I think i like the first model better... these wings just look wrong... 

[Sheepy]

If you ask me the only problem with your models is the overwhelming "tacked on" feel everything has, you can blatently see where one shape joins the next, there needs to be smother transition through out, and more detail. Dont get me wrong i think your good, its just something to improve upon.

Well a lot of the tack on feel is because theres a lot of intersecting still going on, nothings been booleaned yet.  Plus those colors are a dead give-away to where one begins and one ends.  Don't forget the hulls are shell-like in nature, in such there is a rigid plating, in fact if I was doing this for rendering purposes only the plates should overlap.  As for the spines, without getting super-detailed, take a look at a spiney sea urchin or a cactus.  There is no real smoothing between the spines and body, their designed to break off if needed.

And I assume your talking about these aquatic creatures and not my other models?

Wow Scooby, that's really neat. (needs eyes though for the creep out effect!)
The glows can be refined later, just a tad too blockly looking on the mapping to me.

Welcome to the "Monster's Club!"

Big icky giant space monsters to swallow your ships whole...


Can I borrow it sometime? DemoDragon needs company for a rampage.

I was trying to mimic this: http://www.wcnews.com/wallpapers/full/cyb-wpp-exodus.jpg

I'm guessing it needs pixel shading to do that effect.

Hopefully this gets rid of the intersections (barring the one between the body and the appendages)
Still playing around with bump mapping.

no shine maps for the moment

[Harbinger of DOOM]

Well played around with spec mapping and finally got glow mapping included, changed some of the colors around.

Things getting eerier and eerier...

spec map.


i'm rendering a short light rotating movie overnight, it should hopefully show off the spec better than still images.

WOW!!!!
are you going to release it for use ingame?

[Mefustae]

Stop. Bumping.

If you have a rather mundane question like that, use a PM. Just click on the user's name, and look at the bottom of the following screen for 'send personal message'. Sheesh.

[Scooby_Doo]

Oh. i was going to release it, it kinda got left in the background.  I'm just about done with the kilrathi fighter I was working on, I'll get done with the Nep ship.

[Harbinger of DOOM]

No prob.
We all know you have a life too....
