Good start, not much to comment yet though.. keep us updated.
Hmm.. Ive got to find something to model for this competition too.

Yes true just wanted to start from scratch and keep updating dailey, so I keep it going. It just might keep me away from Gaming this way. Oh Voo what an addiction.

Cool! I hope we get this one for free!

Well I don't see why not! My goal is to have it all done by the deadline including paint job and Rigged with my spare time. Once it's complete then ask me again if you really like it then. Take care.

I got ASC4, I could rig it for you, except for the wings. I got ASC4 because I really suck at rigging:p

Anyways, I can't wait for this one, very cool toy.

Oh shouldn't be a problem in Rigging, thanks though.

Fun Model!
 

Hey that looks like a fun model to make!

Any chance i could get a copy of your reference pics? I would love to try making Watto!

Thanks in advance

Hi Anthony_Locke,
do you want this for the competition or just for your files for when you get a chance to get to it. If for competition I would say I'll send it after the 28 competition don't want two people trying to model the same thing.:D
But if just for something that you want to do on the side sure no problem.:D

Here is an update to the model. Had some time today to get some work done on it. Let me know how it's coming along. Still have to do the head, cloths, and misc other details that will help the character stand out. Also of course Rigging and Paint Detail even though those aren't required I still would like to do a little anim with him once I am done.:D
Hmm for some reason I can't get the images to attach to the message so I guess I will have to give locations on my server.

Hey
 

Hey threedfanatic,

I dont want to enter the competition, I would really just like to make that model.

Not a hugh deal if you wanna keep them, but i promise the model wont show up here...lol.. Just as a private thing for me.

Thanks

Anthony

Oh cool no problem send me an e-mail so I can send you one with the pics. The email system on this forum doesn't seem to upload pics. So we got to do it the old fashion way. Take care.

Just testing to see if I can post the image instead of http site.

Yep, it works!

Looking nice so far. :)

Thanks Hopefully tonight I will get sometime to work on the head and wings.

Well here is an update. Been pretty busy latelly so I haven't had much time to work on this. Here is what I got so far still need to clean up mesh a bit and add alot more detail and stuff just thought I would show the progress.

Here is a perspective rendered

Wow threedfanatic, this is really coming along good, being a star wars fan Im really excited about seeing this finnished..

Keep up the great work

//Matt

Thanks a lot appreciate that. Going to do more work to him tonight when I get home from work. Wings, tail, belly button and hopefully finish detailing the feet. Maybe have time to add teeth as well we will see. Thanks again for the compliment.

If you have not time to model the wings I can borrow him my plane; not sure if I have time to do the pilot :D
I like the work, anyway..;)

Hi Bucco thanks looks like u did the pilot already. LOL
Here is a little more update didn't have as much time as I would of liked to work on this. Lots more to do!

This is terrific work here!!! I hope you're going to do Sebulba the Dug as well. :D

One of these days I will really have to learn this thing they call organic modeling. - Möe

Thank you very much. I pretty much use the box method with Meta Form and do parts of the character at a time and then connect the sections back together again. If you need to see some examples of what I am talking about I would be glad to show u the technique.
Take care.

Well I had a little more time to clean him up a bit and add some claws and a tail. Lol next phase i think is to paint him and then add cloths and finally rig him. Thanks for all the compliments! This helps me keep going and to stay away from Gaming. Hehe

im wondering how will u make the textures :)

regards,
v.

Here is another little update to the model before texturing it. I didn't think a bump map would quite do it to achive that much of a ribbed area on the snout. Let me know what you think?

Coo. Looks almost like me! :D :D :D

Looking very good.
I think you should make the black light be a little whiter, but that has nothing to do with the modeling ;) .

I think you did the right choice modelling the snout. Better and better ;)
What about the ears? Maybe two tiny holes with some displace or two big things..:D

Sorry guys didn't have as much time as I thought I was going to have to really detail this character out. I did have time for the eyes and teeth though and a little more clean up on the character. Anyway here it is let me know what you think?

starting to look good mate!! shaping up nice now.

Are you going to add some wrinkles to the body or are you staying smooth?

Hi all,
got a little bit more done on Watto. Added Nostrils and ear holes and re worked the mouth a bit. Plan to start to texture soon. Let me know what you all think. Haven't had much time but slowely getting there.
kevin still trying to decide on that issue I might just use bump maps to get the look.

God it's quit in here.
Hi all,
here is another update to the character it is a wire frame and rendered version. I added winkles in the neck. Let me know how it's comming along or if I need to add anything else. Almost ready to paint it. Thanks for any comments.

Looking very good.
I think the lips should stick put a bit.

Thanks Kvaalen,
but what do you mean by stick put? Could you please explain a little more.

I believe its meant to be stick 'out'. :)

Yeah, Digi got it :D
I meant stick out.

Yes I agree with you on that. I will try to do that tonight and hopefully it will almost be ready for texturing the body and face

Well here is some lips let me know how its looking now.:D

Ah! That looks better!
In all your pictures you seem to be trying to use the 3 light setup but it looks like you are exagerating a little with the colors, make them lighter.
