Hey Peter! Did you use meshsmooth or turbosmooth on this one?

[Peter Salvatore]

turbo why
i can send without it also

The start is really quite good,hopefully you'll be able to keep the rest of the model this clean:wave:

[poopipe]

thats looking pretty good.

I think if you work a little more on looping around the eye and nostril areas you'll be able to remove quite a few polys without losing shape - this will help you define the forms better too

I've attached a quick paint over that I hope should demonstrate where your main loopy areas want to be

[Peter Salvatore]

hmm ok thanks
I will look at it

[sarN]

i know you get a lot of crap on these boards but i just wanted to say that this is actually looking really good! your skills are definitely improving. keep it up

[Reb0rn]

scheisse, who are you and what did you do to the old salvatore?! this is really looking good! there's just one thing, his lumps on the head looks a bit square, got any plans for the modeling there?

great job

[Peter Salvatore]

haha thanks guys
ya maybe i have to make them a bit more round
I will model the whole model
i hope it will be better

thanks peter

[Shadow Wolf]

man these face muscles are really looking good, as soon as you give volume to the mesh it will look spectacular!

[Peter Salvatore]

thanks shadow wolf

peter

[Pirateguybrush]

Huge improvement over your last work. You should still improve your loops though.

[Peter Salvatore]

thanks

Peter

[neolith]

Wow,i'm impressed.Just dont rush it,Peter,the loops could use some improvement indeed,but you're really off to a good start with this one.Just dont rush it and dont be afraid to spend some time for correcting your errors,rather than moving to the next part.Good job so far!

[Peter Salvatore]

thanks neolith it will be better i think

peter

[kleutscher]

im impressed :)

i gave you up a long time ago but always followed your threads for a good laugh.

but this one has a really nice start. but dont go to fast .step by step

[PHE Ash]

hey peter
good start
i would suggest you try boxmodeling once you have some spare time. i think you could work a lot faster with that. just start with a box and extrude your head out of it. then start refining it. and only add edges where you need them.
that should make your models easier to handle and much lighter.

[Jynks]

Nice looking stuff.... I really like nurbs as well and i think tis is looking very good. keep it up...

[Peter Salvatore]

thanks jynks
thanks phe ash also since now i was doing with box modelling but when try to go wih simple plane i think i found it more efficent than the other one but as I said its a point of view.I have even trien splines and nurbs before in other programs bt poly by poly makes you to see the details much better box is also good for some mechanical things I think box modelling is better

[Bigley]

I am even hearing the improvement ;P it almost brings a tear to my eye!

totally agree, but as said dont rush it Peter. Stop continuing and redo the edge loops in the head. Then go on on your way to glory.

[Peter Salvatore]

ok trex thanks

peter

[Peter Salvatore]

[Trex2001]

oh dear, you rushed it...

[Peter Salvatore]

why?

Peter

[AutopsySoldier]

out of all the animals in the universe you picked a giraffe...lol....it's looking good, keep it up!

[Peter Salvatore]

thanks autopsy
with textures and enviroment I think it will be better

thanks peter

[Pirateguybrush]

It's not bad, but proportions look a bit off. Also....

ALWAYS POST WIRES.

[Bigley]

oh dear, you rushed it...

*sigh* indeed...

[Aleks]

with textures and enviroment I think it will be better

thanks peter

Don't you ever have this thought again! It might look a bit better with those things,but you have to make sure that the model itself is decent enough to even start the texturing.Right now it's not.
People told you not to rush,but you didn't listen again. Delete the body,look at what poopipe showed you,redo the topology and start making the rest of the model again!

[Reb0rn]

Yeah, you totally rushed it, seems as if you only wanted do do a good giraffe head.

listen to aleksandr, you need to rework that body.

the head looks great though :)

[DaddyDoom]

The head was coming out nicely...
Those legs seem to have been run over by a Safari jeep full of drunk prep boys from some University at Alabama :(

[Peter Salvatore]

but if you look the legs of the giraffe are think thats why i can look again

[Nippur]

maybe this could help

I´m actuallly beginning to think Peter´s some other forums meber´s alt-nick,

I have the same feeling every once in a while... But then it's time to go and do something else.

No really, it's impossible to fake that "english"...
He's real

If so, it's a major trick! "Peter" is on every CG forum you can imagine. Seriously, go check if you don't believe me.

I see big improvement in the head. Hmm. I wonder why the body doesn't match the quality. :wall::hurt:

[inveni0]

Holy crap, Peter. Listen: DELETE EVERYTHING BUT THE HEAD! Seriously. The head was a HUGE and MONUMENTAL step in the right direction for you, but you took a big crap in my smile when you modeled the body. So, start over with the neck and body. One step at a time. You can do it!

[!ToM]

I've been following your stuff for a while. For sure, your head does look like you have improved.

I agree with everyone else, the body was a bit rushed. Time and patience will improve your model. The giraffe looks really wrong from the side.

It helps me, I don't know if it will help you but I like to draw out my subject before I model just so I have a more familiarity with the subject.

Also these guys are giving you some awesome advice. Take the advice and your giraffe will be 100x better. And you always get better by practicing.

I look forward to updates. Keep it up.
