This is my first character that I'm creating from scratch playing connect the dots in Carrara. Obviously the dam thing has been kikking my Buttox!!, but hopefully I shall be done soon. Then I shall attemp to make It my first fully poseable character in P4.

I like seeing what can be done with the vertex modeler since I'm a 'Spline' guy. I haven't taken the time to mess around in the vertex modeler. Looking forward to the updates!

That's going to be cool, Sergio! I haven't tried the vertex modeler yet... but you're showing me I need to. ;^) Daf

The vertex modeler is pretty good it gives me more control when it comes to getting exactly what I want output wise. Although the though part is that it is time consuming, it's like carving a figure out of air!!. But like the saying goes practice makes perfect, they are many ways I probably could of done this in the vertex modeler then conecting the dots. theres only 3 i am comfortable with, and the technique i'm using to flesh out this model are (polyline, add vertex, and extrude) and I tell you what the extrude has been of great help. Anyway I have some time at hand this week, so am keeping my fingers cross that the dragon shall be done by the end of the week or earlier. I am getting married on june 25th (2 Weeks!!), needless to say things tend to get a bit nutty within that time frame. Later folks.

I am very much partial to the vertex modeling over nurbs and spline because the level of the level of control you have with vertex modeling. Although time consuming, it is well worth the time and effort. Good job Serge
