Steam-Roller Creature
 

hey all,
i made this cool monster i call the steam-roller, this is not textured yet, but the normal map is shown on him, leave crits if you can!~

Looks cool Joopson - but at the moment he looks a little off balance, as if he is leaning back - It may be the camera angle though - more views please.

pretty cool! I want ZBrush too, but I have to be contended with about 6 other 3d apps :D

side

i know, messy wire
;)

umm... I hope you know that applying a normal map isn't applying it as a color... you need a normal map node and everything

I like his face, looks sort of grinnig. But he seems to have some sort of hole in his belly, why's that.
And what is a normal map and why is this map manifested in funky colours?
;)

oh, lol, i know normal maps arent supposed to be colored, but the normal map was rendering all messed up, so i attached the colors to it, lol,

Heh, :D thats a way to fix it :p

hehe, rendered without colors :(

oh, the hole in his torso is to make him look very Emaciated, like he is dead, lol

hole - blood = dead! :bandit:

:confused: lol

Yeah - looks like he is resting on his tail at the moment. I would focus on getting him standing up straight before you move on to the next stage. Basically you need to think about how your character is balanced - where his central weight is - and then work out how you want the various parts of his body to sit on this central line - usually a figure looks balanced when the central axis of each limb shift in opposite directions... I am not being very clear so I have drawn a quick exaggerated sketch to give you an idea. Hope this helps!
:beer:

lol, thanks, i already rigged him, so i can pose him like that, lol
