Character WIP - Triceratops

pentagramma · 09-03-2004, 05:39 PM

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!

GREAT

IDownupI : Thanks!

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 · 11-03-2004, 08:44 PM

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!

Downup · 12-03-2004, 02:59 AM

GREAT

This with texture will be GREAT

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...

ShinDig · 11-04-2004, 02:29 AM

Yeah the head looks alot better now, the old one just didn't look right to me, but i think you have hit the nail on the head

now!

Keep the update's coming!

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 · 12-04-2004, 02:22 AM

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.
