Cool stuff.

I think you should open a plane 3d, polymesh it, sculpt about 9 alligator looking scales, grab doc to make it an alpha, and drag with the standard brush to add texture. Make some varying alphas that way, and just go to town with a sprinkle of freehand. Do it on a 3d layer at the highest division level so you can adjust the intensity.

There’s no way color textures alone will make 3d light bounce off the skin like sculpted textures. This is too smooth, with no reptilian look, and seems unfinished because of that. Just my opinion. Truly though, otherwise, great sculpt and animation, can’t wait to see the end result.:+1:

thats looking pretty cool. my gut reaction is his eye line needs to be stronger and steadier, some thing seems a little odd with the ankle and how it shifts the weight also. cool nonetheless :+1: :+1:

#23

Thanks for the feedback guys! I decided not to go with the scales… just like the skin feel more and also didn’t want do make i look like other sculpts… Here are some more pics… will continue with textureing now…

This is looking very nice, especially since you’ve begun the texture. I like the mass of the beast and the pose is classic t-rex.

The arms feel a little short – this might work or even be anatomically correct for a t-rex but the amount of muscle connecting the arms to the torso feels incongruous given their length. This is further exaggerated by the large fold of skin that the arms seems to hang from.

What a beautiful looking Trex. I love how his skin is stretchy and natural looking. Great job!!

#26

I think this is my fav T-Rex model ever. I just love the proportions.

Hi,
Great T-Rex mate, nice form and nice subtle but, dynamic pose, the front on pic shows that very well.

I like the tension, although if you dont mind me saying, the trapezius muscle looks a little strong, or maybe a tad to sharply defined towards the neck.
That just my opinion though.

Great work, did you pre build in maya or something?

Looking forward to an update fella.

That’s good that you have “conviction” behind your decision making with your art. That confidence in your own ideas is what will make your art original. I think you made a good choice by at least adding some texture. Just do your thing, this is awesome.:+1: Can’t wait to see the end results!

Here is the final animation and a snapshot… trex just taking a little walk… nothing fancy. The snapshot is a little stylized but almost the same as in the animation… My ultimate plan was to but him in some more advanced environment but i got tired of it and didn’t have time…

thats freakin awsome man!!! 5 stars from me!!!

great reel too!!!

#31

Stellar image. Good work, man. It would be great to see some particulate dust in the air around his feet. It may even help give a sense of scale.

Nice shot, not to sure about the hippo texture. Doesnt really do the work justice after all the effort you have put into this to produce a great animation.

#33

Damn really nice dude!

#34

Wow! Nice animation too, you rock! 5***

#35

that animation is really impressive :+1: :+1:

#36

Thanks all for all the wonderful c&c!

Point, when u say it really resembles of a hippo texture… haven’t though about it before… =) perhaps a little odd…

btw, gave him a little ear now… or earhole…:smiley:

Glad you like my DVD!

awesome work! Has a real weight to the model and great work on the form.

#39

Sorry about this…but the nerd in me couldn’t resist.
From the front view it looks as if the angles in the leg are a little
Off. I did some doodles and a quick photoshop change to illustrate
how the bones fit together naturally. It will effect your pose a little, he’ll need to lean a little to his left for balance. If you make thse changes it will effect your animation too…

But, once again…killer rex!!

I think the pose is good,it’s hard to tell but i’m pretty sure that that look can happen if say he is moving his neck down at the same time he is turning it… Great sculpt and stellar pose also…Keep it up… :wink:
