Wading thru the waters of life aka Morning stroll of the Incubus

[Ron Harris]

The is a trial I am working on with modeling zif figures. The body is inspired from a design/zif model I viewed of Mentat7's and the hands made using Pusghetty's hand technique. The head model is one of my stock head tools to try out the scene. Fog is z and the water is psp flood effect plugin, and the jaggies were smoothed out a bit with Photoshop. The tail is a series of several torus's that were modified in z using deformations and tools>modifiers>initialize etc and resized moved and rotated into place and snapshot the segments as I moved and modified them...

Well done Mr. Harris, very well done!! :) :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :)

Hmmm...where's the hair? (inside joke) ;) :p Ron you may already realize this but tails are so much easier to make with zspheres than with a torus. I have included a very simple script showing the making of a tail.

Cheers buddy!

thnx Joe and Lon...I realize that about the tail....it wasnt until I was out of the zif mode that I realized I wanted him to have a tail....so at that point I did the ole torus trick :))))) and btw..I am painting up a hairy version..snicker...as we speak....looks a little different..I dont know if it helps the image any or not though.. :eek:

Michael
