XenoDude | Alien Proyect

I´m going to take it easy on this model, as I don´t want to get discouraged early on.

To those who still remember that tournament, I began a model based on H.R. Giger´s Alien creature design. Sadly, I had to resign the battle and left the model as it were.

Now I want to use it as my test model, and as such, I will try to test whatever technique comes on my mind with it. I´m rebuilding it too.

This thread will be the depository thread of all these tests.
I intend to use it to battle Vectorman on an animation battle later on.

(Same proportions though)

Vector realizes how badly he is losing this battle now, well i guess I better start working on a character now too! (btw you spelled proYect wrong in you're sig)

I believe I will start* modelling after concept working basing myself on SUBDs. I like very much Kurt´s technique in the Dragon tutorial, so I think I will go that way.

I intend to research normal mapping during the process.

I pretty much suppose the model will be done (textured and all) in about three or four months. Not actually a priority in my schedule, so I´m going to take it very easy.
