Body is looking amazing now! I think that box would be cool if you placed it either on its backleg or under its belly inbetween the front and back leg.. somewhere where it wouldnt get into his way if he was in combat ;). Looking good though, still not sure about the wings. You have to animate that though.... it trying to fly... hahaha.

looking good.. i think the place is right
just add loads of straps now to hold it all.

love the chain :O

thanks M,Wiz and al

here is the box under its belly....what do you think?

I think thats quite nice.. just because its not like its pertruding out of its side... the one other thing that i thought you could do.. is like rip out a chunk out of the side of its body.. and yea.. then fit it in there.. kinda like it was surgically implanted. Im not sure though. Thats looking sweet where it is, it makes sence. You could make it more visible though and move it over to one of the two sides a bit more, not dead smack in the middle. I really like it so far!

thanks M....i might do it


K ...im packing my computer now...so this is my last post.....see you all in about a week or so....

dunno if you've thought about it at all, but i think trying your luck at the fur effects Maya has to offer could add a lot of realism to the model. it's looking excellent overall, though, good job!

the modeling of the body is really well done, congratulations !!!
Only the controling device isnt so nice, i think that it dont matches the style of ur pet, u should try to think in something diferent, but that is just me

thanks for the commets....
i just got my internet up and running..but i havent had any time to work on the model...
ill try and funish it by the end of the month

Hey tweek, long time no post. Its sad you cant wip out a scene, but that bear alone is awesome.

It's a really good model anyway Tweak. Maybe you can finish it when you get your PC back up and running as it would be nice to see how it turns out. But it is a good piece of work as it is imho. Good stuff. Don't forget to pop the pic in the final render section, it deserves it's place :)

hey tweek.. great efforts this month man! This model is great and even the final render you have provided is quite nice! Cant wait to see this thing finished when your computer is back up and running. Thanks for joining.
