May/June N00B - R@nSiD

Hi all,

After a few weeks doing 3D totals 1 hr Speed Challenges I thought I'd come and play with the big boys and give myself time to put the effort into a small project...

My Creature will be purely fantasy (gives me a bit more of a free reign to make stuff up :p ). The plan is to model each part (Body, Head, Arms, Legs & Tail in NURBS and convert to Polys. Once in Polys I can tidy up and create a copy in SubD. Ill Keep the SubD for the render. If I get time the Poly model will be smoothed and animated. Shame I need to do a backdrop too user added image

.

Any way I start it tonight by creating the body. But here is a quick (but badly drawn) 2D side concept sketch...

Had to use lined paper :o, no plain in the house atm...

Hey, i cant really comment, but the mods ands admins asked that you crop the images that are photo captured. But great start,...............and I kinda like rancid, they are in close ties to travis barker (which is the drummer for blink)

There's actually no need to say anything. If most people bothered to read the rules and stickies then discussions like these wouldn't be brought up. The dimensions of ur pictures are also in the stickies if you want to check it out.

Is Bitch and moan all the the ppl on this site do?

Not talkin to the mods here, they have set the roolz. But there are ways and means to tell others. I saw no roolz stipulating image size and others have larger images posted.

Anyway I wont dwell on the negativity of others, if there is no crit coming out of what I have or will post then please keep your comments to yourself. I thot this was supposed to be a fun site. Yet American arrogance is showing thru from sum spoiling others enjoyment.

WTF do you mean "american ignorace". More like scotland homosexuality, atleast if we have weird men that were skirts they were underwear, and dont suck on "bag-pipes". Yer dirty scot. Sorry if I came on a little offensive, but I dont understand why people always target america as the "bad" country, they all know we would beat their a**es in a war. This will probably get edited or deleted, oh well.

EDIT: Sorry if I offended anyone on this topic. But, I am choosing to leave the original post up (until a mod finds it). I know I may have not really chosen the right set of words (scotish homosexuals), but I did this as a joke. I really did not mean to cause any harm, but if you perceived it that way, I am ready prove my points, just more dignitively (dont know if that is a word).
