Feeling kinda sorta brave about this model I've been working on over the past couple of weeks, in between other projects, so I figured I'd show it off in here for some scrutinisation and criticism. It's my first (of near-finished quality) attempt at high-detail organic modelling and half-decent scene setup, but don't go easy because of that. I'm still deciding whether to go to the trouble of adding ground and a background to the scene (I'm sure I'll do it eventually should I decide to expand on this item), so ignore that deep black curtain for the moment.

Extra points for anyone who can remember the cartoon series

The cyborg lizard war rhinoceros scares me...

OMFG DINORIDERS = TEH WINRA!11111

[Thorn]

OMFG! I used to watch that show when I was a kid....

I used to have two eps on video but I never saw it on TV.

It's called Dino-Riders and the Dipplodocus kicks ass.

Man I loved that series! As well as Mask and Thundercats!

"THUNDERCATS! HO!!!!!!!"

I still can't believe he could outrun Cheetara.

[Dark_4ce]

I remember being totaly freaked out and scared ****less every time Mom-Ra either appeared or transformed. But I couldn't stop watching!

Nice start - I'd suggest some more work on textures, as I always do. Can't say much more, though, since I honestly don't remember the cartoon.

hehe, dinoriders, I even had toys from that show when I was kid

[Kazashi]

Thanks. Textures are my worst feature, this model uses a small repeated skin texture and regular colour manipulation for everything else

For the record, this is what I've been working from. I'm trying to get more of a feel of what they really might've looked like, rather than copying the dinosaurs directly from the cartoon or toys. Wish I knew what happened to all my toys, that Diplodocus rocked....

[Styxx]

Well, you could always use some procedural maps for the Dino's skin - it should pre fairly easy to immitate.

The walking trex was the best toy ever!
