Hey Guys

Yeah as DJ said, just 'right click' 'open in new window'

Vlad; Thanks bud, yeah I take it you mean the Beast of Burden creature that you inquired about before. Oh its a fair way off. But if you wanna create the job in 'Z' be my guest. I really dont mind. As long as you credit me for the design when youve done it, then you can give me the model to rig for Outlaws and I'll credit you for the model!! Team work!!

Yeah the tute was a long time coming, but I hope its all okay, I really tried to keep it simple without all the crap, bogging people down with the 'whys', 'dos' and 'donts'. Its just another way to create a model but from my point of view. Enjoy, I will do another soon on boots.

Hmm, the nose looks alot different than in the drawing. But still, I like it alot. How exactly do you plan to get that dirty look? Bumps or alpha channels?

Edit: Man, I just thought, that thing must be a reall doozy to UV map.

Nose schmose, its only concept.

Well the texture will be done with a good color, bump, diffuse and spec maps using an sss shader. Why would I want alpha channels on this though is a bit weird to ask. Unless you're talking about layered shaders or textures which is aleays a posibility.

Love the model, but I think I like the nose in the concept better, it makes him look more sophisticated... But then again, he's a bartender, so I guess he don't have to be user added image

Ehm... What's an sss shader? user added image

Thanks man, oh and SSS=SubSurfaceScattering. I think the nose was too much like the other alien guy I did. Not the last one but the one before that, so I decided to change it after going thru those models, need some differences so...

Ahh, SubSurfaceScattering, now it's all clear to me! user added image

It just hit me that with the lower nose and the fleshier cheeks, the model kinda reminds me of the bartender from Episode 2 who tells Obi-Wan about the cloners (can't remember his name)

Which model are you talking about? Had a quick look at your 3D gallery and couldn't really see anyone with that look, but it was a pretty quick peek... But yeah, the last thing you want is people thinking that you make all of your models from a base model...

Looking forward to seeing this guy textured! user added image

Found him, but I'd say he looks more like Kerin Krani because of the horns on him and the eyes on this guy, but that's just me...

Yeah, how's that new workflow treatin' ya? Is it too soon to tell if it's more effective?

Hey Blomkaal

Id say its better. Although it may seem Ive got the figure modelling down pretty good, and to some my stuff may be cool, I can still be pretty unsatisified with it. The work flow is better but Im just bloody arsey on my stuff.

I see some damn good work on alot of sites and I know I can do better (dont want to sound arrogant) but Im working in bulk as opposed to one image/model or a single animation, so it feels like I do less than the next guy and somedays it feels like Im not doing anything at all, but again Im working in bulk and have to be consistant even though there are improvements to be made.

Once Outlaws is finished I'll be doing a short animation that Ive been planning to do for a couple of years, I want to get back into that, I still have the storyboards!! And then I'll be moving onto the Photoreal humans by doing some portrait stuff, you know really hi res models for one image. But thats all way off yet, Probably wont be until the end of next year.
