modeling battletoads max 7

[Bigley]

Hey ppl
I am really big fan of the battletoads off of nes, sega, and super nintendo and I would eventually like to model then animate them. And I was wondering if anyone might have some good (non-pixelated) reference pictures of them like the one below...

My favorite is Pimple(center) then Rash(Left) then Zittz(right)

lol you are 16 years old and you remember battletoads thats inpresive.
when did you get interested in 3d?

[Bigley]

Hey Lazerus I have loved battletoads since I was able to grasp a controller...As for 3d animation our highschool offers it as a computer course. I am in my 2nd year (11th grade) of it my teacher can hardly find the modifier menu so everything I have learned has been self taught. And I am very happy to say I am one of the top 5 in the school and plan to do this as a career

[lazerus8102]

no kidding your school offers 3d classes wow. I wish I had a class like that at my high school. I had to go to college to take classes in 3d but I have been using 3d studio max sence I was 13. I am guessing you use Max too by your Icon, you should IM me some time I would like to see some of your work

I remember battletoads. Only played one game andthat was for gameboy (and im only 14).. oh man, hours of fun.

As far as modeling these guys, I would have to tell you to attempt to box model it.
Because from what I can remember, andform the picture above, they are basically human shaped/with a little bit of toad in them. Sorry I cant be much of a help .

I played battletoads once but I thought it was ninja turtles...

Lazerus: it wouldn't let me add you to yahoo or msn

rmxp: this is true but I am not very good at modeling muscles and for that matter...people

I believe everyone should play battletoads at least once...I have gotten very close to the end of the game and I am eagerly awaiting battletoads in 3d. Xbox owns the company that made battletoads.

hey I just had a great idea! you could get a battletoads Rom and screen capture any image from it that you would like, how could there be a greater refrence then that.....lol hope that helps.
also I only have AOL IM maby I should get MSN

oh about the not being good at modeling people.... if my Roms screencapture works you could take the images and insert them in the view ports as a traceable refrence if you don't already know how to do that it's (ALT + B)

[Bigley]

Hey man that was a pretty good idea.
