Wings 3D Sperm Whale

[Houdini]

Fancy name...

Well, this is my first work in Wings 3D. 1hr model and 1 week since I took my first contact with this terrific program.
Very ambicious for a first doodle, I tried to model Low-Poly for the first time and this model seemed to be very good to practice.

Nice wahle there Houdini! How about hitting SHIFT + TAB and grabbing a Quick Smoothed Preview shot so we can see what it looks like subd out. :tu:

Thanks Mentat7!

Here is the smooth version. I find a lot of mistakes on the mesh in this one...as the hole on top...but it´s my first and I feel good with it already. ;)

After doing this I watched Martin´s Mirai videos and I felt so shamed posting this... :( He really pushed that to top level modelling. :tu: :tu: :tu:

MENTAT7: I´ve changed a little bit of the head front to make it more quandrangular.

To make this scene the whale was captured in Wings 3D and colourized in Photoshop. I guess I exagerated on the light variations settings...

1st - Screenshoted the whale in Wings
2nd - In PS I used a flood light filter
3rd - Colour variation from greyscale to blue
4th - New layer with 2tones of blue gradient
And last but not least noise filter with a little sharp work.

I like your low poly whale. Though I think it would look a tad bit better if you added 6-8 more faces in the head area (round it out a little). BTW has anyone figured out the new UV mapping thing in wings? I have been able to map my models, but I don't have much of a clue as to how I am doing it.
