Twisted Vertex Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 The wireframe looks somewhate decent from what I can see. I would like to see some better views of the flatshaded version in order to make a complete comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmas Posted September 2, 2002 Author Share Posted September 2, 2002 As you can see its a very archaic model that really needs help. I need more polys to add to it for realism but its not even half of the way there. I got textures for it though. http://jurassicparktc.8m.com/trexflatshade.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Vertex Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 What I ment was......take screen shots of the perspective view, Crop them out in a paiting progamn, and recompile them togther on one Image canvas. I'll then be more than happy to show you where you need extra polyogns, and cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Vertex Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 *last post on forum* If your going to do a total conversion, your probably going to add aniamtions. What you need to do is look at what you have, and figure out where the extra polys need to go for a smooth deformation. I made a sample pic to get you started....The eye area could use some work. You could achieve this probably by making a series of cuts in a circle pattern. On the third or second pass, Which each circle getting smaller, do a negative extrusion...This will make a nice little socket. With the series of cuts you made before hand, You have some polygons to play with to make out a proper facial features. http://www.woopadesign.web1000.com/dino2.jpg I would suggest you also add some polygons to the main body, just to give it a rounder apperance. Just a question..Did you use a side profile of a T-rex when you where modeling him out? ...If not try to incorpoarte this method..its called retroscopy...It's a fantastic way to creat realstic models. Another Tip is to work with halves, when it comes to came models that are symmetical. Then when you finish the one side, you mirror your image and weld the verts togther to create a seamless model. If you have any questions email me at Joe@williamirvine.com You probably occasionaly catch me online... aim handle musashi1101 Good luck EDIT.....I forgot to add the bit about the legs, Which they looks great from behind, But looks messy and distorted. You probably can get away with just manipulating the verts a bit. Jay.....what the hell is that about ? wait nevermind, I am not anticipating an intelligent response from you so....

Sounds Risky Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Why did you take that model from Trespasser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmas Posted September 2, 2002 Author Share Posted September 2, 2002 Because I talked to most all pro's of modeling, and they said they couldn't do dinos at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sounds Risky Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 So you're only going to use the dinosaurs from Trespasser? That won't give you very many, plus some of them are a bit inaccurate. You wouldn't even have Pteranodons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
