This thread is about the race i am currently developing an which will be called “Third wave” or just 3w. Even if it is not textures i call it “finished” because my work was the modeling and somebody else will care about texturing.
Like you can easily see on this site, i am working on several projects for this race and most of them are already in the final state. The currently largest of all of them was the “Alien queen”. Second was the 3w race itself. Third will be the ground unit, a mech. Aside from that i am working on technical descriptions for this race and any unit they are using. You will found more about this on the above mentioned link.
I started with a complete skeleton for this model, then added a muscle and sinew system and finally i mounted an additional exo-skeleton and created a skin for it.
All joints “could” be moved with the muscles i added in all needed axis like human arms/legs. for example one of the upper shoulders got 24 muscles.
I guess there aren’t many fantasy creatures out there with a complete interior ^^
With completely applying subdivision surfaces to all obejcts, this model got about 1.500.000 polygones.
So what do you think about it?
Thanx for your comments
(If somebody wants a specific “close up” feel free to ask for it :))
Do you have it rigged to fold up into re-entry mode, and to “walk” etc? If so, you gotta run an anim - even with just the white ao mode of your current renders would be cool!
this race is created just for fun. i cannot breed then… my odd body won’t allow it, even without the highest concentration.
thus i have to give them shape and life in another way.
and thanx for all your appreciation
PS:
i am still searching for someone who is interested in developing the abilites and backgroundstory for this race. (but i doubt i’ll find this person here )
