Description
After successfully using Blender to create a reference model for my latest picture with Kronosaurus, I've been playing around with it to see if I can exploit such skills to help me get a more 3-dimensional feeling in my illustrations, especially when it comes to lighting.I did this (not-so) quick model of a Spinosaurus standing ankle-deep in milk water and got pretty happy with it. So from now on I'll probably create simple 3-d models before painting complex pictures, which is fun.

Can you perhaps fill with your scrapbook the digital drafts? I'd love to read them

I've just made a folder in my gallery to put some 3d models

Maybe add some webbing between the feet and hands? After all, they are semiaquatic, after all.

hm, interesting proposition.

Awesome model and enviable skills - This is one of the hardest dinosaurs out there to "un-see" as a monster.
If I may critique slightly, the rear area may have had slightly more muscles&fat at the base of the tail...

Critique accepted! I had a bit of trouble figuring out how thick the base of the tail should be. The angle doesn't favour it much, but I'll beef it up a bit more.

Great job...I'm loving the gular pouch!
I think it just would need thicker legs and tail and slightly larger claws, for all we know at least the thumb was probably twice that size.

Thank you! I'll make those corrections

I hate you! Now you can even do THAT?!?
Amazing bro, envy is devourinf me inside

haha Thanks made! You should try it too! It's surprisingly easy to get the basics for 3-d modeling, provided you have the patience. Someone as artistically talented as you could surely make the leap to 3D media!

Maybe I'll try, who knows...
Still sure as hell I'll never be so good as you are

Cool idea. The spinosaur model is lovely in its own right. Very serene, although that might just be the milk

haha Thanks. It is surely the milk

This is a really good idea, maybe I should actually make an effort to get over the learning curve for a modeling program.

welcome to the club
I used to do this as reference before painting, but time is tyrant XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed! Although useful it takes quite a lot of time to make the whole model, pose it, render it an THEN start painting

Nice job. I like the dewlap/pelican pouch, you don't see those (Without excessive spikes or wobbly things) on spinosaurs very often.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I don't particularly like the spikey, Todd Marshall-ish style. But it's always fun playing around with soft tissue, and since spinosaurs were gulping down huge fish back then, they might as well have had big dewlaps.

And it's a nice opportunity to get some brighter colors in there. Sexual display and all.

Grrr...I envy you and your digital talent....

haha Don't feel envy, feel inspiration!

YOU CAN DO 3D MODELS NOW? That's like giving Hitler a doomsday machine, shit's about to go down. Amazing model! This will definitely improve your artwork--which IMO was already quite fantastic.

NICELY done and a good idea - is it quicker than making a maquette?
π: 0 β©: 1
Probably; I guess you can achieve a very precise shape and therefore precise shadows (which is mostly what I want) easier and quicker than by building a real model.
π: 0 β©: 0
No, I can't even animate
π: 0 β©: 1
Then why don't you use Sculptris
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know, I got used to Blender... I like how it seems more precise. I did download Sculptris though, gonna give it a try.

Ah, I see! Well, good luck!

Oh I wish I could create models for ZT2 
π: 0 β©: 1
You could definitely pass it off to other designers who would gladly code skin etc ! We could use models like yours
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, let me learn a bit more about modeling in general and I'll think about that. I always wanted to make (or remake) models for ZT2 anyway
π: 0 β©: 2
Oh me and a few friends of mine model animals for zt2 and a few other games. If you want I could help you out
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah and you've clearly got the talent for it too
π: 0 β©: 1
This subforum on the ZT2 forum Gaia might be interesting for you, karkajou : [link]
Basically it's a place to drop half-done stuff, so you might drop your models there, just say hi first

ItΒ΄s probably just the missing details like scales and teeth, but this kinda looks like a monstrous spoonbill.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I was too lazy to even bother modeling the teeth. It does look like a spoonbill though

This is awesome and the milk part was hilarious!
