hmm, it doesn\'t look very much like a lizard, more like a weird dinosaur. It is a good start though... what program are you using to make it?

Tapo: I believe he\'s using blender.

Taruk: First, what is the poly count (triangle polys, not quad polys)?  The head and snout look too round to be low poly enough.  Also, it looks kind of odd to have perfect cylinders on a creature.  Try to add enough random noise to surfaces to make them look natural.  Right now it looks too much like a box with cylinders attached.  See if you can connect them and make them look like they are all part of the same creature.  Granted, a decent skin could do a lot, but the model definitely has room for improvement.

Actually, it reminds me of a chocobo from FF :)

Don\'t take any of this personally, I\'m trying to be polite.  I certainly can\'t talk as this is waay ahead of what I was doing when I was 12 (I was just picking up Qbasic :P).  Keep up the great work!

No offence, but this lizard reminded me of an old manual meat grinder, which my mother used to have long time ago... (http://smaylik.by.ru/i/7.gif) Anyways I couldn\'t even do that, so...

I think I will make it look like it is one piece Like ArcaneFalcon said.
And it looks more like a dinossaur. Can someone put here a photo or drawing that could show me what I need to do? I will try to make it better....

I thought of giant chickens (for some reason never thought chocobo, I\'m ashamed...)

A lizard has four legs, and is low to the ground usually, they have slim bodies and short legs...

That is a cool picture Arcane, and google does indeed rock.

unless you go for the dinosaur style, in which the lizard can look ostrich-like:

Title: I think it isnt a lizard...
Post by: Taruk on November 03, 2004, 10:42:30 pm

I think that what I am thinking isnt a lizard It could be a new animal:
It has two long legs two short arms a long tail, it looks like a dinossaur. I am trying to make it look better now it looks like this...

(http://img9.exs.cx/img9/6113/lizard2.jpg)

It still needs a face and the legs are awefull but I think its better than the other one

I think if it doesnt look good finish I will try to make it like the drawing ArcaneFalcon posts

I will try to make it better.

And google really rocks. ;)

Yes, that looks much better, but there is still a long way to go obviously.

That does look better, and it does look like a Velociraptor, or possibly a Gallimimus.
I would put it\'s body on more of a slant, do it doesn\'t look like a bird, and make it longer.
