I think maybe they are too fleshy?

Justin1 · February 16, 2006, 8:43am

They look kinda lumpy, try smoothening them out.

Pork · February 18, 2006, 11:39am

I’d vote for the first one, where its eyes are coming out of the box-lid.

Woodman5k · February 18, 2006, 3:27pm

I liked the first one better as well. Just make the box lid openings a little better.

humerous. play with the box, i needs to be about someting special.

Pork · February 19, 2006, 12:06pm

i re-did the holes in the box and i tryed out some texturing, i quite like the way it looks but im nt sure wehter it will suite the style of a hermit crab living in a box so i was hoping for some feed back on that.

, i needs to be about someting special.

im nt quite sure what you mean cekuhnen… please expand on that if you can.

but anyway, here a pic of a texture experiment on the box, and crab with it.

Your texture is mirrored. Love the concept though

Rinne · February 19, 2006, 12:50pm

Although i’m against smoking I love this one, the idea is great and he is so sweet

Great work, just keep it going

Pork · February 20, 2006, 8:39am

could some one please tell me how to sort this out? im nt sure why but on the flip side of the cigerete box the texture is…well…backwards, i tihnk someone pointed this out before with the old texture but i didnt really pick up on it.
thanks.

(and p.s, does anyone prefer the old texture or the new one???)

oh, being a smoker(and knowing what the different types of cigs are) i would go for Lucky strikes :]

Luckys have been around for so long and are known internationally. if you can find a good lucky’s texture(higher resolution) it would be awesome !

Pork · February 21, 2006, 4:07pm

ok, i redid the lucky strike texture and sorted out the mirrored back (you were right nehpets lucky’s rule). ive also been playing with the mesh a bit, im still not really entirly happy with it. i was hoping for some feed back on the textures, the ones on the crab itself are only tests but i wanted to see what you guys thought of them anyway. so here they are, the first render is blender internal and the second is yafray (cus i wanted to play around with that and see how it looked to , which do you prefer?)
thanks again all.
