O, okay. Thanx.

Anyway, this guy modelled his cloud, and it looks like a real pic. How do I do this?

Also, can any post production go into this?

Raxx:
Looking good davdud101. I think you might want to give the eyes a texture to help make them stand out a bit. As for your clouds, the url you posted doesn't go anywhere but the anim8or.com main page, but usually you use a series of quads with a cloud blob trans map on each so that only the cloud blobs are visible. When you stack up a lot of these together in a jumble, you get your clouds. It's kind of similar to how this tutorial uses the stacks of quads in the first two pages to make a cloud-like render: http://www.3dtotal.com/team/Tutorials_3/jussing_clouds/creating_clouds_3dsmax01.php

As for your uvmapping problems, make sure you read through and follow the tutorials closely. It'll take a little bit to get your head around it. Basically you export the .obj from anim8or, place it in a uvmapping program, work with it, then export it from the uvmapping program as .obj again, and import that newly made .obj back into anim8or. You also export the texture with the lines on it so that you can paint over it. Unfortunately it looks like most of the tutorials in the anim8or.com site are down. Here's a basic tutorial on how to use uvmapper classic: http://www.uvmapper.com/tutorials/tutorial_classic_win.html

$imon, so you're joining the fray eh? Hihosilver looks like he's sweating enough as it is ;) Good start on your dragon, reminds me a lot of your Breath of Fire frog character you made a while back. As for my progress, I've got to go fast or else I'd just go ka-put. Good luck...you'll need it when going against me, hu hu.

davdud101:
Hey Raxx, I made this one cloud that looks...real (or at least good enough)! That tutorial really helped, so thanks for reffering me to it!

I'm nearing my final render, everyone! So close, I can feel it!

Tof:
Wow, nice success for the dragons, a lot of nice modells here and all so differents!
I have an idea too but no free time... i'll try to start the modelling this weekend and post some progress sunday...
Good luck and fun to everybody.

sgwan:
ok here is a quick dragon head I modeled.   (Remembering that sgwan sucks at texturing)  I was going for the whole body, but decided a head would be enough for my first challange post   ::)

enjoy
