3D) pterosaur

[Icefalcon]

Its good, except I don\'t like the top of the head. The blue doesn\'t fit in IMO.

[Adeli]

Agreed, I think a dark red would suit better

[Enter_the_Xero]

The skin looks a little way too colorfull for my taste... Here are some of my suggestions,

1) Remove the blue skin on the head...
2) The red parts should be more yellow...
3) The tounge should not be that sharp at the end...
4) The skin around the eye doesn\'t fit in too well either...
5) Some parts are too dark...

[Shadowfalcon]

I dont think the color looks right either. I would emove the blue, and the red on the leading edge of the wings looks too saturated. tone it down a bit and see how that looks. great model, just what a pterasaur is supposed to look like

[Shadowfalcon]

by the way, what is this going to be used for? a kind of mounted steed prehaps? i like the idea, but i would prefer a dragon instead... but anyway, are the devs puting ridable creatures into CB?

Oh i see, thanks Zeraph. But will there be aerial dog fights? I would love to see two megaras fighting in the sky...

[Zeraph]

As would I, that\'s one of the reasons why I\'m thinking of modeling a magara, going to ask Dev\'s about it later...
(maybe I\'ll get concept on it or something) Who knows...
there will be (I suspect) different \"mounts\" to rid also as I have read...

Thats part of my nifty site...  :rolleyes: My link has all that and more.

No-one ever seems to have noticed from previous Pterosaur-pics that the wings are different, so to add more realism you should change the bone-structure of the wings (note the place of the lower-, upper-arm and the long hand), also the legs are too long and separate from the wings and tail.

By the way, only a few small Pterosaurs had such long tails, all the big ones had not.  (oh, seem to remember Moogie already said that...)

Apart from that you can see that you can use almost any head you like, they\'re all Pterosaurs

Of course you dont have to change it (I like the tail myself), it\'s just more realistic, however changing the wings and legs would really look much better

Keep up the good work

Plus, all artwork of dinosaurs is speculative, and made up of assumptions, they can not adequately conjure an image of a dinosaur\'s appearance, as the fossils are of bone, there may have been body parts thar were not bone, thus no trace would be found of them.
This is evident in all the mistakes and misclassifications there have been in paleantology in regards to dinosaurs.
So the actual wing shape is more guesswork than fact.
I for one like the wings better on the body with the long tail.

Edit: These links talk about difficulties with fossils.

Plus there is good old human idiocy...

   

For example, when Robert Plot found the end of the thigh bone of a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur in England in 1677 he thought it was the fossilised testicles of a giant!

Adeli, firstly men has become a bit more knowledgeable since 1677 so great mistakes like that are not made anymore. Secondly, there has been found a great amount of Pterosaurs all over the world, most of which died at the sea, so they were well conserved in mud, as a consequence there are also many impressions of wings and other bodyparts found


just wanted to mention that

[ArcaneFalcon]

Maybe I\'m just using a different picture for reference.

[Siberiantiger]

That\'s the first pic ever I\'ve seen with such legs (even with google I can\'t find one), mine are from a very good and recent book, but still your pic shows a different wing-structure and non-seperate legs

ah well, just wanted to give some criticism and suggestions, don\'t mind me if you don\'t want to, I\'m sure the model will become great

[ArcaneFalcon]

Well...I know that using google you can find pictures like that, because that is where I found that one.  Also, if you had read the first 2 pages you would have known that originally the tail was short, but I changed it to match the description on the PS website.  Realism has nothing to do with it.  This is a video game, realism can be defenestrated (look it up).  The constructive criticism is fine, but would have been more welcome a week ago I\'m afraid.  Thank you for your opinion though, if I make changes in the future I\'ll keep them in mind.

great model

well there are more than one flying dinosaur... and there are also \"without\" that \"balancing\" thing behind the head...
