Ravager

thanks! it worked!

i posted, or uploaded models in some topics in this forum, and i wanted to re-download them... yet when i click on the link i get a billion text... what happened? was there an error?

thanks!

my intense textures are slowing my computer down, at least when i am trying to edit in a choreography. i've seen that in some models, the textures aren't visible, yet when you render, there they are! (Ex: Gala model) (and this increases performance A LOT) how am i able to do this? anyone know?

UPDATE: I made a music video on YouTube for the first time, and it features images of my models done in A:M, and fan art. Check it out if you wish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyR7UX_EpAM

cool, is there a tutorial on booleans somewhere here on A:M? i would like to learn it

could it be used for water effects or something like that? i have been waiting and looking for a way to do water effects for a long time now...

I have heard this word over and over in A:M, and I am confused about it, what does it mean? What does it do? Did I spell it right? Stuff like that....

You make lots of sense, but I decided to try it anyways..... and I will now do them in "Final" mode for you and yes, I added fur. any suggestions/comments would be appreciated (took me forever to groom it) oh, btw, how do you make the ends of the hairs pointy instead of edges?

sorry but, that doesn't explain anything to me....

nope, like i said, they are all percentages poses

Show an example. Without poses With a pose (roar) With 2 poses (roar and retractable mouth strike) .... the smaller mouth should be coming out of the mouth, but instead it is moved to the back of the head. how's that? is it good enough for any conclusions? (all of the poses were done at 100%)

i have made several poses so far on my models, yet if i use more than one that uses the same bone(s), it seems to add them together (ex: a mouth opening with a smile) and makes it look terrible, and the face points and the bones are all over the place. is there a way to use more than one pose in a certain area without this happening?

xtaz, could you give me some advice on how i am to fix these situations that you have pointed out (ex, should i replace some hooks with 5 point patches) that would be great ...and mage, i render it in toon render because it is an anime character, therefore i believed that it should be rendered in toon mode, to see if it works out or not in toon mode. and i do plan on using hair

whoops, yeah, my bad

ok, that sounds good, thanks! so far i have stopped here, let me know what needs to be fixed, and i will get on to it in my spare time.

...well, here's another update, half way done, at least with the model's flesh. (hmmm, i wonder why no one has replied yet...) (Wireframe) Toon Mode if there is anything that you guys think should be edited, or even encouragement, please post it!

oh, nvm that anymore.... now here is an update that i long since for got: Ravager Alien is completed Carrier Alien is completed Warrior Alien is completed Queen Alien is completed Drone Alien is completed Runner Alien is completed sorry for the extremely late update, i will try to be more fluent next time enjoy!

thanks for the encouragement guys! here is an update on the model, only in wireframe. oh, and i am only doing half the face... because i know i can duplicate it later please let me know of anything that is needed so far. one more thing.... why haven't you started on this, the_black_mage? do you have a lot of work eating up your lifetime too?

yeah, it sounds crazy, but i guess it's worth a shot. i am trying to create wolfs, specifically wolfs from the anime Wolf's Rain. for now i am going to start with Kiba (the white wolf), so far i made an "outline" of him from these images: ... i am beginning with the nose, then up the face. however, i might need some tips like how to model a wolf's mouth and the eyes. here is what i have so far in wireframe: hope you like it so far, even though it sucks

sorry to annoy you guys yet again, but i have another question... how do you do teardrops on a face and such?

yeah, they work ok by themselves... just not together. they use a lot of textures, but i didn't use much lighting, just the lights that are already placed.

oh, and one more thing.... when i try to render at least 3 or more of my models together it corrupts the rendering, like it goes half way through the render, then it aborts it. could any1 tell me what the problem is here too?

here is an image from the vid, it has reflections, shine, movement, closeup, the normal lights used when you start a chor, and 47080 patches and texture...... is this what you wanted?

i am trying to render a movie with one of my alien models, and it's about 2 minutes.... and the estimated render time is 200 hours O_O is it supposed to do this? if so, then..... well, i don't know what i'll do.
