Godfrey Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Here's a model I've been working on for the past week, nearly finished. It's a member of the "Great Race", from The Shadow Out of Time by HP Lovecraft (my wife has ceremoniously named it "Lemon Head"). Click here for a short animation test (1.45 MB MPEG-1 with sound). The walk cycle (slither cycle?) needs a little work, and the head neads a little more detail, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. During the process of rigging this model, I have arrived at the conclusion that tentacles are a pain in the ass, but dynamic constraints kick ass.

modernhorse Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Cool ! Very interesting character. Are those drumsticks clicking together for the claws sound? Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 Are those drumsticks clicking together for the claws sound? Yes. Well, MIDI-triggered drumstick samples, at any rate. Eventually I'm going to have to find something that sounds more like chitin and record it (as well as squidging my hand around in something like tapioca pudding for a sound effect to accompany the walk cycle).

sonofpat Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Your model is great but your textures gives it toylike tingamajig with detatachable parts.Maybe that is the look you are after.If not I suggest try blending the textures where they meet.

Pat, Thanks for your comment. The textures actually do blend, but I kept the blended area relatively small (it's been a while since I've eaten lobster, but I seem to recall that the edges of the exoskeleton were fairly abrupt at the joints).
