I plan to add gills, but don't know if I should use Bump/displacement mapping, or model them with splines? I am also in the process of removing hooks and try to better position the splines for less creases. I need to connect the fins near the tail to the body. Separate objects may cause problems during animation. I need to test it. I need to fix the mouth area too. Here is a close up of the teeth. I plan to add more variation at each tooth to break up the uniformity. Thanks again for all your input. This has been a fun model to work on. My son loves it and wants to see it animated!

Here is another view

Here is a basic shark. Can anyone give me advice about creases and wrinkles. I am going through and checking the splinage, but I just cannot seem to smooth this guy out. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Nice and smooth! Very good! I want to see more!!!!!!!

Thanks for the positive comments! Here is a link for skylights: http://www.shimmyo.com/index.php

Cool! I found myself laughing. Very Cute!

Nice character design! The end of the animation seems to abrupt. Foot slipage too. How about some eye blinks or movement? I think its a great start! :-)

Modeled in a very similar way. I could use more beveled serfaces. Thanks for your input.

A little mechanical exercise that I have been working on.

Nice design!

I lkie it! Can you show some wire frames, and explain how you did the fur. Keep up the good work. I would like to see more!

Wow! Very nice! Its like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" meets "Finding Nemo." Very interesting design!!!

I agree very interesting. Do you have different views available?

Nice! Very styalized! Can we see some wireframe shots? Also, maybe just a 360 deg rotation without the camera zoom. Do you have animation plans for her?

Excellent! Can't wait to see the final render!!!

Cool character. Can you provide some wireframe pictures? I like to see how others spline their models.

Heck of a good model! I like the face splinage. Sure would like to see the final product. Keep up the good work!

I like the modeling! Keep us informed with your progress! Nice model!

I like it. Its a very good attempt! Very inspiring to see you including your family and children! Keep up the good work!

Very interesting effect! Can you show more examples? Joseph www.be3d.org

I like the landing! A couple of crits: I would like to see the camera move a bit to give it a handheld look. Also once the landing gear rests on the ground, the body should settle down and compress the legs a bit to convey weight. But this is just my $0.02 worth Its a great clip! I would love to see more!

Still not done.... just tried a render using fake global illumination.

I really like the armour plates! Nice touch!

Just searched the web and found tons of pictures. Added parts from here and there, added a bit of imagination and poof! Just started to form. :-)

Thanks! It's designed from several pictures of different trains. I plan to add a coal car someday, but right now, I'm in the process of producing my demo reel. I will finish up the cabin, then move on to my next modeling example. Thanks again for all your input! Joseph www.be3d.org
