Character WIP - Triceratops

[pentagramma]

Hi there!

I´m modelling a triceratops. It´s done in Maya, using sub-ds and polygon tools.

The beak and horns are temporary; I´ll redo them entirely. I´m working now on the folds and shapes of the skin, particularly on the side.

Any critics are welcome! :)

IDownupI : Thanks!:D

Tonight , a huge facelift. I´ve found some new references, and remodelled the head proportions (hope it´s more like it).
The rear leg is awful, but now I have to sleep!

indeed, very impressive model, you must have a good puter to model like that in subd, mine would have a fit

[Neox]

nice work! but this is a pretty young one, isn't it? the head is pretty big for a triceratops, but maybe this is what you wanted to do, really well modelled!

DanielB: Thanks man! My machine isn´t special at all, but I´m patient...

Neox: You were right, thanks for the advice! I reshaped the head for - I believe - a more correct proportion for an adult triceratops. Hope it´s better now...

IDownupI: Thanks a lot! If everything goes well, the next update will be with a textured model...

very impressive model!!....just one crit....(dont hate me!!)....ur rear leg looks way more deined when compared to the front leg.......awesome model though.....keep the updates comin!!

[spliney]

Yeah! cool model! Indeed the rear legs must be bigger/fatter.. They should contain more muscle.

Is it true that Maya is slow when you model such stuff using subdivision?

ShinDig: Thanks! Glad you like it...

Cyrenn: Thanks a lot - the triceratops was one of my favorite dinosaurs as a kid, too!

hells angel: Thanks for the crit - I don´t hate you, you were right! I worked a little more on the rear legs, hope it´s better now.

spliney: Thank you! Hope you like these legs better. Maya is indeed very slow in sub-ds. Actually, after sometime I started using regular polygon/proxy smooth on this guy.

Cool work man. Keep up the good work

[pentagramma]

nafi : Thanks, I`m glad you like it!

Well, these are the first texture maps. I´ve painted them inside Maya - I´ll update them soon, in Photoshop. I hope to better define the bump maps, and create also new texture maps, for specular, diffuse, etc.
