, with regards to morph targets etc. will that all be done in maya too? i would’ve used morpher in max but would it be best for someone else to just make them in maya?
Let me know who to give the file to and what format you need it, then i’ll just email it over to one of you guys.
Cheers, Phil 
Texture: we have not anyone for that, yet! all textures might (ought to, should, must, have to?) be made by one person.
Morph targets: If you can do them, do them! if can’t or don’t want do, leave it to the others.
Files go to me first, and 3dsmax format is very okay. send it to me, please. I’ll check and let you know if is there anything missed or whatever.
Thanx again

Ila, i’ve sent you and kirt a link to a zip file with the alien in. Hope everything is ok with it.
Cheers, Phil:thumbsup:
Thanx a lot Phil, I’ve got it and now I’m going to check it out, will let you know then.
Cya

Doh:hmm:
Just remembered i forgot to put in the teeth and tongue, sorry:blush:
If you need me to make them let me know, otherewise feel free to add them in ila.
Cheers, Phil.
The other thing is, i’m not great at rigging but would like to have a go at animating him so would someone be kind enough to make a rig for him in 3dsmax or is it all done in maya, if so i’ll have a go at rigging him myself so that i can have a play.
Cheers, Phil
Once it is rigged in Maya it can be FBX’ed back to Max, don’t know how well it will translate back tho…

To Phil:
Sure, I’ll take care of his innards! 
To Kenn:
Sure, It exports all bone and link systems, except IKs and expressions. One have to re-set the IK systems in the other package.
I myself prefer to animate in max rather than Maya!
GReat model…since you pose first polygons I see you kick the asses!

I cannot resist !!
SOmeOne put together the two Aliens in a Picture||!!
:wip:
If someone sends me both aliens rigged in max format i’d gladly make a poster, advertising, merchandise, etc. or just a render with them both in.
How is my alien rigging coming along? has anyone had chance to get him moving yet?
Cheers, Phil
