looks nice,

cool

Totally awesome work!

Looks very very nice. :3 Rather well done indeed hehe.

Now model an penis and put it in his mouth

its not a furry without one

A+

That icon just gos so good with what you said XD

Awesome :3

looks good

Cool stuff. Any plans in the making for this project?
Besides toying around/animating.

Very awesome work <3
Have you a project to animate your 3d models ?

I just went through a lot of getting used to Blender's rigging and animation system, so I'm going to give this a shot in the near future.

Aww nice to hear this, good luck for your futur projects ;)

Looks not bad, certainly looks higher poly than it actually is. Very clean, well-proportioned face too. Good work. :)

Amazing work with blender :3
*cheers*

absolutely love this!
if i had money and if you were open for commissions i'd totally snag one from ya. these are great!

Very interesting to see how you catched up your drawing style into 3D.

Nice

Those are faces 3506, 4264, and ZOMG face is number 1337

Ah, thanks. I'll take a closer look next time

amazing!

I wish I could do 3D art like that.
But I barely have time to just do a doodle

Good job!

I like it but somehow the legs just don't rest naturally with him, to me it sorta looks like he has has his knees bent a little too much and his body is too far forward for the center of gravity he would have :O

Of course, it's a T-Pose for rigging! Definitely not a natural pose.

Ok just making sure, and I'm not all too familiar with 3d modeling terms and processes :P

Is this sort of how the SecondLife ones are gonna end up looking like?

This one could be a second life model as is, it's actually less polygons than my last model!

Wireframe? Plz? *cute puppy eyes*

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/546166/3d/w.....-wolf-wire.jpg

Ask and ye shall receive. :3
Thanks a lot! *hugs*

Damn nice edge loops there!
I see what you did with the muzzle - the one thing I can never end up making look good. I think I'll try that next and see what gives. :)

Did you start with a box, cylinder, 2D shape, etc...?
I hope you don't mind all the questions... x_x

His was voxel sculpted in 3d coat, and I did retopology as a last step before the GI bake and paint. Sort of reverse compared to box modeling, and I fin it much more natural and creative to start this way. I can box model fairly well, but I don't feel as free to experiment with form and surface.

Much easier to scuplt then go back and re-topo to suit what you need :D

MUCH easier lol.

Nicely done though. Turned out rather well.

Afterthought !

You run a manual or auto-topo for the final product ?

Manual, I wasn't happy with auto topo, and I've learned the manual topo and am very fast with it.

Ok. Was about to be a holy sh*t moment if the auto-topo came up with that as a result :D

Getting auto-topo to produce that would be like.. waaaay not possible unless you drew in a lot of guides. and at that point you might as well do it by hand. you can pretty easily do a super basic topology to establish loops, then loop cut it to desired detail. As you retopo, the mesh always sticks to the surface, so you can fuck with topology and push verts around, and they attach to the surface perfectly.

That's pretty much how Topogun works, but that is ALL it does. No sculpting, painting capability. Auto-Topo is great for static posed meshes, not so great for anything you may want to animate.

I looked harder at Coat and the only thing I dislike about it is the periodic web server check in. I can understand it from a piracy concern, but my thoughts are what happens to the legitimate software out there if the company folds. Hate to be stuck with non-functional software because the authenticating web server was pulled offline.

I'll have to throw em an email and ask more about that to see what the behavior is of the software in the event it can't reach their web server. The system I use to play with all my 3D apps is isolated from the network so I don't have to run any firewalls, anti-virus and all the other memory intensive processor killing apps :) Does wonders for stability.

I think their "checkups" are to determine if there are multiple copies running on a single internal network, and then report back anomalies. I don't think there's a lockout that prevents you from using the app if it can't "contact the mothership", but it wouldn't hurt to ask the company itself for more details.

Also, I use Mac OS, so I'm not too concerned with virus scan stuff. Not trying to be snooty, but I forget that people still have to deal with that.

Heh. Far from snooty :) It's smart. If I'm roaming the net, I'm doing so in Linux. If all the mainstream apps worked in Linux, I would have no reason to boot up Windows of any flavor ever again :)

holy crap that's amazing

so like is this going to be a new sl mesh av?

Maaaaybe...

id buy it instantly if you did xD!

I love the whole idea of mesh avs o3o

i've been gone for almost a year now are you telling me they finally FINALLY!!!!! support mesh import!

It's been in beta for almost a year at this point. Not sure when it's hitting the main grid.

A very nice model!! :)
*greetings from another Blender user*

This is amazing. :D

So smooth!

Wow! Very nice work!!

Nice! Expect to see more of him >:3

Is this for like your movie or something I've heard about? Sorry if I'm wrong XD I'm not sure if this is all true a lot. FA furs tend to gossip.

Nah, I'm just dicking around with models.

HAHA!! that's always fun to do XD You're good at it too, what's your next idea?

I want to rig this, animate, and than look into making an otter model.

very nice xD

So you got the gryphon and canine.
What anthropomorphic are you planing on creating next?

I hope it is a sleek fox O_O
OR
A female version of the canine. ^_^

Probably an otter thing!

Omg if you do an otter, please make it an SL avatar at some point! I would love to buy it! I haven't seen one good otter av in all my searches...

The way I do otters unfortunately doesn't translate to SL that well, things get wonky with animations once you alter the bone structure too much.

Actually I was told you can mess around with bone placement in the model and it'll reflect on the actual avatar, so you could resize/reposition the bones in the avatar to suit an otter avatar. The animations would try their best to animate naturally, but aside from a few proper looking walks I can't say for sure it'll translate to everything 100%. Give it a try anyways. >)

I've experimented with this... What ends up happening is that the avatar's floor position is jacked up if you import bone positions, even if those positions are in the default position. Now the avatar is floating like 3 feet off the ground. The animations are fine, but any kind of interacting animations don't line up at all. I don't think it's worth it personally, unless a person is ok with the model not working correctly for 50%+ of situations.

wow very nice :-D

i love that icon =D egoraptor is awesome ^^

Yeah, I love his stuff!

Ok, for normal I do not like 3D modells, but this is amazingly good =)

what is 3D coat?

It's a voxel sculpting app, which is a different way of sculpting compared to something like ZBrush. You build organic (or even non-organic) sculptures out of thin air, then apply retopology after you're done with the mesh to define the polygons that describe it.

magnifico! tu sei bravissimo! io ti invidio,mi piacerebbe molto sapere usare il 3d!

Check out 3D Coat, it's really changed the way I model and texture.

very cool <333
could be even cooler if you can make a avatar on second life with that one ^^

Actually, this is to be used as just that, as well as my own personal animation experiments. But the SL meshes aren't live on the main grid.

That's not a bad model. I would need more shots of it or shots of the wire mesh to get a better critique on it but other than the corners of the mouth where he needs to add more subdivisions to allow it to deform properly (assuming he is going to animate it) and just above the knee where the leg muscle connects which looks a little low poly and might not deform properly it looks really well done. Those are the only two places that look less than organic and that says a lot for a model.

Under 8K faces is a good polycount as well for all the detail you put into it.

You might want to consider finding someone to take it into zbrush and getting some detail work done to the tail using normal/bump mapping but all in all, awesome job man. Zbrush does furry stuff well.

I should mention that this is intended to be unlit with baked diffuse, like how Kingdom Hearts 2 is rendered in game. I like the look of a moving soft shaded "cartoon", and so i'm attempting to use that as a reference. This was more detailed in sculpted form, but I toned down the surface detail and did a smooth GI bake, then airbrushed it further to make it extra smooth and "toony". I think adding more surface detail would counteract the goal I have for this model. :3

hey man, mind if I take a shot at animating him?
I spent so much goddamn money on a 3d animation university course
might as well use it to animate dog dicks :D

What app do you animate in? I'm going to guess Maya, that's what they're teaching people these days, correct? >D

I mainly learned softimage XSI
but it's easy to adapt to any of the other ones
it's just a matter of learning the shortcuts :P

I plan to rig this up in Blender and do some animation tests, but you're welcome to use the model and take a crack at it. Do you want to wait until I have "bits" for him?

heheh sure, working on my 2d portfolio right now anyway and can't have any more distractions :P

Two points awarded for Softimage user :D

*super awesome space high five* yayeah!

thats low poly O.o? it's pretty smooth for low counts. then again i don't actually know anything about 3D stuff.

Awesome :3

thats just amazing!!!! cant wait to see it rigged and then animated XD

Looks really pro!

Woah !
Very nice modeling !

Will you animate this character ?

Most definitely!

Yay !
That's will be great !!

he looks so cartoony..

Mission accomplished!

Wow he is really cute. Only a good sheath is the only thing needed.

try to get yourself ready if Seconld Life will be able to import meshes. This guy is really sweet and i wish i could see him in action if he moves his ass around if he is dancing.

Really good work. The Face is absolutely Perfect. Got to get more Experience with modelling though. but at the moment i have other work.

This guy is 90% to the way there for being SL ready, but I'm in no rush. Meshes haven't even hit the main grid yet.

This isn't November's Bribe...

I can see future animations! =D

Now all we need is a dozen more characters like this, the means to animate them fluidly and for you to abandon any hope of seeing sunlight again, and my dream of a feature-length furry movie might finally come true!

...

I'll go keep dreaming.

That looks fantastic! Can't wait to see it animated!

*__* Very nice work!!

Nice work!
Incomplete without his male doggy bits, but I see from your comment to hammy above that you're planning on adding some.

The SL model is derived from this, so I don't want to have bits as part of the model. I can, however, make some bits that are easily attached to mesh and rig. The unlit nature of the model helps it to blend in with such addons.

Oh wow, what do you intend to use this for? I'd love to see something like this in Second Life, you'd make a fortune :D

This is partly for SL, partly to just play with in animating.

I'm quite surprised. Never thought that you modeled, and so well. about how long did it take you to work on this? I would kill to rig and animate a model like this.

I tinkered with this for a few months at least, but really ground out the retopo and texture work over the past few days. I'm just now very used to the tools used to created it, being 3D Coat and Blender. (mostly 3D Coat) Did you say you rig and animate models or somesuch?

yes sir i do. I'm a 3d animator and i also do rigging. Problem is i run out of Maya so it may not really help you too much with you working in blender and 3D Coast. Last Rig i did for a fellow fur was the one i did of Brenda for Fossil.

I'll be building my own rig in Blender, but I appreciate the offer. I was more asking if you were wanting to rig and animate it yourself. Once it gets rigged, it's pretty well tied to the app you're animating in.

yeah i know what you mean. lol, I'm not sure now. cause as much as i would like to, at the same time I'm like "it wouldn't be fair to him cause he wouldn't be able to play with it. Hey, I'll note you if i can do it, we'll talk then. Better then eating up room on your submission page. Again, great work.

This makes me really excited to continue learning 3D Animation, although my school uses Maya 2011 :P

Maya is kinda industry standard ya know (VFX, Anim., some game studios...).

Yeah except when they use something completely different.

Either way, 3D principles are (mostly) universal. Just different hotkeys and workspace setup, and all of that can be customized anyway. Not that big a deal. And honestly it is either 3DS or Maya, rarely Blender unless they are feeling open source and edgy. There are a couple others in the list of used programs, of course Zbrush. I can't remember if companies still go for lightwave these days... But either way if you can make a damn good model in any program (maybe not CAD) then you could likely get hired because a company will pay to train you for their program.. Odds are in favor for Maya, and great for students since you get it for free for 3 years.

In some ways, Blender kicks the pants off of Maya, but it'll never fit into a mainstream pipeline because of how saturated the industry is with Maya experts, and scripts. But granted, I will always be able to do better in blender than Maya, because it's what I'm used to. Wether a piece of software is better or not doesn't affect how useful it is to me. Industry standard doesn't mean dick to me like it would for a potential job-seeking professional, so I can be choosy.

Thats why they got Maya, abit late though, last year we had Carrera (bleh) and the teacher knows nothing about it so I have to self-learn for now.

Trust me, that's kinda universal unless you go to some top o' the line school or a smash-your-brain-with-4-year-education-in-only-2-years-school. Either way, most people that I see doing good work nab the tutorials and go solo. Gotta love the Gnomon...

Once I get graduate this year going to go to ACC while I get some money set up for Gnomon :P going to do the 3 year one though. While I'm doing ACC I might even get their Maya quickstart.

oh jeez yeah, I went to one here in vancouver where they smash it all into 1 year
that was 2 years ago and I still look like I haven't slept in years

Just want to point out. Anyone interested in 3D can skip the school and just learn from Gnomon. It's way cheaper and their training is actually better than most top schools. You can definitely learn everything you need to know from Gnomon :3

Im using Maya too, but i already know how to animate with Blender

I'm impressed, it looks like a really accurate 3D sculpt of your drawing style. Don't see 2D to 3D go well that often, at least at classes, heh. Now I'm curious to see if that 3D coat thing plays nice with Maya...

Oh, and out of curiosity, could you show off your edgeflow?

Pasted from above http://dl.dropbox.com/u/546166/3d/w.....-wolf-wire.jpg

Thank you! And f***ing poles, how do they work? I kid, i kid...
I was wondering how you handled the facial topology, since that is the biggest deviation from human models (not many tutorials out there on muzzle topo, as far as I have seen). Awesome edgeflow you got there!

Thanks again!

I just follow what I know will deform, like rings around the eyes and mouth, etc, then beat my head against the wall with terminating loops until it looks right. I hate dealing with finding places to terminate them, probably the thing I have the least practical experience with.

Have you seen this article? Makes my brain hurt.
http://www.subdivisionmodeling.com/.....read.php?t=907
Although honestly it's one of the most comprehensive thing I've seen on poles and edgeflow.
I'm thinking your pole position seems to be the best fit for how the edgeflow needs to work around the muzzle, since that loop is more important than establishing the bridge of the nose.

Very handy, I'll take a better look some time. Always learning.

Just epic 3d model, great job! =^w^=

very nice, thats the best 3D model of a furry i'v seen, and i'v seen alot of furry 3D models

Zaush,

i love him! He looks really nice so far can't wait to see the final (hopefully) animated one.

Hey great looking model, it looks just like your 2D style and it shows a lot of detail even without normal a normal map. For the modeling process I still prefer ZBrush but 3D coat has much better retopology tools.

If I were making very surface detail type models, I'd definitely consider doing a pass through zb, but so far the look I love is the kingdom hearts "3d cartoon" shaded character. It has it's plusses and minuses, but so far I'm digging it.

That`s nice plus it goes well with your style. 3D Coat is very similart to ZB, it even haves something like the zspheres as well so it`s mostly matter of getting used to it. But at least in my case I find ZB`s brushes system more comfortable.

That's a beautiful model.

Once i've gone through more classes in modeling and texturing, i seriously hope to give this kind of modeling a go. 3D coat sure looks rather user friendly.

Your art style transferred over really well into the 3D model ^_^

If this is low-poly, what'll be "high" then?!???!!?!

Whoaw.

Doing a great job, you could make a decent little side business selling models over SL for sure, but then that's a matter of preference and time you have to work on them. f I had that talent I'd only make them but not as custom orders, that'd just take a lot of my time up.

Great work either way, hope to see some rodents after the otter thing mentioned above. =3

So far so good

this is awesome good work

Well done!

3D Coat? How does it compare to ZBrush?

I always felt like a clown trying to make balloon animals when I used zbrush, and I never took with the workflow.

Grab Scott Spencer's books and you'll be a Zbrush pro in no time :D

interesting work man! i obviously can tell its a low poly model! but i am taken by how simply your mesh is when i saw the wireframe image. excellent work. however i see around the waste one loop that might cause problems. theres a loop at the top of the waste i'm not sure if you can see it in the mesh but its dangerously to close to the loop above it. if this were smoothed it will create a crease in the model that the uv ma won't be able to hide if shading is lit up on there. otherwise man wow excellent work!!

I'm a bit of a 3D person myself but i can never do organics for the life of me but man do i love accessory/prop/object work.

One nice thing about shadeless is that it hides issues like this very well, without the geometry lighting it, you don't see little creases and imperfections. :3

lol lucky well *cracks whip* get a going back to work!

awesome I like how your muzzles looks like

Kick ass job. :)

nose is a little wide and derpish, but otherwise this is so amazingly accurate of your drawing style! : 3

Derpderp

sexeh :3

SUKI: Oh mur 83

Pretty cool very toony 3-D-Style.

wow looks awesome dude hope we see more soon :)

Wow, awesome work you got there

first time ive seen someone model 3D characters like that and actually be able to stay consistent with their drawing style (and a MILLION times better than those average "wolf" models floating around)

I used to have a 3D wolf character... but the file got lost and now all I have is the head :p
maybe someday when ive got time i'll resurrect him XD

I'm amazed at how far 3D modeling programs have progressed in the last few years for the average consumer/student, so that you don't have to have a half million dollar animation studio.

This is the best 3d model of an anthro canine I've seen outside of 'professional' animation houses.. incredible work! Keep it up!

Wow, I wish I could model/texture as well as you can. Looks amazing!

You. are. god. *thuds* That is like.. the BEST 3D modeled anthropomorphic character I've ever seen. I thought others were good, but this hands down, is the best, with all the detail there, AND it being low poly? >> *jots down a note and stuffs it in Zaush's ear*

Oh wow that is impressive. One thing though is I think the tail should be longer.

Can be resized! Part of why I broke is continuity with the body mesh.

This mesh is off the chain LOL!! Radical man

God damn! This matches your art style to a tee!
Best furry model I've ever seen, congratulations! ^_^

Very nice model I must say! ^^ I wish I had more experience in 3D modelling, I've tried practicing with Blender but I don't get very far ^^;

This looks absolutely fantastic. I really like the ear shapes and legs. Very nice!

WoW!!! O.O This is Awsome, very well done. :D

now that is very cool.

wow , how much working hours did that take? , looks amazing as last one you did

This one got a lot of love in the sculpting process, I don't even wantto think about the time investment! Retopo and paint was surprisingly fast, though.

you alweys think about time invested or around , altho i not did any real model i proudly spent 40 hours modeling my spore creature , i know lots of while its simple editor but still say i did amazing job especially i did it with demo editor and did very creative job:)

made short you-tube movie about him , very simple tho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE6KL-JnNC8

whoa... damn.... this is awesome! I love 3D art

Would be awesome in NewVegas o:

It is perfect! Look very cartoon.
Will you use hair and fur plug in some day? Would be interesting to see
I´m trying 3d myself, you motivates me

You should invest time in a decent rig :3 I developed mine alongside of character-development and modeling:
http://vimeo.com/7791244 a little showcase of handy features for animation :3

Another good example of when my icon suits my feelings for what I am viewing.

Which version did you bought? I'm dying to get my hands on it but more then 300 dollars for the prof version... oh boy....

I have the enthusiast/student edition. The only real difference is the 7 paint layer limit, and the fact you can't use it for commercial production. Though I'd gladly upgrade to the pro version if my models actually brought in some cash, hell I've already got a 3DConnexion SpaceExplorer just for this model work, and that's 300$ all by itself.

Hold the phone . . . .


Are you telling me SpaceExplorer / Mouse works with 3D Coat ? For it does not with Zbrush. . . . mine sits in the closet until I'm playing in Rhino. If it works with 3D coat, then another tick just landed in the positive column for that app.

Not only that, it works right out of the box without installing some janky plugin, with the current spaceexplorer drivers. and it works damn well.

and here my dumb a$$ bought Topogun :|

Guess I'll be learning a new application shortly. $350 isn't that bad ( about the cost of the SpaceExplorer anyway :D )

Well then, time to keep some cash for this. Its a great program by the looks of the videos on the 3d coat's homepage. It'll be a great tool for game designing and modeling.

Wow, it's great.

Holy Hell comment TL;DR. Your style seems to translate pretty seamlessly into the 3rd. Nice work. If you've got a project lined up for this sort of stuff, we should talk.

See now I hope you're at least planning on opening an avy shop... You could make some real srs money outta SL if you did. and you wouldn't need to go the commission route at all...

Gah! Triangles! D:

Wow, never thought of you as a modeler, really nice work.

Gotta watch out for the triangles, they'll sometimes cause problems when you animate D:

Normally I'd be ultra anal about the triangles, but this is a special case. The model is intended to be unlit, and on top of that, without any subdivisions.

Well there you go, and hopefully they're in places with limited visibility (like armpits and such).

Still looks gorgeous either way :D

Actually any of the tris are tucked away where nothing really animates, like thefoot pad, on the ear tip, etc. There's really only a handful tris total.

Sounds fine then :3

Also, I recommend bending his arms at the elbows slightly, it'll make rigging a whooooooooole lot easier. If you keep them straight like that, the program might calculate the joint to bend the opposite way. If you bend the joint a little in the base model, it'll calculate the joint to bend the proper way 100% of the time and save you from doing a lot of extra work.

This was posed out to exactly match the second life base skeleton, so I can adjust things just before doing an animation rig.

Perfect!~

Wow this would look amazing as an animation

show us the edges.

Pretty good!! :)

how's the ear topology done? tried making a dog head earlier and it gave me such a problem.

The ears are their own independent islands, which was done for SL usage. Though it works well for this model in normal use, due to the unlit nature.

Damn fine work, especially in the face and eyes.

This is lookin' really solid. Nice to see it keeping in with your style. Hope you do more with this.

wow!! wich program if may I ask?

The picture itself has the logos of the programs I used, and my submission description details out exactly which ones I used for each step...

Woops... I knew I was skipping something hahaha sorry... MMORPG reale lure you

Thats pretty neat. I think sometimes about how much actual work is put into things, its crazy!

Okay this pretty much makes the argument. If I get the money together before the Unlimited Clay plug-in is ready, I'm getting 3D-Coat. Sorry Z-brush.

Once I tried voxel sculpting, I never looked back to ZBrush. Try the 3D Coat demo, does everything apart from export OBJs or renders!

I fell completely in love with Procedural poly subdivisions, as in Sculptris. The Guy who wrote that is working for Pixologic (Z-brush), now.

The guy who is working on Unlimited Clay, for Blender 3D, is working for 3D-Coat. From what I've seem Unlimited Clay is superior to Sculptris but as I said before, it isn't done yet.

Thanks but I really don't need to be convinced any more. I want 3D-Coat.

3D coat is divided into specific tasks, and it excels at those tasks. To shoehorn that onto blender is entirely reasonable, but you lose that focus.

There ar3e some features left to work out and reliability issues but her is a recent web article on it. Also includes video showing what Unlimited Clay is able to do... so far.

http://www.blendernation.com/index.php?s=farsthary

That said, This will make 3D-Coat even more potent. The Procedure subdivision looks more fractal based allowing it to go on into infinity.


Finally, I'm cheap. I would rather not pay for it if I don't have to. It'll be free for Blender. However, I am also MUCH happier with tools made for doing the job I want or need to do. So I'm still angling for 3D-Coat.

Oops. Wrong one. That's for a new Fluid sim Farsthary's working on.

This is the one for Unlimited Clay.

http://www.blendernation.com/2011/0.....enderNation%29

I kind of like sculptris's method of sculpting, but the real killer features of 3D coat are its pipeline to a finished product. The retopo tools are phenomenal, the painting tools blow away Blender's by a long shot, and the normal baking is so easy it should be illegal. That said, I hope unlimited clay does come out, so I can have it available to me for when it would be useful.

Very very nice!

Computer animation art hmmmm...nice

Looks great.

WOW!!!

Looking at this does two things to me, make me depressed that it looks that good, two: makes me want to throw my current work out of the window and start over. But excellent work, also yay! to another Blender user, we are growing in number each day :)) Have you tried out the fur system in blender yet, gave it a shot recently and its a pretty nice layering system. Also ignore the first two things, I love competition :P.

hes not the only blender user hehe

I don't really like 3d hair or fur, it's too much attention to a surface treatment, and unless you get it absolutely perfect, the model dips into the uncanny valley.

Here I was, thinking maybe someday I could try something like model my own avatar but it looks like I'll at least have to learn a lot of technical aspects before I jump into it. How did you start to learn the program and process?

You just have to be thirsty for knowledge and be self motivated to learn it. 3D is learning many technical things, then putting them all together. That said, I recommend you install and experiment with the demo of 3D coat, almost all of the model was made in that app.

OMG i want to animate that model so badly!

You mean rig, and animate, or just animate?

both

Might I see some of your other animations?

quite a masterwork you got there :) wish i could be as effecient with my polycount

Nice work dude, we should collab! Lol

damn, i hope you going to make mesh avatars when second life updates the mesh import :3 hope you make a hyena avatar! :D

I don't wanna say his tail should be bigger , but yea should be bigger.. other then that it's really neat

looks amazing!

Very cool =)

Amazingly well detailed and smooth for the polycount. Gorgeous stuff dude.

Wow you did a good job, I'm still working on Blender myself with my 3D model, but I never use 3D Coat. Is it easy to use or hard and how much dose it coast?

1) Easy to use, 2) Educational/hobbyist = 99$, Pro = $350, and the trial lets you use every aspect except exporting for free obviously.

Thanks for the info.:)

beautiful work (as always)

you have a wonderful eye for form... this is a gorgeous 3d model

awesome

I changed icons, that's what happened! I change icons now and again.

Its quite interesting to see your style of muzzle transfer into 3d.

IF LL ever gets Mesh out and running (I told all the people who were going on about how it would be so awesome that it wouldn't come out on time :/), hopefully it will look just as nice in-world!

Damn, that's really impressive, what surprises me the most is how the character still has your drawing style after being modelized, I only tried modelizing some of my characters a few times for school 3D animation projects (so we had to use 3DsMax), and the model just never ended up looking like the original ref sheet. >< So I guess you spent quite an amount of time on this for it to look so smooth, great job. ^^

Very clean

nice model zuash.
surprised that blender was this fast for you to learn

Shit, I've been using blender in some fashion since 2005!

oh well then...keep practicing at it!

Any chance on an anthro dragon coming out?

I just find myself surprised that I read and understood more than half of what you said in the info o.o;

Dang now I am going to have to get 3d coat.. I wish I would have opt'd to get it when it wasn't so pricey (not that its expensive by 3d standards).

Get the 99$ one!

I was wondering if that would be enough... Though right now I can't see needing the larger maps.. I just looked and you can upgrade. Great idea!! Thanks

This model is one 2k map!

I did actually get the 99 one. learning it has been another issues LOL

woooOOooow...looks amazing o:

really nice work there Zaush, keep it up ^.=.^

e this smile <3~~

love this*

Whoa!! Amazing job, he looks pro!

That's a gorgeous render! Well done.

Mmmmm the things I'd like to do with him and Poser...

I like your comments that describe how you make this stuff. It is rather interesting.

So when are you going to start printing your 3d stuff? :P
Have you heard of shapeways? (carefully read the TOS before submitting anything there)

It's just a shame so many 3d processes will end out with the nasty stepping effect. Costly 5axis cnc mills, 3d liquid printers, or the super-fine powder printers seem the only way to avoid that. :(

I'm going to give a company that does 3d printing a trial run. Not for anything mass produced, but to see what is possible.

Talent Talent Talent. Taking up 3-D animating. That'd be kewl to see from you.

JEEZUS CHRIST ON A BED OF RICE, you've just confirmed it, there's nothing you can't do, A-Dubbs.

*steals and paints his fursona's markings on the model* Ha! Epic win!

No, seriously, this model is freaking awesome, kick-ass, and titanic amounts of epic win.

The icon looked like a real (non-digital) model.
But still good :3

oh wow, very lovely job! So smooth looking!

Good job! Really smooth for <8k polys and no smooth approximation.

What are you using to rig? (I'd love to rig this guy)

Blender 2.5!

that's Awesome dude. hey. i need help with the head modeling in Blender and i have the book Blender for Dummies which only works for version 2.49b. did you model the head with the mouth open and use the Box Method?

Most of this is modeled in 3D Coat, blender was only used for adjustments and tying it all together.

Thats pretty awesome work, i have NO CLUE what half of those terminologies even relate to but the overal product is looking aesome :3

Very impressive. If only I had the skill to do anything like this. x3

It makes me want to go and pay you money for it

im not sure how i had the time to read all of the comments but my impression is that 3dcoat is worth trying, my only experience is making some sculpty avatars using maya. i once became motivated to learn blender for mesh but i didn't do too well

3D Coat's strengths lie in sculpting, retopo, and paint. Pair that with Blender and Modo, and you can do basically anything.

I have to say it's really nice seeing some more 3D art like this. It looks great. I'm still waiting on a few more parts for my computer before ZBrush can sink its teeth into my new processor, but this plus your Ark sculpt just gave me a little kick in the pants to get me started on more serious things again.

Keep it up.

wow, thats a really great model! have you studied modeling or something?

Thats ridiculously good. I prefer Maya to blender because thats what im being schooled in but I knw people that can do insane stuff and this is pretty much on top. I have used more polys and made worse models, and then texturing.... ugh. This is just smooth, amazing, and just wow.

You fail to dissapoint furs. Great work!!

he fails at no failing ? XD PARADOX MUCH ? XD

But but....*sniffles*

http://www.sculptris.com/ ..... thats all i have to say

no fuckin way :o
i just shat bricks when i saw that:D

crap, you're good, real good. i've been trying to use Maya for a long time now but i've been having a huuuge pain in the ass trying to get polygons stacked on one another. i don't even think i'm using the polygon tool! Well regardless, good job.

Have you tried importing this on the beta mesh grid?

Just did last night, works great.

Did you take any screenshots? Id LOVE to see how well this works and show it to all the nonbelievers about how great mesh is :D

Oh, and if you need a scripter for your avatars im your man :D

Holy shit, that is totally epic! Must faved it.

Ive begun learning blender this summer since I can't afford lightwave, which I learned in. I hope I can do this sort of thing with time.
