Hi, long time reader/lurker. thought i would introduce my self to the boards by entering this one… Good luck everyone!

ok heres a concept. the jaws act like fingers to clamp prey in place and draw it into the mouth. sorry about the crappy images but I am without my scanner :frowning:

#3

after a couple of hours modeling. Currently at 946 faces. got to finish the torso and then make the legs…

Ok got legs roughed out. Currently its at 1400 polies Which gives me 100 or so polies to add some antenae and split the carapace up so it can roll into a ball… Got a great idea for rigging the rolling which i can’t wait to try out!!!

any thoughts? comments?
