new sketch

Cool, it reminds me of an alien aardvark. :)

lol, thats the idea! hehe

I'm currently trying to sketch out the idea of putting wings on mine, and it looks good on paper. My only problem is I don't have a scanner, and also when I model wings in Maya, they look absolutely appalling. :eek:

I'll just skip the wings for now and stick to the idea of a floating snake :D

hehe, the dreaded wing modeling!! use alpha maps for the stretched skin in between,

ok, first update

Improved the lighting and gave him "side-feelers".

P.S. Great work Joopson! Looking good.

Both looking good!

How you guys modeling it?

I'm whittling away at polygons. I'm absolutely horrible when using Nurbs. They're unknown to me.:alien:

Poly count right now is 5718.

Looks really smooth Shaderblade!


How low poly is low poly? I keep hearing different values.

I'm the same with nurb's, gonna have a big effort to get used to them tho!

Highest we can go up to is 15000. Well, that's not exactly low poly, but it certainly is a lot less than the cave trolls in Lord of the Rings. ;)

Cool! Keep it up man!

Have a crack at doing some clay renders to show off the details guys.

im using nurbs to get the general shape, then detailing in polys, and combining the polys into one object:beer:

Nice, do you keep the nice quad geometry that way when you convert?

another detail on the head
