Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 5, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted November 5, 2019 I want to make a pteranodon. I gathered some reference to study. The boning of the wing is simpler than I though. it's just a few arm bones and one gi-normous pinky finger. I star by extruding and tapering the upper beak out from a spline ring... I duplicate the top, flip it vertically to make the bottom beak and connect it at the mouth corner... Stitch in a ring at a spline intersection ... Extrude it inward to form the eye socket... 1 Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Posted November 5, 2019 Weird thing extruded from back of head then joined together underneath... Quote
Wildsided Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Looking good so far, Robert. Very nice and light head mesh. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Posted November 15, 2019 It sure is a tiny body for such a large head. Now that i look at this I realize I've got the neck attached to the head wrong. It's good i didn't spend time trying to perfectly attach it yet. Quote
fae_alba Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Yeah, looks like it needs to be higher up with a more pronounced curve to the neck... Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Posted November 19, 2019 Stitch in a loop from which a wing will be extruded... I added a couple CPs near the front edge so i can define the shape of the bone inside the skin better... Now I can extrude that loop out to make the patches for the wing... This theory of the wing flap is thought to be inaccurate today, but I'll do it because it's iconic... extra CPs for knobbier joints... Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Posted November 21, 2019 He's supposed to have three little finger at the wrist. I'm just going to do two. I've hooked in three splines... ... to accommodate stitching in two spline rings. I extrude those out to start making fingers. I wonder what they do with them? 1 Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Hash Fellow Posted December 30, 2019 This is as far as I got on my Pteranodon. Maybe there'll be another Prehistoric! contest? Quote
