DRAGONMAN-update

[owenc1979]

Hi Everybody, this is the update of my Dragonman, it's got no eyes. Still have to look for nice dragon eyes. Anyway, it would be good to hear your comments and critics.

[Cyrenn]

That is off the hook!!!!!!!

That rocks man, Great JOB!

Please teach me how you texture like that.

I really need to brush up on my texturing. Could I ask you for help, My character is almost done. But would really like to understand how specular really works and all.

Here's my model, shes about ready to be textured.

Hey I was born on CLark AFB.

But moved to the states when I was 4. I have alot of family in the Philippines.

Hi Cyrenn,

Thank you for appreciating my work. Yeah I could give you my process in texturing. It is a really painful process, it will hurt your hand, because of holding the mouse too long : ) Anyway, i'll email you. Would it be ok, if you could email me? so that I could give you some attachments. My email is owen@asia.bigfoot.com So, hear yah soon!, thanks again : )

Oh, by the way, Cyreen, What software are you using? Coz im using 3D Studio Max6. So, you are a PhilAm, cool! Where in the Philippines where you born? ayt later! : )

[ianvox]

owen youre the man!

[Cyrenn]

Ya I was Born on the Air Base, I think the air base is gone since Pinatuba Volcano blew its top.

Paponga I think near Angeles City.

Gezzz I can't seem to get any sleep. My sping break is over, and I got school tomorrow its like 5:30 AM have to be at school at 7 to get my schedule. Hope I don't have double classes. :grr:

Yes Im using Max 6 as well.

Thats really kewl of you to help me out. With texturing. You got some mad skill there.

I don't care if its the most grueling way to texture. Obviously its gets some amazing results. :D

DO you happen to use texporter, its really good plugin for Max.

Are you in school still or are you already working in the 3d industry.

By the way Kick Ass website to.

Mine still need to be worked on.

Hi Talbain, thanks for your comments. I will be updating my work coz it still have no eyes. and still have to put some light on it. : ) Thanks again.

[[X]treme]

damn, very very nice

i'm half philipino, but honestly I don't know anything about the culture, and i've never been on that hemisphere, lol....

incredible model, looks like it'd be great for an animation (suggestion, maybe? :D )

Hi Xtreme,

Cool, so your a PhilAm : ) that's nice to know that there are lots of PhilAm Artist out there. Hope someday you could visit the Country and get to know your roots : ) Thanks also for the compliment on my work. Yeap, ill be animating this dragonman and his arch-enemy lapu-lapu. They will have a fighting sequence, but I have to make a storyboard. anyway, ill update you once it is done : ) thanks again. Ill check out you link too!

[arnelar]

Nice work! Can i have your autograph? :-)

[secobb]

He looks mean,

Can you give us a wire or a non textured render and maybe give us a textured render but with a white background. I really want to see the modeling detail. Also try using a transpecency map on the bottom of his wings so they look more transparent. Make the entire skin more transparent and make the veins opaque. Like bat wings.

Hi Secobb,

here's the wireframe, and textured render with white background. And for your suggestion, yeah, illtry to do that. But what im thinking is this dragonman's got thick skin, well, maybe a lil transparency on the wings, ill try : )

[owenc1979]

this is the textured render.

[owenc1979]

oh and the eyes, is somewhat white because it is raytraced, the white background reflects on the eyes, sorry bout that.

[owenc1979]

heres another one.

[owenc1979]

oh sorry forgot to put the image

[owenc1979]

and another one.

Hi MrBraun, thanks for taking time to view my work. I already put a biped on my character, i will be animating this Dragonman soon, and he will be interacting with another character I made. Hopefully i could post it in the Animated Section here in 3DT:) Thanks again. : )

[nafi]

Woah!!!!Awesome work dude. The model looks simply amazing.

Great work:D

Hi Nafi, thanks for your comment. I will be animating this dragonman sometime, next week, Ill keep you updated. Thanks again.

[chaos_seed]

Hi man I didn't saw your dragon it's true that our have similarity !
That's fun 'cause we did'nt saw each others work before !!!
Well yours is a lot more advanced that mine !You did a great texturing job on him it's amazing !
However I would just say somthing about the proportion or the pose beacause he is too heavy for the pose you've put it into it'll end on the back...I suppose he'should be leaning forward a lot more to compense the wings weight...

Anyway great work there !!!I have to do a vampire with wings Yours looks pretty fine !!!nothing moreto say except that i can't wait to see the animation !!!If you have rigginr problem don't hésitate I'm quiet good at this stuff !

[owenc1979]

Hi Chaos,

Thanks for the comment:) Sure, i will really need some good advice on the rigging part. Ayt, later, Ill keep you updated on my animation soon :) Thanks again.

[secobb]

owenc1979: Hummm i think maybe you need to mess with the defuse a bit he does not reflect light very well. Im not sure if you have one already but a spec map would add tons to him. Also a translucency map would add alot to the leathery wings, it would give them depth. Becuase on skin the light is reflecting off of the underlayers not the surface. I have some good texturing tutorials in pdf form if you want them PM me and ill email them to you. Mostly they have to do with diferent maps and not much with materials, you should try some variations of diferent materials. If you modify some of the atributes on cell shaders you can get a really cool looking translucency that mimics skin quite well.

[secobb]

I sent you the pdf file I hope your yahoo account is big enough for a 3mb file. If not maybe I can transfer the file over AIM, and if that wont work I can give you a email address on my server. (it dosent have a file size limit) Let me know

[chaos_seed]

sorry t intrude but I'd love to have those to !!!i'm not pretty good at organic texturing and good tutorial on this subjects are hard to find !

[hells angel]
