Tux

Artwork Works in Progress

Some of us guys at #SMC have decided to make a little short, It involves this character somewhere. After some google searches I couldn’t find s Good Tux model so I decided to model one myself.

Somethings I need to work on:

  • The feet need remodeling.
  • Tweak some things.

Enjoy :slight_smile:

Very nice! It looks like a work of Aardman studios (Wallace and Gromit style).

I’m always glad to see Tux wondering around :slight_smile:

His feet are a little diffirent than the ones that you have put on him. Look at the reference
picture and compare

Ubuntuist: Thanks. :slight_smile:
Blenderist: Alrighty I remodelled the feet.

I’ve also remodelled part of the beak. It’s hard to get something perfect when the only reference you have is the front view.

Ok it looks like I still need to move the eyes a bit apart (bigger space between them)

Slight Tweaking, I think I am getting close…

Hello:

Is there this model available?

Having this model would be very useful to participate in this contest:

Happy 2009! :slight_smile:

Please don’t bump old threads… Send Calvin a PM instead. Especially seeing as the images are dead so there’s no point this being on the front page.
