Title: SyntaxError's Creature models!
Post by: SyntaxError73 on February 20, 2015, 04:43:22
Note: I only do animals, because they are my favorite..

I have two to show right now.

One is named after me, using my username on another forum.

It's the Starasaurus! and she wants to say HI!

This dinosaur won me a contest!

Here is my monitor lizard! he also comes with animations!

And, If you haven't noticed, The monitor lizard's eyes can move around! He can turn his eyes toward you without moving his head!

The magic of rigging!

I will post more, but it sure is hard work to make a single creature in Blender. Texturing, adding bones, and animating take more time for me than creating a model.


Yep! here's another! This species has a story!

The Plumeback may look like a peaceful herbivore, but that's what they want you to think. This creature mimics herbivorous creatures from the way it runs, to its posture, Until its prey has been spotted. The "stiff" spine flexes to a predatory position; looking flatter and longer, and it runs faster, much like the way a wolf runs. It stomps its prey with its split hooves, then goes in for the kill.

Then it goes back to looking like a dinosaur with a bird face, and it begins to run like a rabbit/horse hybrid once more.

Mind the part where it says where the Plumeback lives. That is the location in my game where the animal spawns.

This is really nice, first animated 3D models I've seen on this board.
I have a question, are you unable to unwrap and texture on blender?

That's what I did to texture these guys.. I love UV unwrapping! My way makes the unwrapped version look like a skinned version of the animal.. (think of bear carpets.)

These look amazing, the animations look true to the animals and I have no doubts that a lot of hard work and effort went into this. VERY nicely done and keep it up!
