May/June NOOB, SeaMus
 

This is my first real go at an original-non tutorial object. I have no clue how to do eyes. ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED.

First Render
 

What do you think?

And a skin
 

I am having trouble seperating the moth, blow-hole, bottom for skinning purposes. My model exploded when I seperated the surfaces?!? Any help?

The overall shape looks very good. A very cool looking creature design. What do you mean your model exploded? I hope no one was injured:p

Look at this!
 

Exploda view! I do not know what happened to this at all.

nah your model didn't EXPLODE! looks to me like its polygons have just been flipped :alien: If that happens in the future, just press 'f' and the poly's will flip back to the way they were originally. :)

Apart from that, the design looks cool ;)

Nope...Definately exploded.
 

All the normals are facing the correct way. The thing just exploded! A lot of the parts have shifted and rotated. That is why the white parts are sticking up through the mouth. They are correct just somehow tweaked. Very strange goings on- I wish I knew what happened. At any rate, I did have a backup and am just using that now. Hmmm....Curioser and curiouser.

So much for realism! I need some texture practice.
