 Gracious Professionalism is a compass, not a set of calipers. It should be used to guide what you do rather than to measure it. - Alan Anderson [more] |

Re: 2009 Summer Projects
This might be a good time to think about doing Kevin342's suggestion for an off season project....
"What if we create an animation of robots, team mascots, or any other characters in our AVA entries - all dancing to "I like to move it, move it"?" |

Re: 2009 Summer Projects
I've been experimenting with box modeling. This is a t-rex I made. Right now it's in its early stages, only 1100 polys right now. My top three priorities for improvement on this mesh are:
1. Arms- They aren't skinny like the stereotype 2. Feet - They're too small and couldn't physically support that 3. Head - Only got a basic shape right now. Adding eyes and nose could get ugly, so I was saving this for near the end. Also, I have no idea how to texture this thing. Should I just use a multi-object texture and change the mat id's of the polygons? http://img190.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=trexfronta.jpg http://img195.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=trexfront.jpg This is only the second model I've made without using a tutorial. What do you think? Is it a good start or am I doing it all wrong? Last edited by boehmz : 19-06-2009 at 18:36. |

Re: 2009 Summer Projects
I need to see a wire frame view that you see in your view port. I need to see the wireframe/poly view. then I could tell if you are doing it wrong.

The non-wireframe images are with meshsmooth applied, wireframe images are before meshsmooth. Also, which views(perspectives) are best when posting a wireframe? |

Re: 2009 Summer Projects
Tried a second time, this time following a tutorial. Here is the start of my head:
http://img257.imageshack.us/gal.php?...erspective.jpg I think it looks more like a velociraptor than a T-Rex, so I'm gonna try to make some adjustments. |

Re: 2009 Summer Projects
two things you need to research. Edge loops and edge flow. You are relying too much on mesh smooth to do your modeling for you. Your model should look perfect with only one alteration of mesh smooth. Not 2 or 3.
also how much reference pictures are you getting when you model this? Look at komoto dragons, snakes, and other lizards. Also I suggest you run over to toys R us and get a kick $@#$@#$@# T-rex toy to use as a reference. RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH! Toys and action figures are awesome when it comes to research. |
