I see quite a lot of requests for fantasy characters,so thought I might give it a go.This hopefully, will just be the first.Before anyone asks,yes it will be free.

Really nice dude.
I know it'll bump the poly count a bit, but could he maybe have some snaggly teeth?

Can I see a wireframe?

I'm very interested as to how he is gonna move. It looks like he's a quadruped, so you can't use the FPSC biped... although maybe he has a jumping movement?

Are you gonna custom rig and animate it? If you wan't any help getting it FPSC ready (scripts due to custom anims), I'd be happy to lend a hand.

@Butters,heres the wireframe,I was thinking of doing some edgelooping around the joint areas,I probably will give him some teeth now that you mention it.I was thinking of just giving him a galloping sort of movement, any help is greatly appreciated,I will try to complete it myself,but will definately be in touch if I need you.

you've inspired me btw, doing some monster modelling on my day of atm!

Thanks for the wire, its a really nice lookin model. You're lucky your not using maya, or the exporter would triangulate that to death!

Anyway, any help scripting or anything I'd be well into. I'm quite enjoying doing custom AI at the mo.

Probably will need some help butters,I want to have him spitting fireballs from a distance,will need to find a way to create a weapon,maybe just a simple tube from his mouth and try to place it correctly or could I simply place a firespot,also have him move forward and when close, rake you with his claws.As you probably know scripting is my weak point I will send you the model once its completly fpsc ready if I need any help with this,many thanks.

I think it could be called a
Pit Crawler or something,
it looks like the kinda thing that lives in the dark and uses other senses than sight to find it's prey.

Rolfy, if you're in the UK, drop me an email, and I'll actually give you a buzz about this stuff. Some of the techniques I used with the tank you could apply to this to make it do some SICK stuff, if you're abroad then drop me an email and we'll discuss some ideas,
whichever way.... be in touch!

great stuff there rolfy. You are good!!
And I like the texture too!! Are you using different maps there, or is it just the render in your software?

Would love to have such creatures in a game

Its actually a directx render rather than scanline,used a normal map instead of bump to get the texturing and form.

Butter fingers,I sent you an e-mail.

Awesome! This looks great. For weapon, I would create a simple square add the FIRESPOT bone to it where you want to muzzleflash to appear. Give it an transparent texture. Assing in to the create, so the weapon holding bone (if there is one, I do think there is) should be just in front of his mouth.

The fireballs could be spheres with a cool firelike texute and use those for flaks.

Thanks benjamin,your advice sounds solid will give it a try.I'll look a little closer at the fpsc biped to get locations.This figure uses max biped set in a quadraped position with a bit of scaling to the spine and arms and legs,works fine,already have walk and gallop anims.

I know for sure the invisible weapon works, tried that before, but the exact position/bone of where it's added to character, I don't know about. I'm pretty sure info is available somewhere.

Looking forward to seeing this create in FPSC.

this looks sort of like something you would see in the upcoming game "spore" oh and i have an idea of what your next fantasy model could be, one of those big alligatior creatures you fight in the gates of oblivion on elder scrolls 4

or you could do something that's original. That way you don't get sued, and you get to give it a name.

Wonderful creature design rolfy,

If I may(OK, I'm going to anyways)
The only thing I can suggest is a little straightening of the rear shin bones. The thighs look like they could be right(saying this could exist), but the shin portions have a tad to much positive curvature(meaning forward bow). This is truly the only thing that catches my eye when looking at this other then what a wonderful design you've come up with.

Good luck

i got a monster idea =0.

ok what if you were to make a evolved version of this like make it, red, with wings, a tail with spike which would be its weapon.

would be more of a dragon style creature wich would mainly be a boss.

The face count is much lower in the low poly model,the detail is down to creating a normal map from the high poly model.
If you look very closely at the low poly model you will that see it isn't quite as detailed as the high,especially around the eyes,nose and the backside the texture gives the appearance of detail.
This is the first time I had tried normal maps and I was very impressed by the result,which is why I showed the high and low poly models here.
The wireframe is of the low poly model,with texture.
I'm waiting for mudbox to be released,you can basically 'paint' form straight onto the suface of a very high res model then create normal maps from this,creases,folds and wrinkles should be breeze.

I'll help the escape from the dreaded, blood thirsty page two with a little point.

I think the back feets' toes look rather out of place compared to the front feet... Just a little point..
The low poly look so similar to the high poly... Looks really good!

Great work!

Okay,I've got him spouting green smoke and spitting green loogies which explode on contact,
I have a problem though,I created a very small transparent cube to use as vweap and created firespot bone for character.This works fine but when I give him a weapon,any weapon,I lose animation on the character,he just freezes,I have looked at which anims are being called in the fpi,but everything seems o.k.
This has probably been answered somewhere before,but I dont see much with a search.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

I'ts o.k. I worked it out, didn't realise there were two animation sets at first. Such as 1=idle, 51=weapon idle.



Thank you very much for the comments guy's.
