Hmm, k new design in the works.

Sounds good to me on the model work Z, I\'m still working on a class-1-type-c demon with anim8or, only get to put about 3 hours a week into it =/

The computer I was using to model with crashed yesterday, I hope to fix it, I don?t think that it is gone, but I may not get it back for a while, I could always start over but I am to lazy right now? :rolleyes:

LOL, yeah I would be too, losing mass amounts of hours in a flash sucks man. I was working on a 3D model with Anim-8-or early today, dummy me didn\'t save jack and it already hit the 7 hour mark. *cries* F\'n storm rolled in, power flashed for just 1 second, gone. Few hours not much but man I had the face all setup to be placed in a head *cries* I was looking forward to finishing the head too.

Other than that I haven\'t been here in a few days, have some hackers around Aussie Land force feeding crap on to my system, so been off the net alot. Norton didn\'t even see the viruses and trojans, so I downloaded Stinger and whamm, it killed a bunch of them. Probably will need to check the system again after this post. Bastages are getting through me hardware firewall too, think I\'ll get 2 more and daisy chain them =/

PS finish the toad Z! =) Start over if ya need to, it was looking sweet man.

As for obtaining 3DsMax Free, I do not know were you can get it legally, found mine in IRC channel while I was asking around about 3D stuff. (Not sure if it is legal but probably not, I do not have $2k right up front to spend on my hobbies?)[/size]

If you are a student, I hear you can get a discount on 3DsMax so it will cost you about 500$ or is that Maya? I do not know?

If you are looking for a Free Legal alternative to 3DsMax then I hear that Blender is excellent: http://www.blender3d.org/
You could also try Milkshape & Wings3D

Ack, no not free, need to pay something at least. The company that lets you download along with the serial number does it legally. Think they made some kind of deal with Adobe and Microsoft on purchasing mass amounts of users and then sell those seats to us.
Kewl gunna check out the alternatives as the Maya demo cared not for my system. I had a free one but lost the copy to it during the moving around over the years, it was a really kewl program (Ryhno beta program) on getting supper detail on models.
As for the model I was thinking of making arenas for Unreal. The external enviroment\'s I plopped huge stones onto the surface, submerged some, to give that clump look to it. Could try making randomly sized rocks and layer them onto the back side. Kinda like one layer of rocks, chunky, then smooth them onto the surface with it\'s own texture. Rocks that are small to large, rotate each upon appling. Add more layers till reaching desired density with less smoothing as you get to the last layer so you have a smooth chunky rock appearance. I do remember Dreamscape allowing you to map in such a way that you can isolate multiple textures on the same surface. Not sure if your program has a feature of such.

Morgura pinned it but I can see how it would be hard to reverse the image to it\'s original bone structure. I\'ll throw in a skeleton model of the creature today for more detail for ya. Alot of it\'s bone structure was lost when I added all the flesh and rock to it. Best thing if anything would look at a frog thats stretched out on slab (belly up) kinda like back in school when ya bout to degut it >=)

They would have high potential as a form of ingredient in crafting potions/spells. A gormet dish for the Kran as well, give something for the cooks to profit from them. Than strickly gardeners selling enriched mineral dishes =)  But ya know it just a slab of processed cow pie with a sprinkle of rock =O

*sniffs at the bag of gems* aye, I got a stinker in there

Kewl man, I have no problem if ya wanna make a 3d model.  It\'s looking nice and I like the texture/coloring, though the back side gunna be a pain of sorts.

Aye, new skeleton model I\'m working on now is true to human. Though it will probably be back to the skinny lil girl in time. EQ Elf babe was... well made to target men similar to the Beer babes, to draw upon customers as it\'s stereo typed that males play more than females. But studies showed about 51% of gamers are actually female, which ranged in games that you would find males playing. Though when Verant felt a little heat, the new version of the Elf female lost alot of...top side. As for her Bicep, I try to add alot when it comes to armor. Like cloth, padding, chain/scale/ring, then plate/over lapping plate and finally additional plate on top of that. So it tends to end up bulking out when all added together. I\'ve always been a HUGE fan of the armor in Excalibur, very bulky (dark iron), though their polished armor later in the movie was a tad bit thinned out =/.

Jump into Class1-a (lessor demon) bottom of thread has an example of stick figuring or could look at it as guide lines. Well thats how I had drawn (stick figures) till another artist changed my perspective. If you can do stick figures, you can do guide lines and if you can do guide lines, you draw some kewl stuff.
