did a test by making a very thin cube and subdived and suburfed it than added armatures to it.
OK I am going make the wings have 2 sides
Main wings now have 2 sides and look good subsurfed
Change that default blue! Otherwise it seems as though you’re making good progress. He does seem a little too flat though - I know that it’s meant to be a “flat” position when you rig it, but for example i hardly see a ridge between the body and wing join. A similar section is the tail, which sticks out like a cone (as compared to smoothly tapering down), is it meant to be like that?
And you said you never created any 3d objects before now? I don’t believe you!
After watching DreamWorks HTTYD I felt like trying learn to make 3d models I found blender and started working on making a Night Fury.

Update on the wings
New Tail & wings looking SO much better XD, that should give you better deformation when rigging :yes:…
(Btw, have you worked on the paws yet? :eyebrowlift:)
yes but they need lots of work still
The new tail fin clearly shows why it’s always good practice for all thin surfaces to have a front and back side.
It’s a major improvement indeed.
update - wings
working on eye socket / eye lid again
The new topology for the tail & wings looks good ;), though I’d add some more loops between the start of the membrane to the “loose” part in the tail, to make the polys more square-like :yes: (also it would allow for better softbody simulation :eyebrowlift: if you plan to use it that is)…
& the eye is looking nice, though a view of the full head would give a better idea of how they work with the rest of model
update on the eye lid
messing with uv mapping
Wow, that’s stupendous for a start! Either you’re a superfast learner or you’ve been eating, sleeping and drinking Blender from the start. It took months for me to start doing something productive in Blender.
Both lol
Amazing just amazing, wish i had such a great start with blender.
Btw, is the song in the video from the soundtrack or is it something completely different?
