Andrew Shpagin Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Very funny! I like concept It is so pity that I have no time to paint. I can imagine how it will look in arms of professional. Can I include "him" in Samples folder? I think it is better model then default wolf.

Maybe there is sharp edges in source file. Use "Ignore smooth groups" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member lc8b105 Posted August 29, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Maybe there is sharp edges in source file. Use "Ignore smooth groups" Thanks,that works! So if Juan Carlos agree to include this model in Samples folder,Andrew don't forget to make the default setting "Ignore smooth groups" for this model.

Advanced Member lc8b105 Posted August 30, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 What is "light drawing"? Is it draw on specular channel? I think he means "draw slightly"/"draw a little"/"draw a bit",etc... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Shpagin Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Wow! I love result! Maybe top part seems to be too uniform. Maybe light cavity will help. Or maybe blob at the top can be transformed to horn to break uniformity:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Skaven252 Posted January 9, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 My turn! I used the creature mesh to practice and learn using 3D-Coat. Comments on what techniques I used: - The blue skin is the default "elephant skin" material painted thru the material mask. Tried some other materials on the back too. - I used Retopo / Use Current to add an extra edge loop for the eye. The texture from the old model was projected to the new retopoed one. Handy! - The rings around the trunk were painted by using the "Draw with splines" tool. It's easy to draw the spline around cylindrical shapes like these. - I used Cavity / Height masking in various places to put color / specularity in heights and cavities - I Froze the skin on the feet to draw the "trouser leg" edge. - The pink scale pattern on the creature's belly was a Hexagon volumetric fill, applied by freezing the belly, then inverting the freeze pattern to freeze everything but the belly - You see some inadvertent flaws here and there. They were caused by the Clone Tool menu click bug, and were not undoable. - I could have broken the symmetry on the creature's back by painting over it, but I didn't... All in all, it was a great learning experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
