F E L L B E A S T (LW>ZB)

[s o u t h e r n]

Got a little of that LOTR inspiration last night and made a LW Fell beast thats thrown off his Nazgul. I used the White Dwarf version of the Fell Beast as a reference for this one.

I modeled a low poly (well, low for me anyway lol) Beast in Lightwave and got him to fly over to ZB for a little (or a lot) of that ZB magic.....lots of goodies used for this beastie.

damn thats badass man.!!!. how many is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX polys though ;) huh?

overall its very good. the only thing that bothers me is the crotch area. notice that smooth curvy transition from the leg.. over the crotch .. and to the other leg?

[Mahlikus The Black]

OH... :eek:
MY... :eek:
GOD... :eek:

Its...
how did you...
what?!...

OH MY GOD!
*insert humbly bowing zsubject*
Amazing modeling (of course).
Texturing and bump are to die for.
OMG...are you gonna bone and animate it?

OH PLEASE! *jumps up and down*
Thank you for this and for filling the well of inspiration...This rocks!

[KenH]

Looking good! If I had any say in Weta, I'd get 'em to snap you up yesterday! ;)You say it's flying? Let's see the anim!

[s o u t h e r n]

Flying hmmm!

Sorry Ken.....it was a metafor for 'Still editable in my favorite program even though it has a gazillion polygons :)

Not actually got this baby rigged yet I'm afraid.

Glen

[KenH]

Oh right! :)
I think he'd animate well actually. How'd you make the low poly in LW?

[Mahlikus The Black]

if he says box modeling..I am going to throw up everywhere..lol.

Don't you with ZB would support n-gon and a few good standard 3D modeling toos (Knive, bevel,..etc.). Whats the texture size on that baby..4096?

[andreseloy]

Southern your model is fantastic and also the texture. A lot to learn from or with you.
Congratulations
ps:your tut is very didactic...thanks again

[Ron Harris]

glad I had my dentures glued in place when I saw this coz my jaw dropped and hit the keyboard...outstanding work Glen :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Mentat7]

Spectacular Wyvern-looking chap you have there Glen! A gazillion polys??? Well it isn't anywhere near a googleplex of polys so it can't be all that many :D


[EDIT] Lol! I just noticed it has made the front page at CGTalk. Looks like your bandwidth is about to go out the window again Glen!! LOL :D

[zerobugetgamemaker]

Wow, that is awesome Glen

[andreseloy]

[Viral Blue Box]

Absolutely stunning Southern. Thanks for sharing, and welcome back.

[Skaven252]

Really like the design of this creature... it's got a long neck and a small head, like a diplodocus, and the legs look cool too. Awesome work!
