okay... im in!!! did some research for some cool dinosaurs and i think the dilophosaur is a cool looking guy. the dilophosaur looks like some kind of raptor with a thing around his neck to scare enemys off.

since we have to design our own dinosaur i take this dinosaur to create the basic looks, and then i will add some own ideas to it!!

Cool, I always thought that was one of the coolest dinos from J.P. !

nice 1 bullet, cant wait 2 see some of these ideas. and dont worry bout postin the wrong msg in mine insted of the general. :D gud luck

mmh i have some problems with my computer...so i am unable to do something!!! hope i can fix it quick!!!

when my computer is done i will go work on my dinosaur!!!

well because my computer is still broken :( i had the time to think what kind of dinosaur i am going to make.

my idea is to mix an alien with the dilophosaur!!! i made some sketches, but i cant use my scanner because of my broken comp!!

Nice choice,,, bullet, hope your comp gets working,,,,,,,, waiting to see more.

okay i have my computer back online!! here is a sketch of the feet i made!!!

i think i am going to model and texture in different parts... first i go make the feet...then i texture the feet and then i go further with another part of the creature!! well first need a good mesh :)

here is the start of my mesh!! c&c welcome!!!

Looking good! :) :tup:

thank you mckinley!! here is a little update!!!

very birdlike legs! Nice detail aswell! keep it up!

Very nice, love the detail don't stop show me more :D

Looking good there Bullet.

very nice start on its foot keep it up

wow, great work man! love the detailes! Keep it up!

wooo so much positive comments!!! thank you!!

but dont be affraid to give some critics!!

ok just messing around with some textures!!!

looking very good so much detail in the nails

you asked for a crit so here is a small 1 lol

you said u were jus playin with texture so it dont matter like but theres a little bit of a seam on the toe ( the 1 to the right )

hardly at all noticeable might just be me only reason i noticed it is because i was looking how u did em cos they look so good :)

im impressed so far bulet, i wud say keep it up but ull put me 2 shame :D lol

Looks cool so far - best of luck with getting the same level of detail and texturing for the rest of the guy :p

finally i have the texture for the foot done!!!
its hard to texture organic models, but i think it came out pretty well!! c&c welcome!!!

now i go model the rest of his legs and then up to the body!!

looking excellent if i wasn't working on an animation i would have to get in on this oh well i will just have to sit back and watch this delvelop
good luck carry on with this it is going great

wow it looks great keep up the good work!

thanks guys :)

here is a part of the leg i added in let's say.... 2 hours or something!!!
now.. i am going to have a break!!! tell me what you think about it!!
thank you!!

having good progress here, Bullet. i'd love to see how the whole dino turns out!!!:)

that is well good. :D
i doe think im guna win. im seeing 2 much good stuff. :(

supreme work :)

the white in the middle of the foot and leg looks abit to bright to me i glows over the nails :(

something that white on a dinos foot would be rather dirty

awsome texturing :D

nice work!! looking forward to seeing the body and head

looking good now get that leg textured :D the white bits look good but i do think the texture needs to be grubby the white bits sort of remind me of a facehugger from alien:D

hey thanks for the tip Sharp!! i will make the white-yelow texture a bit dirty'er than it is now ( the upper white part is not even textured at the moment ) i also begin to work on the leg texture now!!

@ sspikedudley: cool it reminds you of the facehugger from the alienmovies. my mission was/is to give it some alien-look :)
I also modeled the facehugger some months ago ( maybe you saw the W.I.P of it at this forum )!!!

@ the rest: thanks :)


updates coming soon ( i hope )!!! texturing is a hard thing to do!!!

okay...there are still some little mistakes at the texture.

i dont say what the mistakes are so i can see if other people see them to. well guess i have to work on the body know :(
thats going to be a hard job!!

as always....c&c welcome

great texturing
UV maps??
i can't see any mistakes apart from it looks like there are now bumps where the foot texture joins the leg texture but apart from that it looks very natural

that's some mad textures and a really detailed model dude! Very cool!:cool:

it looks better every pic posted :D the texture is class.

you have twisted talent my matey... twisted....

thank you all so much!!!

@sspikedudley: i have now 5 UV maps and added 5 bump maps for each part of the model ( nails, boney parts, leg and feet )

mmmh i wonder how many UV maps i will have when the model is finished.
I don't know if its a big problem to have many UV maps!! if the result looks good i dont care how many UV's i will have in the end of this challenge!!!

don't have much progress yet ( only tweaked some parts of the leg ). i think i first will model the head tomorrow and from their i create the body!!!

i also found a good reference picture on the net!!

end there goes my prize. Kick-ass job man!

Maybe, just maybe you could work a bit more on the part of texture with blueish-green color, don't know why, but there's something that is missing or need's to be improved, but don't really know what.

But really grat job so far man!
And no, I think having more uv maps itself are not the problem, but having more textures might increase rendering time.

wow, that seems hard! But i think u can pull it off!;)

thanks all again
here is the start of the head!!! tell me what you think!!
