The placement in the photograph is perfect. The skin is much better, and i didn't notice the glitch previously. So whatever it was, good looking out. Perfect entry!

I would love to put little claws on the guy but I sort of planned for him to have frog like feet. I see now that little claws would look cool but I have run outta time really.
The background is just a photo unfortunately. I would have liked to develop a proper environment bec I have some great foliage and wood textures thanks to a mate of mine (ta Jonny T) but bec I took so long on getting that blinking texture right I sort of blew it.
What I did do tho was load the photo onto a makeshift image plane in Maya, then try to match the lighting on the dinorat as closley as I could. I then loaded the background image into a spot light and also projected it onto the dinorat. I then rendered it and dropped it on top of the photo in Photoshop just making a few minor adjustments.
I am really happy with the result. It is actually the best model I have ever made.
Thanks for your comments Pony! Hanging for your final!
Dae! Like I already said... Someone give that guy a job!

Not even a toe nail. I am a complete NOOB. I have a WIP I am posting on my birthday next month - Promised Pony, Airworks, and 3D. I'd rather be judged on my concept than the maya work. I am inspired / intimidated by your work tho -Originally posted by surfermcd
hey t3logy Do you have any work to look at???
