another pic - maybe can see eye more . also is there another way to post my pics to show better so you call can tell what is going on better ?

here is duplicated

Good work so far. I would however finish that line on his beak. The one that doesnt go all the way to the top because it looks like thats creating a lump on his nose. maybe because its not smooth but it looks like that would create a wierd bump when you do smooth it. other then that, its looking very good. I might have to have you finish my work now hehe

didnt notice it ...oh i have tons of work to finish on this dragon but ran into problems when working with eye and found alot of duplicated edges after I extruded and other issues ..worked out now .. but still lacking all the extra detail like kurt has on his ..

sure i will finish it ... send it on hehe

how much detail are we suppose to have at this point ? am I supopse to work out detail now ?

also when i go to poly>smooth

how do i go back to regular poly mode ?

set your itterations to 0
and it will go back to base mode

click on the dragon and then in your channels box, you'll see your poly smooth history, click on poly smooth and thats were you set your itterations

made some minor updates. put in mouth and then snoat . working on it still . not lined up with referance picture but working on it. fixed some other spots that are bothering me ..C and C is welcome. still unsure about snoat . any help or comments welcome.

some more pics

one more pic

everything is still in poly. i probably convert to sub-d sometime but still working everything out in poly for now .

hopefully you can tell the changes . let me know if good or not

Hi mate, sorry I missed your thread for so long. How rude of me.

From what I can see (though I haven't ready ALL of it in honesty) it's going pretty well.

The only thing I am slightly worried about it the beak/nose. I personally think it should be a bit sharper at the end and maybe not so wide. Also I might re-think the size of that extruded bit. The beak bit, it's looking a bit bulbous and could be in danger of making it look like a sock puppet. Try those changes and put the results up. I might be wrong, but I would be interested to see the results.

With that said I do think your one the right track, I find organic modeling a right chore so to see it done well is a pleasure.

:beer:

its okay ...no worries ..yeah didnt think about that ...more pointed ....i dont know how to make it a point...will try to figure it out . will post pics when i get home and work on it.

still wondering if it looks better than first post cause i been working on it ..organic is hard ...


i find when i go to sub d i loss alot of detail.


hahha sock puppet ..just seen that ..hahah cant have that lol

Dude

If you lose detail in Sub D its not a prob, just add another edge loop or two in that area
