This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Dragon:What do you think?

Hi guys, I just came across some free time and decided to use it to model something organic, which I rarely do. This humble little dragon is what I have so far. Let me know what you guys think and how to improve it.

Thanks!

Very good start indeed!

I like it, I would watch the front legs though ... Looks like it has somehow one bone only, instead of three and an elbow. Maybe look into a crocs reference, or perhaps if you´re aiming for a higher standing creature, then go for a normal dog bone structure.

Gotta love those wings! user added image

Looks good, I’ve never been any good at modelling organic things (well I’ve never been very good at modelling anything particularly organic things). However I agree with adldesigner it needs an extra joint in the front legs.

Thanks guys, I'll take note of your suggestions. Croc references you say? Alright then! Off to Google I go! I'll probably just rebuild the whole thing. Maybe a slimmer dragon. I'll post it as soon as I get something done. Thanks again!
