I have to say that it is very good, maybe a perspective view would help.

If your getting sick of it just leave it and come back. Or even start another project and skip between the two as and when.

oh i understand the view, just wondering all those are in perspective view ..just turned alittle or just put it on the side ... never used any other views .... so you just want me to use perspective and pan out ?

oh duh you dont want screen shots ...just take a pic in perspective view lol ...correct ?

also I am going to try to setup basic 3 light and render ...never done that when I am totally done

That's looking good there mate.

Can't at this time think of anything to make it better.

looks evil mate, haven't had a Chance to look at it for a while and i gotta get this in fast, the computer is crashing on a regular basis?? every hour or so??
the eyes of your dragon look mean the underside of the head needs work because there's no detail there
take care

take it easy and life will be easy

Mat,

thanks I really liked the dragon ..fun little project ..hard and pain in the rump sometimes but fun

13th,

thanks for the tip hehhe i just have no clue what to do next

Tim,

wel lI could never get it going right ....according to the dvd . But i ended up just being in polys and duplicating one side ...had to make sure all vertices was kinda close ..then i combined and then just went and merged all individual vertices lol was a pain in my arse ...but it work ...i know there are quicker ways but could not do it ...still trying to figure it out ...

now i just dont know what else to work on either focus on more basic tutorials where they teach me tools or just jump into another project from simplymaya
