now textured (243 k png)
also the lighting is gone, faces are now vertex colored.
(a bit faster, more significant when there are a bunch of them)
earlier (171k png image)
172 triangles
rigged with 11 bones
I expect to see up to 12 (or more if the computer can handle it, tho mine struggles with 102 to get 17fps…) on the screen at once
(and I may end up doing an even lower poly version for that)
what do you think?
Yes, I know the legs have problems and the head doesn’t look right, how may I go about fixing this? Know of any good refrences? (don’t see sheep much in southern california)
(the real challenge will come soon when I attempt to make a dog to chase a bunch of these around)
oh, this is my first true wip and probably my most serious attempt at a model to date. The model is probably a couple hours work, started in wings3d, imported in blender 2.25 and worked on in both 2.25 (game engine and from window uvmapping) and 2.31 [draw faces for mesh editing and rigging for nearest bone opton]
I don’t think its the head that needs to shrink. I live in an area with many sheep, and most of them have really short necks. The head looks proportionally correct to the body, but the neck is a little too long.
(sheep have more than one bone in their neck and probably move their shoulders some to reach the ground. They can twist quite a bit too, my model and rig don’t bend that much too well, but from a distance it becomes very difficult to tell)
But I’ve been wondering, how do you make it so that the textures show up in the view port? unstead of just the rendered view?
