by crease do you mean the white line that goes across the eye cause that is just the reflection of the ground i was playing around with gradients last night so i will put that in today after the modelling and after that i can start adding the modifactions now that i have my copy of sasquatch :D

lookin good could do with a little bit of detail in the colours a few small brush lines.

update hands complete but still need tweaking and i just realised thanks to someone on spin-quad that the feet as they are now are not in the rest position they are in more of a getting ready to run postion so that will be changed but let me know what you think

opps forgot head wire

Looking very good there so far sspike. If I had to crit anything though I'd say that the forearms look a little on the long side. Maybe shorten them a tad.

the arms are in proportion to this picture which the rest of the body is made from but i think they look a little long because they are a little to thin
thanks for the input though i may change them later

feet are now changed and the claws are much better now but i still want to know if they are good enough thanks well here he is

Looks nice ( I never had a prob with arms looks fine either way)
a lil Crit: the only thing that throws me off is the throaght /neck I like the 2D pic u supplied where throaght/neck is exteneded and not squashed in.

its starting to come all together spikedudley!!! i like the texture you give to him. not sure about the bump map though!! dont looks like skin-texture much or something!! maybe you should give it a second look!!!

anyhow, the rest is very good!! keep on going

thanks for the comments guys

Krull : the neck is the same as in the picture maybe its just prespective

Bullet : the Bump texture is still in progress and i have to start work on a scale texture in photoshop
a small update
http://www.wakehosting.com/upload/fi...render_031.jpg

Like Bullet, I think the bumpmap still needs a little work, but this is coming together nicely! Greatly!

Here is what I mean. this is the one thing that catches my eye and annoys me ( not being rude ) everything else is perfect ( ecepically claws)

sorted out some problems thanks for everyones suggestions
neck sorted
new bump
underarm tweaked

looking pretty good so far!:)

MUCH BETTER!

i like ur dino, but like i sed to cyroz it looks like a raptor,i thought the comp was 2 create ur own style of dinosaur so r u goin 2 change nethin on the model 2 make it less like a raptor. or are u aloud to jsut make a normal dino. i dont know.

nice model.

looking good spike,

good work you are doing here spike!!!

thnaks everyone

S2-Speedy - my dinosuar is going to be a modified raptor so after i have all the raptor details down i am going to start modifying it

does everyone like the new bump map then

ok cool. i fort u might b modifiyin it. i was just curious.

i like ur bumpmap it better than the last. lookin gud.

ur making good progress dude, but the little skin thingy on the corner of his mouth or jaw, might be a little dark... O and much better bump map!;)

yep the corner of the mouth is going to get a complete texture bump and all so it doesn't matter about the colour now i was just putting a basic colour on there but thanks

here he is with a tongue not worked on him much today but i am just setting up a skeleton to test the deformation so expect some poses posted soon:D

i said it before and i say it again....looking good spike!! the bump is great!! one critic about the tongue!! looks like it is not attached to anything!! as for as i know the tongue was attached to the lower part of the innermouth!! looks like its coming out of his stomach at the moment!!

just to clarify something i am allowed to use ZBRUSH to create textures and displacement maps of my dino
just letting people know that i am still working on this and am now detailing

just starting to get to know ZBRUSH but here is a little test now for my dino
http://www.wakehosting.com/upload/fi...den%20idol.jpg

i think u ar allowed 2 use zbrush 2 texture others can use photoshop so i shud guess so.
that pic u posted of the texture is it ur dino texture? cuz its hard 2 make out the detail on that model looks a bit bronze. mayb it'll look better on the dino.

no thats not my texture for the dino i am working on that now this was just a test with ZBRUSH to see what i could get out of it

here is a little peak at some of the details you might be able to guess what i am aiming for for my modification

hmm... I dunno, that looks like the dino's a burn victim at the moment.

lol:laugh:
I got to agree with Mike on this one.

Dae

mtmckinley : excellent welcome to my modification that is what i had planned for my mosification i wasn't telling anyone though to see if it was recognisable my plan will unfold a little more later

heres an update on the burns some texturing done let me know what you think the dark areas are just shadows :D
http://www.wakehosting.com/upload/fi...render_035.jpg

i don't know about the melted skin... but, it looks gruesome!:confused:

the wrinkly skin reminds me of the cgtalk competition winners beast thingy. cant wait to see what ur gonna do it though

i haven't seen that thing i will go and take a look

here i had the link in an email

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/...sh/winners.php

i think it deserved to win its amazing

nice one spike!! is your whole dinosaur exist in one UV?? or did you textured it in several parts???

for example: one for the legs, one for the body, one for the head and so on!!

i would like to know!! thank you!!

thats where ZBRUSH comes in handy you paint on the model in real time so you can paint a little bit rotate it paint a bit more then export it as all one UV map back into lightwave check it out

update on the texturing only been able to work on it for 30 mins so this is what i got
i have scrapped the burnt look as it wasn't going where i wanted it but never fear :D i have a new modification coming up very soon
