Legacy LD5

Textures are more or less done - I'd like to pretend that I was going for a cartoony look here, but it was SUPPOSED to be realistic....

Ah well. He'll still trample nicely once rigged!

Realistic enough to flee in terror from!

Ah, the claws should be bigger, in my opinion.

Man, that is just pawsome.

I saw it move around in a swirl, right here the claws are just a little bit in an unfortunate angle - out of the light-shine they do look larger! Man, I am seriously amazed by your progress, especially after I had to shovel my rex attempt into the furnace of failed creations - that bump map of yours is just spectacularly well done.

"realistic" changes his meaning time to time.. i mean, remeber scooby doo. it was a comix serie then they made a cartoon and at last they made a movie. They could use a real dog there, or just a dog model realistic as jurasic parks dinos.. but they choosed to do make it more carttonish same time realistic.. nobody wants there a sccoby which is a real dog isnt it?..

so dibalo is a beat em up character, then we saw it at arts and animations and now its 3D.. if you think most realistic, as a rex, diablo would be a standart rex (which i use at my animations) just a red one.. but do we want it so? diablo can smile when he stomp on someone, but a normal rex cant...

so with this model and texture i think diablo saved his characters atmosphere..

but i need to admid that, a bigger and larger hollow for feet could be better for crushing.. it looks anatomicly right for a rex (yeah sadly, i coudnt find a rex to use stomp animation for years since my last model) but for stomping for diablo maybe it can be a little bigger.. just an opinion ofcourse.. we need to see him in action

and maybe a bit longer teeth.. rexes got very long teeth at sides.. as you know..

still waiting!!! and did you thing my donation idea_?

Alright, I was silent about your latest works, but now I must roar: I DEMAND TO SEE HIM IN ACTION! Or at least his padded soles. I can't wait to see them blood covered. >-)

Awesomerex!

Sheesh, everyone is awesome lately.

*hides*

Your Maya work is fantastic Diablo!

Friekin hell Diablo!

That looks amazing! I wish I could make my own models! You are very talented!

Keep up the good work!

Well. Damn.

How long does it normally take to do these great renders?

The rendering itself can be anywhere from a couple of seconds to a dozen or so minutes per frame - it depends on the render settings. For something simple like this, just three or four seconds per frame!

And thanks for the comments, folks

so diablo.. when will we see him in a action?

Here's a quick demo of some of the facial expressions I'm working on:

WHAT ARE HIS EYE RIDGES MADE OF...?

Pretty nice range o' facial details so far there chief. ^^ Are you using a rigged up bone system for the face? Or morph targets?
