Dear Diary, Pie is good.

Pie is really good when Amanda Lange makes it for you with love in every berry.

Modeling is done, textures have begun!

The model is finaly done. It's nice having a day off once in a while to get stuff done.....

I rendered up two vid's. One shows the model with no lighting and just ambient occlusion where the other shows the model in the lighting rig I got from http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=109258&hl . There is also a very basic base texture on the model.

Finalish Models

The tri count after creating joints for the model to be rigged jumped up a little over 2050 and then after as much optimising as I think I could do I couldn't get it back down under 2000. So I decided to change the weapon to a more tri friendly weapon. A two handed broad sword. It's now at 1996 tris and I think I like the look of the sword more than the mace.


MOVIE TIME!!!

Something didn't look right....

Looking at the model, spinning it around, and making childish fart noises, I noticed something didn't look right. I made some more noises and listened to Bitches by ICP and then it hit me. The tail was down too low. I raised it up and it looks much better imo.

Modeling almost done!

Still have to add some planes for mangy fur and such. But for the most part the model is done.

I realise I haven't been posting, at all. I don't want to use the whole "I've been so busy" excuse but I have been very busy. It's hard to budget your time according to what everyone else wants. Despite everything in the world that is working against me to gobble up my time I WILL get this project done and it WILL be amazing.
