Anders :slight_smile: you’ll beat me WITH chess (board) not IN chess! because Vikings don’t play chess, they FIGHT! :stuck_out_tongue:
Mikael yes. I think the head must not be small, but about the tail, I’m not sure yet.
azazel eh eh! I’m check mate! how did you do that?
Joril :smiley: LOL! thanx friend
dakmoden Thank you very much pal! :beer:
paconavarro ok ok! here it is a wip-shot, you know that I have very little spare time these days & I’m slow in modeling too (loof @ the speed of STRIKE, he’s on his second entry!)
the first img is a spline study for proper body shape, the second is basic polycage & the third is a quick render

#43

wire of chest & stomach! just the begining…

#52

#53

Someone should count Wings users here…

#54

well, I’m not sure, but it was my first try with WINGS3D, & I could say that it’s a very easy to use & powerful app. I’m still faster in MAX & I like the way that MAX works more, but WINGS3D could be an option, yes, of course it could be, it loads very fast, has some VERY GOOD features (collapse, desolve & connect are great!) & it quits faster!. maybe in future I replace it for just poly-modeling. (I see a bright future for Wings3D)
I recommend to use it at least once.
(aha, I saw that MAYA 4.5 has so many new good features in modeling & manipulating…I didn’t try that yet, maybe for next part of my DEEV’s body! does MAYA 4.5 PE save/export mesh? :wink: )

#56

Very good start Ila! I like concept also. I’ll watch this with
highest expectations - just to put some pressure to you :smiley:

            Yes Ila............I love the fact that now I can use both Maya and Max back and forth. The advantages in using both are astronomical. It is a pure bliss for me, I am now able to actually fullfill my visions due to it. With both packages I feel all limitations are gone. Here is a link to a converter that works for both packages..................

           Hope I was of some help.I think you should consider this option. It for me does not get any better than this,both top high end packages at once,pure heaven............. :beer:
