Your models are coming along nicely. Now I want you to try some textures.

[nahkranoth]

me 2!
I like that you see progress, but it's still a very technical process,
throw some more feeling in it.

[Asepl]

Sure :D Just tell me how should i start out. Should i use blender's built in texturing or UV mapping, and where/how should i start to learn making them. Use gimp or photoshop?

[Asepl]

And i made a well... Nothing cool, 257 verticies. Also I am not satisfied with the bottom of it. The shades seem to bug a bit. It was supposed to be a destroyed well, if you wouldn't guess Actually tried to make it more roundlish, but after seeing the effects i decided to make it destroyed

Will you be using the bed model in a game? If so, why did you model the slats underneath the bed, assuming the won't be seen?

[Asepl]

I can always delete them, and i probably won't use it.

[Asepl]

Uhh. Okay. So I am pretty much back (for a while, or maybe longer) to modelling... I had 1 month break, and that's because I was just too lazy. So, now I am thinking of making a 3d scene for school project. I started to create a dragon, but it exceeds my skills greatly (which you can see on the pictures). Just tell me is it worth continuing, because i plan on putting textures after that, and to try animating it a bit. Also, give me advice on which model is better. Smoothed or flat?





And smoothed version.

[nahkranoth]

It depends on what you want
I think smooth is better if you want a realistic dragon

Look at reference material:


Or try something more simple


(reference pictures are not done by me (although i have moddeled a cartoon dragon, -once))

[Asepl]

I want a dragon that is pretty possible to exist. As it is based on a legend, the dragon shouldn't look like some chinese ones. And I am not so experienced to make models like 1st one.

[Asepl]

Alright, this one was intended to be a tryout, but it ended up in using it as original. So here goes the "awesomeness"

[Asepl]

Realized my previous dragon sucked badly. So here, I present you my 4 hours of work ^_^









Althought, I am not sure how to fix the stomach when smoothed.
And the model is 1600 poly. Half of it are the fangs.

[nahkranoth]

this looks a lot better!
Good work, good progress

[kamac]

It's cool  Time to make some houses/texture for the dragon. 

[Asepl]

I made basic textures for the dragon, and few corrections to the guy.
The guy is 435 verticies now.

[dustin]

wow the second dragon is so much better then the first!
