  1. A Whitespine would certainly be a bit of a challenge, so why not? I'll have to get some info from Inkthinker first though, to get the details right. It may take a little longer to finish the Whitespine, as I'll start at university this fall, so my free time will be rather limited.
  2. Since Swimmingly asked for it, I did some photos with WOR for size comparison. Took me a little longer than I thought, since I had to finish reading it first
  3. Of course Yeah, having only a single drawing as reference made the modeling part a bit of a challenge THAT would be awesome!! It'd be really helpful, especially when it comes to details and such. ...and I guess the community here (me included) would love that Of course I could share it, but the main problem would be the fine details. The minimum wall thickness in the model is .3mm, which means the printer would need to have an extremely high resolution. That is why I ordered it at Shapeways myself. I wonder, if it would be ok to make the model available on their page without adding a fee on my part. That would mean you'd only have to pay for the print (which still is quite a bit)?
  4. No problem. Feel free to do so Oh ok. Sounds complicated and liable to breaking. Actually, that wouldn't be a problem. I don't have a 3d-printer myself, so I ordered it on shapeways, but copyright really could be an issue here. Another matter is the price. I paid about 190€ for this model, which is not exactly cheap for a model this size. I'd love to, but since I live in austria, it's kind of a long way @ Iredomi : Thank you.
  5. Soo... I finally got the model printed. It took some time to clean up the model and make sure the thinner parts wouldn't break, but here it is =)
  6. Thanks, I totally forgot to adapt the elbow joints of the front legs. The separation between the limbs really looked too extreme. It should look better now. The points, where the legs and the body join are more difficult, though. If I make the transition between the two parts smoother, the joints need more than a single body segment each, which would look awkward, I'd say. @ Satsuoni : I'll do that, but it could take a while, for I have to redo the skin weighting for the parts of the skeleton that deform the most. So maybe in a few weeks. @ Natans : I guess I'd have to ask Brandon/Inkthinker for that.
  7. @ Inkthinker: The antennae really were too thin, but I liked them standing up, which made it look curious in a way. The model isn't too big (about 15x10x7cm), so I made them just thick enough to reach the minimum wall thickness ( .3mm). They are still quite fragile, but I hope that they'll hold. @ Gloom: The segments on the back really do look like scales, which wouldn't make you think of a typical crustacean, but I wanted to stick to the sketches 'cause they look so cool. ​
  8. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
  9. @Botanica: Thx @Inkthinker: I'm pretty far down the road, so it would be too late for any major changes. I am still doing some final tweaks before I 3D-print it, though, so any critics are appreciated. Yeah, I put some extra effort into the way the mandibles move when the mouth opens and closes and to make sure they would look right when it's closed.
  10. Autodesk Maya for modeling and rendering, UVLayout to and Photoshop for texturing
  11. Thanks! @ Gamma Fiend: Me too, absolutely! As for further models, who knows what the future will bring? @ bartbug: Thanks for the tip, it's definitely worth a shot @ Natans: I'm currently working to make the model 3d-printable. All updates on this will be posted here of course For all who are interested: here's a link to a 360°-view of the model https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3mjpwo9yj5a2bq/turntable.mov Have fun =)
  12. Hey, when I reread WoK two months or so ago, I thought it would be fun to do a 3d-model of one of the creatures of Shallan's sketchbook. I ended up doing the Axehound, which was my favorite. When I did some research in the internet I found @DomainWalker 's Thread about exactly the same topic it was kinda funny There I found some design tips from @Inkthinker which were really useful. Thanks for that! I really like how the project turned out and would be interested to know what you folks think of it.
  13. After some time of lurking around on the site to get some info on this or that, I finally signed up to show you a piece of work I've been doing lately. It's a 3d-model of an axehound, which I'll post in the stormlight archive section shortly.
