Beast of burden - character - ZrO-1

#62

wow. okay, i already lost :drool:

#63

Update update, read all about it :slight_smile:

OK guys, I tweaked the eyes, and started messing around with some color. I also decided to make the metal hardware more like wrought iron to better fit with the “wild west” theme I have going.

Here’s the first pic:

Here’s the second pic. This is a close-up of the mounting hardware for the ‘covered wagon’.
Here ya go:

:applause: Awesome looking insect beast!

Does having the covered wagon platform attached to different moving plates on the segmented back pose any problems when the character is moving?

#66

@ zenzmurfy: I don’t think it’ll be a problem since the wagon is attached to the rear-most two plates. They naturally tend to move as one. Which is why the cowboy put them where they are :wink:

I’m working on tweaking the colors a bit more and I added in a seat to the wagon. I’m just waiting on the rendes and then I’ll post the new pics.

OK here’s the version with the less saturated colors:

And here’s the shot of the wagon and it’s bench seat:

Great modeling zr0, ive been playing too many video games i gotta get going on mine.

#77

Well, I’ve spent most of today working on refining the materials and bump-maps on my BoB and carriage. Here’s some of the stuff I did. I added “micro-bumps” to the shell plates, I added a wood-grain bump to the wood, a sand texture to the ground, and I tewaked the translucency/transparency on the eyes.
You really need to view the full res version of the pic to see the little details 'caus a lot of them get lost in the resize+compression. Anyway, here’s the link to the full-res texture detail shot: http://www.mjg1.net/textures2.jpg
And here’s the pic:

#78

One of the other things I did today is mess with the materials some more. I tried to make the shell of the BoB look like it was made of stiff, oiled leather. Once again the full-res will show more detail here’s the link to that: http://www.mjg1.net/beast7.jpg

And here’s the pic:
