MagicSy/Noob/Jan/Feb
 

ok i started off with a dog but i was stuggling getting it to look real rather than cartoony, so im gonna do a Saltwater crocodile.
heres a reference pic theres plenty so i should be good to go!

Ahhhhhh.... awesome man. Doing the surface of this should be lots of fun.. :beer:

You going to use Z-Brush?

ZBrush would certainly make it a lot easier, but where's the fun in that? ;)

im gonna try modeling the bumps, i have Zbrush but never got round to really testing it out.
kinda wasted money so far :O
so just maya ;)

Good choice man ..looking forward to seeing how you get on with this..


P.S.
Z-brush is a cop out ..hehe where's the Maya modeling challenge in z-brush? ..lol ;)

lol J,
i always like to show my very first begiing of modeling so here it is .........
hehe.;)

hard to make progress im going in blind so will be slow as im reading and doing tuts at the same time :)
but heres some basic shape now of the top part of his mouth.:blush:

heres some slow progress. :)
it will come good in the end hopefully.

Hey!!
Been busy with other projects but i thought id pick this back up and started messing with my model of the croc and it began to look quite good so im starting this thread back up :):)
Some pics will follow :D

heres where im at so far. :)

n some more this is just the smooothed version
oh how the hell do i get this beast into Zbrush ? cause round each tooth its kinda rounded is the skin and i know Zbrush would make this easier :)

Looking good, aint a clue about z brush though but I do remember reading a tutorial on importing and exporting it from Highend 3d

not bad going magicsy though the eye looks way too far back compared to the reference shot.

keep it up :)

yea i havnt done itfrom that last pic i have a couple more im using instead :)

Good start magicsy! Glad to see that you are still in the challenge. :beer:
