Rhinolox Coleoidus

My entry for the Modeling Contest #17: Air Units. The name comes from the latin terms for 'nose', 'elephant' and 'squid', basically that means 'big-horned elephoctapus' despite the fact that it flies somehow.

Keywords:
Rhinolox, Coleoidus, Nose, Elephant, Squid, Horn, Beast, Flying, Evil, Monster, George Harrison.

I must say that I like the wrap very much. They look exceptional at certain parts on the sides and on the back.

And animation-wise, I wish I can see more of that lovely trademark 'nose' thing, maybe add an attack slam with it? :D I also thought that maybe, just maybe, the whole body could have a bit more bobbing up and down during the walk animation to give it a 'heavy creature' feel, since its kind of inspired by an elephant? :p

This is at least a 9/10 in my books, and it pretty much fits the warcraft3 style.

Wow, that is my most favourite critique ever. Wpart from the fact it makes me feel good, it is also a very good suggestion that i'll try to incorperate. It's interesting you mention about the horn, I was trying not to make the nose too outrageous to the point that it looks like a spaz, but maybe it'll look better in-game if it is a bit exaggerated. You never think about these things until you get a second opinion... Thanks again

This great model needs a portrait

has portrait anims.

I see, you haven't added any blood or death sound sfx, lame death :C.

oh yeah, that was next on the checklist :thumbs_up:

The choice of textures is pretty damn good.
I'm assuming that picture on the right of the preview is it's attack animation. If so, that's really, really cool. I'll test out the rest of the animations in-game later.

No :D It's the spell animation... and IT'S GREAT! :D I love you made it stretch it's mounth
