Nice! keep it up :tup: :).

Perhaps the scales are a bit small?

Thx Mike, ur right, scale are really small, but this texture is just to test some ideas I had in mind and I wanted to put in toshop....
This is more a skin layer....

I got a lot of modelling to do, then I'll try to do the final UV ...
I think I'll post one or two more test if I got time and then I'll get back to model...

See ya!

thats freaking amazing man!!! and this is just a test :S
looks very good!!

dude! i just don't know what to say!!! That is MAD!!! Very, very good job!

ok, so the last tests with textures... now back to modelling!!!

Holy frickin' moley. That is just plain awesome! This is quite possibly the best Lightwave model I've seen in a long time. Superb work! A real inspiration.

:D:tup: very nice work

nice...i know its a test, but with the final render you should make sure to avoid the stretching texture in the middle of the face!!

keep on going like this!!

/me picks jaw up off the floor.

WOW.. Exceptional!!

The texture is as good as the model and i am really impressed.
We'll see if any of the other simply site participants can beat this one, i love it when lightwave users beat maya users, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, i am rooting for ya to take out the top prize!

This was patch modelled right? what was your method? Splines? did you have a particular reference that you are working from? Sry about all the questions i am just intrigued.

And i think speedy is onto something with the pro division for competitions.

(for the purpose of clarity, the phrase " i am rooting for ya" is an australian colloquelism meaning i am supporting you. and for anybody who doesn't know colloquelism means local slang)

that is one heck of a bump map. how long did it take. That grand prize is sitting there waiting for ya dude! Simply AMAZING!:)

Oz,
this is not spline modeling, I started with one poly then cut, extend, drag.... (--->pic attached)
I have no particular reference, not "one" dino in fact, just browsed google for dino pics....

Wow,,, really amazing.

looking good are you useing a normal / displacement map made in z brush because the brush style looks like the brush's from zbrush :)

very nice work
