Heya !

Here is a creature I made a long time ago for a personal project I never finished :o
It's kind of a WIP thread, I will try to post some rigging and animation test I did later.
Thanks !

I like design, details. Maybe front lighting could be little stronger, but anyway, great character for sure, Richard. :thumbsup:

[Porkpie Samurai]

This is amazing Richard! I do remebere this masterpiece that I've seen long time ago. It's still one of my favorite creature :)

[Tomaya]

[madmatt]

Very complx design, I'm curious to see the final rig...

Bye

[oglu]

really great design...
id like to see this creature in motion...!

[Richardr]

Thanks a lot guys !!!
So sorry, I know I said I will post an animation but actually I can't open the scene anymore. I did it using a very very very old version of Maya, and now when I try to load it, it's crashing ........ :banghead:

[sebcravoisier]

i think it 's the cloth object, reset it in a old maya if you can.

[drummermenco]

cool man awesome design!

[clay]

What a shame about the animation! I remember seeing this a long time ago, and some of your other work, while I was working with your brother. Amazing, it is still incredible to this day :)

[Manuel Poehlau]

Looks great! I would love to see some pictures of the progress, wireframes, untextured model etc. .. please :)

edit: Oh, just saw your posting, that the maya file is damaged, damn. But you still have a zbrush or mudbox model?

I'll reply for Richard as he is not able to do it now, there was no Zbrush file for this guy, he did all in Maya + hand painted displacement maps in deep paint3d.
As far as I remember he had a bad surprise at some point when realizing deeppaint was saving the maps as jpegs and loosing quality each time the textures were overwritten :)

Great work Ric!! :notWorthy:

[ianucci]

I love this creature, great design. The fact it was produced without digital sculpting techniques makes it all the more impressive.

Posting for Richard, a Maya creature rig test he has done a while ago. As far as I remember a lot of the movements were using dynamics but I'll let Richard explain further more:)
Looks great Richard!

Wow Richard, this creature render along a couple more variations that you had uploaded back then have been kept among my very favourite references for so long..
And now the creature animated in all its gore glory! Thank you so much Pascal for this upload!

[tiktok]

[madmatt]

I like the second movements of the head, but there's something strange in the feet IMHO...but I'm not an animator...

Great job keep to post...

Bye

[jukkat]

Looks fantastic !
Liked the animation to.

[Richardr]

Thanks Pascal for the post :beerchug:
I'm a terrible animator, and it was suppose to move like a puppet. So I tried to do everything using dynamic ( except for the legs). But there is still a lot of issues, specially the IK on the arms ... And a lots of broken constraints ... the skin is not simulated...etc ...
Anyway, thanks guys for your comments ! :bouncy:

[sebcravoisier]

lol! what a great animation realy fantastic!
I love the movment of the neck and the finger the littel details i'm so sorry for you that you can not use the dynamic on the cloth object!
Any way, that's incredible work you 'v done! and you are masterising richard!

[Addictive/LP]

Wow!! Awesome model and the animation is pretty cool too !! I'd love to see it rendered, with close up too..
Excellent ! clap

[weiluntsai]
