Hello everyone,

I'm interested in learning "organinc" modeling techniques.

I assume its done with NURBS, correct me if I'm wrong.
The last organic model I made was from "Maya Fundementals 4.5" book & I felt I learned nothing.....

I'd like to model some animal/creature while carefully being taught the organic techniques.

Which one should I choose?

T-Rex
The Oliphant
Centaur

Any Input Is Appreciated

no, organic is not always nurbs modeling. i can name artists who use polygons and even Sub-d surfaces for organic modeling.
i am one of those who use all 3 occasionally but i prefer polys...... it all depends on what your most productive surface type is.

and i personally suggest the organic modeling 2 DVD(where you model a zombie)

i dont know which would be better. T-Rex, The Oliphant, Centaur, i have done the centaur, and i can tell you i really put my modeling like, to the next level. iam sure all those three are good. but if you are like me (a one time a huge lotr fan) i would choose the oliphant. but still your chose really. there all very good.

A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice!!

Hey,

Thanks for the input guys... user added image

The "Centaur" has both human & animal features so I can experience modeling both types quad/bipedal.

The "Oliphant" body doen't look to challanging. But the armor seems intricate. I wonder if thats nurbs converted to polys or subd's

The "TRex" is just cool. But its been done to death.

The "Dragon", is this on Dvd? Or is it a online tutorial only?

I'll way my options................I wish some the dvd authors would append their opinions in this thread :zzz:
