Modeling Competition #8 - Cavalry

[SuPa-]

Rawr

Almost done texturing the dragon part

 

[Hawkwing]

Dude.. how do you do that..

I try and try and try to scratch model and skin everyday but I get crap.

 

[HappyTauren]

You probably need to learn? It is not something you get instantly.

 

[SuPa-]

Dude.. how do you do that..

You practice... a lot

Dragon finished

 

[Hawkwing]

That is nice! lol..

Ya I know.. Your just so good. It makes me want to just get up there and be good straight away.

 

[Pyritie]

The wing's better than before, but it still looks funny. I know you're not going to fix it now, but if you decide to do something like this again, look at a bat wing for reference.

1. The membrane stretches to or past the rump
2. The wings are basically hands with really long fingers and membrane in between

 

[SuPa-]

Update

 

[Hawkwing]

Very good besides the gray stuff showing.. lol

Now how about that person.

 

[SuPa-]

The gray stuff is alpha (normal alpha doesn't work in 3ds Max) I'm too lazy to make the opacity map xD Which would take around 5 seconds lol

Well, made one anyway

 

[Hawkwing]

Lol.. ya I know what it is.. =P

 

[SuPa-]

My dragon eats all your models xD

 

[Hawkwing]

Hell, yes it does.

 

[Lord_T]

Yes... IT does...
Curse your kindness, Donut!!!

 

[Hawkwing]

[offtopic]Get on MSN, Lord_T.. I need MS3D help.[/offtopic]

Lord_T.. Don't feel bad.. your model is good.. Creative and pretty good for your first anims.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

Yes... IT does...
Curse your kindness, Donut!!!

lol i get it.

anyways...
the dragon texture looks great but the model itself look weird to me. the rear leg part look too skinny. and i really hate the way the head looks. should change it

 

[A.R.]

My dragon eats all your models xD

easily your best work yet, well done

 

[Xatoga]

Not to be too wankish, but a lot of people had already turned in models by the deadline. This seems like an extension specifically for SuPa. It's a great model, but isn't part of the competition factor about making a strong model within the allotted time? Mer.

 

[SuPa-]

Nah, Elenai also has to finish his model as well, and maybe others? I don't know. We didn't ask donut to make an extension, he just kinda did

Texture done
I really rushed the rider texture, so it sucks xD

 

[frostwhisper]

That face and hands need some more lovin' but overall nice.

 

[XS-Archangel]

beautifully done skin of the Saurus

 

[SuPa-]

No, I'm not giving you my thesaurus! IT'S MY BOOK

Anyway, thanks

 

[Hawkwing]

LOL..

That is awsome.. SuPa- should be banned due to too much awsomeness.

 

[DwarfZealot]

i dont get why it has guns, it looks pretty odd, other than that it's sweet

 

[SuPa-]

Big cannons are cool? xD

I took this into consideration and was planning on closing it since we already had many entries before the deadline, but I know that there were at least three people busting their butts to finish but still were short on time. Elenai, Dwarf Zealot, and Supa- were all working after the deadline, and I didn't want to put their efforts to waste. While this does seem a bit unfair, any and all of you still have the opportunity of a few days to resubmit improved models. After all, I do want to see only your best work here, and so far I haven't been disappointed.

Remember this contest if for fun, and although winning is fun, it's better (IMO) to have quality resources produced!

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

I should have worked on my model better than I actually did, though...
Next time, i'll take more time to make an awesome model...
The thing is that i really suck at making skins....

 

[Elenai]

I am working as hard as I can to get the animating done on my hulkrider (even with real life distractions)

must...keep..GOING!....GET ME SOME LEMBAS BREAD!

 

[SuPa-]

Rawr
Walk animation

Opinions?
It's a bit skippy and a little fast, but not sure

 

[Pyritie]

It rotates too much. You should bend the legs more instead of just rotating the whole body.

Maybe look at dogs for a reference; I do that sometimes.

 

[Hawkwing]

It looks like he as falling over his own legs. =\

The head hardly moves and I think the canon should shake side to side slightly.

 

[HappyTauren]

n00b supa! You ALWAYS forget to indicate that your animations are WIP!

 

[SuPa-]

A little update

HT, my bad xD
That was the first time that's happened nub

 

[Hawkwing]

I guess we are just pointing out the obvious.

Edit: Looking a lot better.. You need to make the head move like a said.. Or the neck rather.. Cuz it looks like his head is just rotating with the body.

 

[donut3.5]

Looks nice, will he fly too?
--donut3.5--

 

[Hawkwing]

I think it would be cool if he had like a Walk - 2 animation where he jumped up and flapped his wings keeping him up for about 3 seconds.

 

[SuPa-]

Hawkwing, I actually had that planned, but I'm not sure if I will
I need more suggestions for improvement, kthxbai

 

[frostwhisper]

Hmm... I still think he should contract his limbs more and have less of that entire-body movement. But I'm not an animation expert...

 

[SuPa-]

Yeah, I get what you mean

Update

 

[frostwhisper]

Yes, it is improving. It looks quite good now.

 

[SuPa-]

Rawr, folded wings back and did some other stuff
I think it's just about finished
Now I just need to do all the other anims (And tweak stand) xD

 

[Hawkwing]

I think the head should move a BIT more.. It is turning out really well.

 

[Callahan]

His anims need to be ample.And perfect synchronization of it's rear legs is unatural.
Otherwise it's good.

 

[SuPa-]

Lulz big texture xD You peeps can compress the texture yourself (rofl)
I also need to add attachments

 

[markone]

wow Supa really gr8 model!!

but question here abt walk animation, why u move front legs and rear legs at same time. i mean he walk like jumping... i think that it will be way bettter if right/left side start moveing a little later

 

[Dr00d]

Exactly what I said.

 

[frostwhisper]

Hate to break it down to ya Supa, but the model crashes WE.

 

[Hawkwing]

HAHAHA.. well that is just too funny..

Makes me mad cuz it is such a good model.

 

[HappyTauren]

frostwhisper, how come he got in-game screen then?

 

[frostwhisper]

Beats me... just test it so we can figure out if I'm wrong, ok?
