Title: check out the start of my klyros render
Post by: zaphar on August 14, 2003, 08:00:26 am: I haven\'t seen much art on the klyros race yet so I thought I would see about doing some.

(Coming from a guy that can\'t use 3d apps, his would be a box, no it would be a square)

Post by: Wedge on August 15, 2003, 02:33:15 am: Pretty good, just based on the concept drawing looks like it should be squeezed a bit so it\'s a bit narrower on the sides and front, and taller too. Good stuff though.
Title:
Post by: zaphar on August 15, 2003, 03:43:51 am: Yeah, I think your right. new render just finished with those very adjustments made. same link as above.

*poof wings magically appear right here->http://www26.brinkster.com/marzhill/images/klyros_render_wings.png

the wings aren\'t posed yet so they look flat and unnatural but I will do that later

Post by: Saphire on August 16, 2003, 09:09:48 am: omg... 8o

Post by: Monketh on August 16, 2003, 04:42:01 pm: Mmmm... Klyrosy. That\'s pretty cool, can\'t wait to see it when it\'s done.

Btw, what do you go by on PS saphire? I saw a \"Safire\" in the dungeons last night.

Post by: Wedge on August 21, 2003, 07:39:33 am: The host is not digging the remote linking, and there are no links to the images on the root site...
Title:
Post by: zaphar on August 21, 2003, 04:33:39 pm: hmmm when did they start doing that?

edit: the head on the model has changed upon examination of the intro screen in the game. tell me if you like or don\'t like the change :-)

Post by: seperot on August 21, 2003, 04:38:43 pm: hehe very nice i think the way your going you will have a fully animated version by next week :P
Title:
Post by: zaphar on August 21, 2003, 07:19:35 pm: Whoah!!! animated? hehe those are some lofty goals for little ol\' me hehe

I may do that though might be fun to animate the guy
Title:
Post by: Wedge on August 21, 2003, 07:36:35 pm: Animation??? Wow, maybe you don\'t know all the work true animation entails, rigging a virtual skeleton for a character ain\'t easy, and this here is a biped that has wings to boot. Well I sucked at doing that anyway. I guess like the rest of the stuff on the site you are using HASH for this? My class had that program one year; luckily I stuck to programming then, I couldn\'t stand that thing. It always crashed for people so they had to save like every minute. Does it run pretty stable for you? I don\'t know how much they\'ve improved it over the last year or so.

Post by: seperot on August 21, 2003, 08:04:09 pm: it was a joke you do know that right?!?!?! ?(

anyways its looking realy realy good keep it up :D

I haven\'t found a 3-d program yet that I didn\'t crash occasionally course I am not sure if its just because they all ran on windows or what.

In answer to your question though I don\'t crash it real often just occasionally I save everything after a major change anyway just because its a good idea generally to do so

Post by: zaphar on August 23, 2003, 12:31:55 am: and Zaphar said.... \"let there be arms\", and it was so.

Tell me what you think so far it still needs tweaking in a lot of places but its definitely getting there.

Post by: seperot on August 26, 2003, 01:35:26 am: it looks geat a bit skinny in the legs (add musles mabie ?( ) but great....
Title:
Post by: Wolfmane on August 26, 2003, 07:20:57 am: Looks great Zaphar, I\'m following this with interest and fascination. Btw which 3D renderer are you crashing, I mean using :P , now?

It is a Klyros Seperot, supposed to be skinny, not as anorexix maybe 8o, but skinny is good for Klyros.

Absolutely love the wing Zap!
Title:
Post by: seperot on August 26, 2003, 08:35:58 am: :rolleyes: i know that i was just saying that it could be a bit more musles do make him not look like a umm....anorexix

Post by: sashok on August 26, 2003, 08:50:19 am: looks awesome, how many polys is that?

Still in Animation Master. Maybe some day I will be able to afford Lightwave :-) but until then A:M is the best darn little modelling animation rendering package I have. it even does particle effects and hair :-)

It is sitting at right around 2000 patches total right now which translates to about 4000 poly\'s roughly I would guess. A:M master uses Spline based patches for its modelling technology. It doesn\'t have the slightest idea what a poly is.
Title:
Post by: sashok on August 26, 2003, 08:06:34 pm: that\'s good, I was thinking more. Do you know by the way how many polys are the models in PS.

and who si A:M master?

Sorry I don\'t know the poly count for PS models

A:M is a modelling animation and rendering package from Hash software.

Its full name is Animation Master.

Post by: lostprophet on August 27, 2003, 12:53:08 am: Majorly cool. Btw, has anyone here played neverwinter nights? Your renders look a lot like these lizard thingies in that game.
Title:
Post by: zaphar on August 27, 2003, 11:47:46 pm: The Klyros is finished. all modelling of all the major parts is done. He still needs a little tweaking and some clothes and to be posed. But all the major stuff is done the rest is just details

if you wan\'t to know how he turned out go here:

Post by: Wolfmane on August 28, 2003, 04:33:53 pm: Wonderful zaphar, you really outdid yourself!

I will be watching this space with interest for your next project!
Title:
Post by: zaphar on August 28, 2003, 04:37:35 pm: my next project will be to pose the guy I am working on a skeleton rig for him now

any pose requests? I will consider any pose within reason and attempt the one I feel is best? also if any Dev\'s want the 3ds Export it comes out to about 8000 poly\'s you can\'t use it in game(its too big of course) but its free for you to use/modify for anwhere else you want
Title:
Post by: seperot on August 28, 2003, 05:53:44 pm: how about the thinker pose

:P
Title:
Post by: Drilixer on August 29, 2003, 01:55:11 am: what about one where he is flying...maybe the supreman pose like this:
