Hehe,,, ya,,, i think that too,,, thanks mark.

[kumar]

Well thinking about adding chains but wanted to see how it might perform when animating,, so decided to try out the animation. First test i did using MD,,, but not really happy with it,,, no idea why it did not work the way i wanted it to. So i played around some more and finally used the spline control to test it out. Think its nice. Any ideas on the MD part is welcomed... Keeps not working me....

Edit... Oh ya... this is a saved preview... short also...in DivX format.

[kumar]

Well this is a second attempt and also better preview,, also same,, using the spline control,,,, here you can see the controls. also divx codec.

[kumar]

Here is some of the details that i have added

[kumar]

Well,, here is a small update on the fellow,,, not really going to do much body details,, and he is sort of in stone,,, at least the back part of him,,, and maybe the sides. Still working on the right type of claws or fingers for him.

your on course Kumar - nice work mate, Im getting more done on my lunch break.

[kumar]

Well,,, after much tweaking,,, this is what i ended up with,,, the wings and human like hands and feet are on purpose. Hehe,,, kind of like a weird mix between the two. Now creating a platform for this creature,,, so that i can add it to my tower.

Chris, Thanks,,, think you are also getting much more done than me, all the flash has got me choking,,, so its coming slow. Ah,,, me and Flash,,, its a love and hate relationship... sometimes i love it,,,, cause get mula from it. But hate it cause it keeps me away from lightwave...

[kumar]

Well,,, did a small test render and now he sits on my desktop looking out for unwanted users,,,, Hahaha...

That's one ugly mutha of a gargoyle! But then, they're meant to be! Nice little detail. I was thinking that making something detailed like this and adding it to the building would take forever but you seem to have put him together pretty quick. Good going!

[Mark]

Sweet. I'd be tempted to kill the specularity a little and add a stone microbump to make him look more like granit than polished marble.

[kumar]

Thanks guys,,, i will try the stone version later Mark. And actually,,, i know if i worked on this longer i could do a better job,,, but,,, since its an ornament and not the main thing,,, i cut some corners and created something i am happy with,,,, Guess all the modelling,,, makes me model faster,,,,,,,,,wwwwweeeeee....

[kumar]

Well a test render of the tower,,, with the details added and basically surfaced. Will work on the bump and other stuff later.... This weekend is packed.....:bored:

[arma]

Its looking cool

Bro

Keep up the good work

:bandit:

[Mark]

Getting there. Needs work on the surfacing like you say, but overall, its looking good.

I'm not sure about the scale of the door against the drawbridge/chains however. The door looks a little small compared to the other features...

[kumar]

Thanks Arma, and Mark,,, guess you are right,,, about the door... Will try to adjust and see how it works.
