Ok, slight adjustments to eye area on T-Rex.(See Image 4 above)Remember we only have skeleton systems to work with when trying to create art of these beasts ,the muscular structure and facial expressions we see in other art is done with some science of animal anatomy and artistic interpretation.Skin texture such as scales or bumps,even facial expressions are artistic extrapolation.Remember Hollywood is not always right. Anyway thanks for the feedback I do appreciate constructive criticism.Maybe I'll come back to these later.

Should they be meaner looking?Less round?

Yes David, Akira is correct about the technique, just delete the layer you don't want after you finish the "contour conform" task.I have experimented with this technique using copy tool as well, it works good.Just create new tree layer-use different shader than base mesh-draw with copy, then use extrude or airbrush etc. to add thickness. In this example I just merged volume 5 with volume 6.

I'm really looking forward to voxel painting.I think this will add a whole new dimension to the potential of creating complete static art in voxel mode only. Andrew says wait till 3.0 comes out then new features will be implemented.Can't wait to see what the future holds for this program.

Tyrannosaurus Tyrannosaurus , meaning 'tyrant lizard',is a genus of theropod dinosaur. The famous species Tyrannosaurus rex ('rex' meaning 'king' in Latin), commonly abbreviated to T. rex, is a fixture in popular culture around the world. It lived throughout what is now western North America, with a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Up to 13 metres (43 ft) in length, up to 4 metres (13 ft) tall at the hips, and up to 6.8 metric tons (7.5 short tons) in weight. Wiki I bet I could take him in a fight. Long way to go. Edit:Updated t rex.Changes as suggested in eye area.Thank you GED and silentman for input!

Hi David, thanks for the comment, I really enjoy making these.I'll try to answer your questions. Wow, these are really good looking! I have a few questions - do you just use the stock pen textures that come with 3DC or have you got a pool of extra ones stashed away? If so can you comment on your process for creating and using these. Would you say it's more of a time saver than a necessity. Do you only use a small set of pens frequently and a few rarely used custom ones? Answer:I can usually get by just using the stock pens in Coat but do have a few custom pens I made in photoshop.If I have a special need for a new one I will make it in PS.Just right click on a pen in the pen pallet and click edit in ext. editor.Make a duplicate and create new pen.Custom pens can speed things up if you have a specific need for them and in some cases they are necessary. I'm a total rookie when it comes to detailing, my voxel sculpts always seem to look "out of focus" -- is this where you'd switch to texture/displacement painting - or am I just doing the scultping wrong? Answer:Are you using a high enough resolution on your meshes?Sharp details can only be achieved with denser meshes in voxel mode.Try to stamp the textures onto the piece instead of using brush stokes too often this can help to sharpen details.The extrude brush is good for getting sharp detail.Also don't over smooth.So far I do all of my work in voxel mode.I make heavy use of multiple layers with various density and resolution to achieve sorted effects. Colors are done by using different mesh layers and shaders. I hope this helps, if not feel free to ask, I will try to help.I'm hoping to do some video tutorials soon. Take care, Rick

Triceratops Bearing a large bony frill and three horns on its large four-legged body, and conjuring similarities with the modern rhinoceros, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs. Although it shared the landscape with and was preyed upon by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus, it is unclear whether the two battled the way they are commonly depicted in movies, children's dinosaur books and many cartoons. Wiki Always been one of my favorites.I used to like drawing dinosaurs as a child.I guess I never grew up.(And really don't want to)

Thank you artman.My hope is inspire others to explore the wonderful creative potential of this great application, 3D-Coat.I'm addicted!I think it's a good addiction though.

Happy Mother's Day! Don't forget to call mom.

Stegosaurus Stegosaurus is a genus of stegosaurid armoured dinosaur from the Late "Jurassic period" (late Kimmeridgian to Early Tithonian) in what is now western North America. In 2006, a specimen of Stegosaurus was announced from Portugal, showing that they were present in Europe as well.[1] Due to its distinctive tail spikes and plates, Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs, along with Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Apatosaurus. The name Stegosaurus means "roof-lizard" and is derived from the Greek στέγος-, stegos- ("roof") and σαῦρος, -sauros ("lizard").[2] At least three species have been identified in the upper Morrison Formation and are known from the remains of about eighty individuals.

Thanks guys. Tony Nemo:I always new it as brontosaurus also.I think I'll still call it that. Silentman:I would like to make some tutorials ,but think it's best to wait till 3.0 comes out so there is consistency with the interface.I'm sure there will be many to come.

One more for today. "A LITTLE REST AND RELAXATION"

"The Doctor will see you now" Just a little comic relief. :lol:

erklaerbar:Nope,no further plans with these models, just love to create them. Daniel:The wolf was real easy to make, ha, ha :lol: Silentman:Thank you, I have other Christ peaces I will post soon.I love Jesus!I will try to find time to shader and render "KING OF KINGS LAMB OF GOD"

To start this flood off I'll start with something simple. Just a room. Tomorrow:"The Doctor will see you now"

Well it's been a while since I posted anything in here.I've spent the last several months creating many new works that I will start posting today.(Hopefully one a day till all have been posted.)These works represent creations mostly done through Alpha 60.Some have been re rendered in latest alphas with gradient background.Though as of today I am having problems with shaders in latest alphas.Hopefully fixed soon. Not all of these are masterpieces, but as time goes on and 3D-Coat improves, as well as my technique, so will my work. All work done in voxel mode only.Various colors in these images have been done with shaders only. Looking forward to seeing a turntable gallery soon.

I have sent file to your GMAIL account.

For now I switch to custom nav. maya to accomplish this.

I believe the problem is with shadows.In my situation also.

Still having major problems with shaders in Vox mode.Build 81. 1st image as in view port 2nd image after pushing render.

That's awesome!

Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true Neil Young

Ah, you figured that one out.Hope to post the rest soon. I'm having problems with rendering refract shader in latest alpha.It renders invisible.
