the bump of the scales seems too hard. It's almost like it's a cracked statue or something. I'd soften those up some.

yeh i no wot u mean mtmckinley, it was jsut a tester really. not final. i jsut wanted sum feedbk on it. cheers neway. :)

thanks puppet.

Looking good speedy, is it a uv for the colours or a gradient on the bump?

i like your dotte texture, but i agree with mtmcinley about the scales... but well... since it was just a test you will probably fix it!!
keep going, looking good so far!!!

look mommy a T-Rex tadpole

great concept, as for the texture I would try and go for a salamander look, cant wait to see more.

Dae

good textures.:) did u use procedurals?

yeh i did use procedurals zeeman.

and its a gradient on the bump map ozwolf.

cheers 4 the comments an crits guys :D gota make the legs sumtime this week :)

I love gradients very effective. Looking great cant wait to see it with legs on.

thnks ozwolf. i med the legs 2day ill post a pic later. but i still gota do the feet. :)

mmmh all people here are talking about those gradients stuff!!!
can someone explain me what it is :)
i know it has something to do with texturing, but i dont know the exact function of it!!! would be nice to know what you can do with it :)

ok im finally posting a pic of the model so far ... now wiv legs. this still is in progress but tell me wot u guys think.

just wireframes 4 now. :)

and another, will post none wireframe pic later.

looking good cant wait to see a render.

It looks great speedy,
but I think the mesh is really too dense at some parts... giving it a "boxy shape"

cheers guys.

yeh i now wot u mean cyroz, i noticed that. i am guna try and round it out a bit b4 i texture it. the mesh does get a bit dense in sum areas because of the creases i wanted but ill try and neatin it up.

thnks :)

ok i finally done a render of the legs and feet.
here it is. IGNORE THE TEXTURE ON IT as i left it on from b4, not final,ill fix it all late. i jsut wanted to know wot u guys think of the actual model. cheers :D

lol i just noticed a little footprint on my dino above haha. sum little feck.er bin wlkin over him. neway. here is another shot of my dino in modeller. :)

and another wiv other angles of feet and close up of head. :)

Hey speedy looks great.

Like cyroz said still boxy in some places. good work.

thnks OZ
yeh it does a bit, i kinda like it that way but if it looks boxy it may look like crap modelin wen they judge it, so ill try and round it out a bit b4 i texture, i meant to do it wen cyroz sed but i 4got. thnks 4 reminder. :D

looks great speedy!! but i think his tail looks a little weird!! looks like their is a heavy block of rock in it!!!!!
maybe look at it again!!!

ahha i see wot u mean, i av tried correctin it now, mayb it was cuz its hangin and a bit boxy, thats wot i mtryin 2 sort out. cheers neway bud. :D

hey peeps.
i av bin learnin UV the past few days, boy its tough. i still doe no weather 2 go UV texture or the other way i have bin doin it.
neway i av also bin workin on a scene, im goin with a field of grass where my dino will b posin. lol. wiv a lake and sum trees in the bg. :D ill try the grass usin saslite i think see how it looks.

will post images soon. :D cya

looking forward to it S2!!!:)

And yes, UV is hard, but good luck with it, if ur doing it...:)

i am guna av a few more gos at UV if i car get it 2 look good ill jsut do it the other way. :)

go for it dude, i was gonna have a look at zbrush but it was a pretty big file an i cant be arsed to wait for it lol

here r sum grass tests i did usin saslite.

and more :)

here i tried 1 wiv a sky

ok on this 1 i posted it twice so u can see what i want 2 do, the grass wud b where the dino will b, and the top image i showin how i want a lake and a moutain in the background.

its gonna look cool man, i can taste it:)

thnks puppet, i hope it will look as cool as i imagine it. :) :cool:

That is going to look pretty damn fine. You might want to look at raising the camera slighly (or lowering the grass) though for your final composition since the grass plain may overwhelm the scene otherwise..

yeh cheers mark, i agree.
i will prob shorten the grass, and make it not so high cuz it take 2 muc hup of the background. ill fix it doe worry, cheers dude.

its all coming together well, cant wait to see it all together!

thnks ozwolf i cant wait 4 it 2 come 2gther also, not jsut mine but everybodys. this has bin a good competition. :)

Nice work mate! Its gonna look great at the end :)

cheers mate. i hope so :D

ur going good guns so far dude! The scene will look stunning when its all done.

Looking forward to it.!:)

cheers zeeman. i gota a bit more of my scene 2 show now. i managed 2 get good grass, and water, but my sky still needs work. on the pic is where i will av the mountain, and the blue lines are 2 show like a sun rays comin thru.
