all these time zones :S :(
i might move so i can understand when i need to have my images in by :P

Yeah!!! everybody come to Australia - there's plenty of room here! :D

Pony, that is some pretty sweet modelling. Those creatures had REALLY weird anatomy: six limbs. I can't even begin to imagine what it would mean for biology if one was ever found.

Dont forget guys, this is going on a honor roll system... let me know if your more than -8 GMT! I am PST just like pony and so I will be waiting until midnight at the LATEST for the contest entries.. make sure you can get that render in within the next 3 hours :). Im bustin my ass trying to get this dino done... :P.. gah. Cant wait to see your final pony :D.

awsome work guys,.. keep it upp... :~)
can't wait to see your finals...
(took me a while to read all 12 pages of this thread... lol...)
peace everyone.. :)
(btw, is that awsome or allsome??.. correct me if I'm wrong.. please... :) )

it is "awesome".
thanx :) . by the way my final was in there ;)

oh, 1 more thing, how do you make your models look so soft like real??.. and the next question is,... how come it takes you like 1 hour to rander it..lol?..

:)) thanx >>JB<< ((:

lol it only took me like 5 seconds to render :D .

To look soft... simply add skin wrinkles ;)

OOhh.... coool,,...:banana:
I'll remember that... :beer:

oh, LSphinx.... out of interest what led you to this forum? Just browsing, or noticeded a link in peoples signatures or something?

My softness comes from skin detail and I also use GI_Joe mel script. its a Global illumination fake in maya rendering..
but it dose take mine 2 minets with GI-Joe running.. only 13 seconds with out..

Does GI_Joe work with the PLE?? I guess if it is just a mel script (not a plug-in) it should.

I usually have a tendancy to go into the competition threads...
it kinda rises my Maya inspiration... or something.....
and + you learn a LOT from it.... (you know, how you start your models and stuff...) (apologize if I went off topic.. :) )

anyway, in this case I got in this forum myself, but I should say that people's signatures work pretty good spreading "propaganda" lol... :)

thanx a lot pony, I should try that mel script... :) is that built in in Maya?.. or there is a place I can find it?...
thanx :beer:

Yes!!! You also learn an amazing amount from being in competitions!!! I'm having heaps of fun and learning REALLY useful stuff!

LSphinx. No its a seprat Mel that you get. just do a serch for it hear on the board, there are a lot of usefull threads about getting it and how to use it... when I get time after final render I will see if I can find the best thread for it my self and post that for you. Unless you get to it first..
