I for one would love to see a texture tutorial. iseem to be struggling to get the look I’m after with zb.

Just one comment on the model. The lower jaw appears to have no muscles that would clamp it shut, much the same as if you clench your teeth , you can feel the muscles bulge . It almost looks to flat to me.

I did just have a scan on www and alot of the images of raptors do seem to have this look though. Maybe its just me that thinks a bit of muscle would look better. ANyway keep up the good work

el-d: I know what you mean about the jaw muscle. I have modelled it, it can be seen most clearly on the reverse perspective view. It hasn’t really shown up very well on some of the renders. The reference images i worked from of the jurassic park raptor don’t show much external muscle on the jaw either. Although when you look at it straight on you can see that the throat inside is quite narrow in relation to the outer surface suggesting that there is some substantial musculature on the jaw but is in’t all bulging out externally. I don’t really know enough about how the underlying skeleton lies in relation to the outer skin to explain it any more than that. Your guess is as good as mine! They must have had pretty big jaw muscles tucked away somewhere!

I’ve been busy finishing something else off so I’ll hopefully do the zscript over the next day or so.

Ok after a few mishaps I’ve finally got the zscript tutorial done. Click here to be taken to it in the tutorials forum.

Cheers

This model is very nice, I liked very much:D and you have good skill…
I would like tell, that you could make some deformation on the tail, because it´s hight.:+1: :+1:

Wow!:grimacing: thats 1 of the most amazing dinos i’ve ever seen! I’d say it allmost beats the JP dinos :slight_smile: and the texture is great!

Only a few suggestions from me: i’d make the snout longer and a little sharper and the body looks a little to wide(mostly at the arms and legs), also the ‘eyebrows’ should be a little longer and u should see a little shape like that on the snout itself too and a little more of a belly
but as dinofan i’m just refering to the anatomy of the ANIMAL and NOT the greatness of the MODEL ;):laughing:

Keep up the good work!
EDIT: just saw the texture script: great!!!:+1: but u might wanna keep the polycount down a little for ppl without 1 or 2 GB RAM :slight_smile:

Thanks darkfire I’m glad you liked the model. However I ‘finished’ the model a while ago and will probably not be making any more noodle adjustments to it. As with all dinos a certain amount of licence is taken as nobody can produce a reference photo to work from!:smiley:

#28

It´s a really a good tex and model work, i like it.

You must animate the raptor :wink:

And insert it in a prehistoric jungle.

Cool

velo mod.jpg Compaired to some pics iv seen on internet ive made some shape modification that could be interesting for th general looking…

#30

Never trust internet pictures of dinos…

Lol

#31

i kinda liked the Thicker look you had because it looked different. …you know maybe some dinos did eat well!:smiley:

#32

Lets face it - all images are guesses! Have fun, let your mind free. :smiley:

#33

Yeah, all pictures are gussed, but some anatomicals things are logical : legs nust be slimer, slimer than the body, and the raptor seems to have a longer a slimer neck…

#34

Well a Raptor is actually somewhere in between the 2 models/pics only… with a belly!! :slight_smile: Lol Sebcesoir you made him look like a gallimimus a little there :smiley:

Ps: how did you made those adjustments?? did u use photoshop for it??

#35

Yeah thats exactly what I wanted to draw!!!
A galli… glini… galimini… gali what??? Whats that…!
Sorry for the poor modifications! Ive made it on morning at 8h…
Just I think your model is a bit too fat, and make his face mor agresive, llike your amazing trex…

Yup, Ive made the changes on toshop.

Sorry for the mistakes I use a $*%?@# qwerty keyboard
