One big problem is the fur. Since I'll be rendering it with toon shading, I'm not sure how I will represent it in a 3D render. Two possibilities are texture or model the fur by hand. I'm open to suggestions if anyone got any. Moe? Teyon? anybody? HELP!! :unsure:

You can try Cinema4D. It's the most used 3D apps for graphic designer I think and you know they're all Macheads.:P

paul, not entering the cartoon challenge?

Very nice, I like the "rotoscoping" :D

D'OH! lol Heya Teyon. I meant as in fragile, too easy to get shot down. BTW, love your centaur model Teyon.

Hey moe, got any close up renders? I'm just wondering how it looks up close. I love the details but that much on a military transport kinda gives me the impression that the vehicle is a bit vulnerable to attack.

Well, at least a single twin gun turret just for defense ;) I got an idea, those 4 rounded things at the side with holes in them, you can rotate them around like those VTOL thing on a Harrier. That way you'll only have to model a couple more thrusters at the bottom. Moe, can you tell me how you keep smooth inorganic surface in poly modelling? Do you model low res mesh and smooth it out or do you model the final shape straight away? I always use NURBS for modelling inorganic stuff. I'll let you know when I'm goin but could be as late as December lol

Wife?!? wow... a lot has indeed happened hehehe... By the time I got to Thailand, there could be Moe Jr. already lol All the best Moe, with the family and the everything else. Ps. I wanna see gun turrets on that model for the next update :P

Lookin sweet Moe, your placement of those lil people reminds me of archviz for some reason. lol Just curious, do I detect ambient occ. in your render? I notice dark areas around mesh intersections. Look forward to the final version. PS. still got same email address? might hit you up with a couple emails just to say hello and ask about Thailand, might go there sometime this year if I got enough money. heh...

Hello Moe, long time no see. I dunno if the model is finished or not, if it is then I have a suggestion. You might wanna add a bit more detail to the middle/back of the vehicle. As it is, my eyes kept wandering to the front of it where all the details are, by adding more details to the back, the design would look more balance. just my 2 cents. :)

ooh... a zbrush master in da house... im shakin with excitement :-D i sure am gonna get my ass handed to me in a platter... but if u guys gonna be in it, it's gonna be worth it just to get some feedback from u all. im really lookin forward to this. hurry teyon!!

can we start it soon? coz im really itching to kick some ass :P

be great to have a challenge. Organic or non-organic doesn't matter. And make it ONE month, if you drag it too long people would lose interest and u'll probably see a lot of unfinished WIPs. just a question, are the mods going to join? i know Teyon is great at organic and Moebius is great at inorganic so it'll be great if either or both join in the challenge, probably more as a benchmark to see where our level's at hehehe :-D

how dare u mock my name grrrrr.....

hehehe... my name does have that effect on people... yeah i already tried CTRL+wheel, that one side scroll the document window and SHIFT+wheel is also up/down scroll only the distance of the scroll is greater than without holding the SHIFT button down. thanks for the answer though :)

working on a new one at the moment... be posting soon :)
