I promised a new dragon, but wanted to tackle something new. I know you guys like wings, but we need some variety in the dragon department. I just made hime this weekend. He's still beta. I still need to do alot of work on it. I haven't texture mapped him yet or edited the default joint parameters, but he posed pretty well right out of the library. He's hi-res and very the head is very detailed down to the mouth lining. The wiskers will of course be posable. The body and the head will be two seperate figures. This is because both are so detailed. Also I found out with my first dragon that protruding surfaces from an incorcorated head can end up deforming severely by the joint parameters of the head and neck. As two figures, you can add your own head to the body or use the head seperately for close-ups or and a prop. I will be attaching boddy props like hair, flames, etc that are'nt feasable with the base mesh. Again, the joint params would screw them up. But if you don't like them when they are added you can just remove them or add your own. What do you guys thing, especially you dragon people? Anton Ps: It will eventually go to the online store for something like $15($7.50 body, $7.50 head), textures, poses, props, etc included.

That last sentence is "...you guys think..." not "thing. We need a spell checker. :)

I like it :) Paul

It is a great dragon Anton! Good to see you back at it again :) Can't wait to see it when it is textured :) Liz Birdsong hbg@kreative.net

Some FYI for the dragon people. I have two more dragons in production. Each one will be distictive and different.

I'm not a 'dragon person' but I like him a lot. Scary--very oriental dragon type. Boy, I can't wait to see with textures G. Gosh, you could use him for a New Year's day parade in Chinatown too-- (you know, the ones they carry on poles at the head of the parade with fireworks and all). Diane B

Great. And the pricing sounds quite reasonable too. Go Anton!

Looks good Anton. Are you still using RayDream to make your models? You and I seem to be the only two guys still using it anymore. ;-) ScottA

Your the Dragon Man!! It's how I know you, and this Dragon is just superb!!!! Can't wait to see more!! ;-)

Thanks. Yes I still use Raydream. I'm so use to the mesh form Modeller. But I do eventually want to try Nendo.

My work place companion, Ikyoto, wishes you to know publicly that he is extremely pleased. I will not quote him as I prefer not to use language of that sort, but never the less both he and I are impressed. Yours, Uriel LUX PERPETUA

heya; he's cool! (and dont worry 'bout wings, we got plenty of spares lying around if we need 'em.) if you have trouble posing the jaw, let me know. :) scott! hey! i use ray dream, what am i, chopped liver? :)

Most Chinese dragons don't have wings. Some do, but most don't. So leaving off wings is a GOOD thing! :-)

As a major dragon person and fan of oriental things, I love it, and I'm very impressed! Don't forget that leaf-like flame shape at the end of the tail. Sounds like you may have already thought of it.

Sorry Bloodsong. I wasn't sure if you used it. ScottA

I don't know how you can do such wonderful work in RD. I hate that program. Very good job!

This would look extremely fine with Renapd and steveshanks Manchu Emperor of Qing Dynasty props and models and textures! What could be better than an Emperial Dragon:) Link below:- http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12356&Form.ShowMessage=117417 Excellent stuff:) Tribe.

aw; i was just teasing ya, scott. but yes, i use ray dream and i'm proud of it! :)

Anton, you think you can do stuff like this with Nendo? I have Nendo (at least the original-have there been upgrades?) and I can make pretty basic stuff-or could--haven't used it for awhile, but I had trouble making the tutorial penguin LOL!?!? I didn't think it was possible to do 'interesting stuff' with--maybe I can learn it if I know it is possible. Diane B
