@@Noodle thanks for the reference i was kinda just freeballing it tbh. @@AshuraDX i dunno lol i was just kinda winging it. i was just keying bones on the simplest rig i could build. i didnt want to get too insane with it, figured whoever wants it looking better could slap it in dragon or something and animate it. I get held up on the details and would just like to get a beta out. youre right though its why i keep posting it lol i felt like it was a bit fucky and subconsciuosly wanted someone to tell me what was wrong. If I stop whining and rebuild the rig it wouldnt be hard to fix. but im whining about it and wanting to move on. We'll see if i end up getting my panties out of a twist and just rebuild the rig like the good lord intended maybe i take a break for a day or so and revisit it and just hand animate it better in reference to ze reference. I shall break now

retexturing https://youtu.be/T8c8U0Tc6nY

Got something I feel is a little more fluid. Ill move on to his other navigation anims. Also got a bump map going for moar later possibly. Ill repaint him now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBhDsXkBBIA

Still trying to figure out a natural feeling walk cycle https://youtu.be/ReAGffkeWfA

@@Noodle I guess? I don't really know or thought it matters that much. Ill go for tauntauns then

I'll just keep playing with random anims until i get a decent set. Probably replace the swoop with him? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MfZyrRsgAE

Starting a walk cycle https://youtu.be/aKSSksW14R0 Disregard his teeth theyre painted on for now... I've decided to go ahead and repaint him myself which will be happening after anims

Yeah its a walker head... some random armor pieces... but what creature is wearing it?

Ill do either the Lizard monkey or that desert walker next. I can possibly use the same skeleton and anims from this happabore. Good idea. Is it an armored creature?

@@Noodle Thanks man. On this model I created the body in Zbrush and also created the base coat in Zbrush. I usually do everything in Softimage and paint in substance but this way was quicker for me. I UV unwrapped rigged and am animating in Softimage though. I'd love to start recording speed modeling sessions soon. I've always been rather speedy with modeling though. Even back in my less experienced days, which was a bad thing lol Yeah this rig looks like its going to work out great. Look how cuddly and happy he is to have bones =) Bottom of his feet are just a mess, the teeth, mouth, and eyes are all just a single color for now...but he'll have a texture overhaul before release. I'd say he's game ready but has no anims yet. Now I can relax a bit and create a buncha cool anims for him

@ I was completely wrong about the simple rig, it was a disaster =D So I rebuilt one a bit more in depth, and I'll try that now.

any texture artist that wants to give this guy a nice skin just let me know... ill be animating. he could really use a good skin, i have a decent base coat going right now but its just sloppy and i dont want to get held up on something like that right now current uvmap mesh info skeleton info let me know if im missing anything

The walk cycle is kind of proving to be a bastard... but its just my lack of experience with quadrapeds... ill youtube some good ones and return to it in a few

rigs built heriarchys done i built a basic biped rig with controls for the jaw and snout https://imgur.com/a/YoFSSee just a final sculpt/paint and the animations i wonder if i still need a stupidtriangle

nice and sloppy for now. ill model his teeth in softimage and make higher details this is just basically the base coat https://imgur.com/a/eNKOnk4 i think ill take a break from zbrush and jump into softimage... build him an animation rig and some teeth. i dont remember him walking in the movie... so what animals should i reference for his movement? im thinking legs of a crocodile and body of an elephant? EDIT: scratch that... this has enough movement for me to reference a walk cycle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRbEWd-EEtI what other anims should he have?

Heres a quick low poly... not bad for an hour or so. Ill put him in zbrush next and sculpt him out https://imgur.com/a/d4fglA6

@@ZanderNao I work on proxy from time to time. He just needs to be textured. I was considering releasing him with a checkerboard texture for the texturing 24 hour contest, but ill probably just substance painter him if it takes much longer. These ideas are great and should keep me busy for a few days. I'll post pics here soon Thank you all!

omg @@Noodle great ideas there! i HAVE to do the Kowakian monkey-lizard because my dog looks just like one

@@Lancelot well i dont mind animating as long as it isnt too crazy... i just started a nexu, sucks theres already one. might start a happabore then. thanks for the info though!

I cant seem to find any non humanoid requests... Has Krayt dragons been done? Are there any happabores? how about a Nexu? veractyls? I'll take on some non-humanoid canonical Star Wars model requests here. Post reference pics of whatever youre talking about hidden in spoiler tags to clean the thread up. Ill keep adjusting this post to show what models have been requested and what ones I've taken on. Requested Kowakian Monkey Lizard Gundark lothwolves and lothcats Mortis creatures Happabore Terentanak Luggabeast Jabba the Hutt Kell Dragon Vorskr Accepted Happabore Jabba the Hutt Kowakian Monkey Lizard T3-M4 Progress Modeled Textured Animated Released Happabore X X Jabba the Hutt X X Kowakian Monkey Lizard T3-M4 X X X

Might just leave him like this and finish it in Substance. https://imgur.com/a/hR5wtPh

It has mastered invisibility. Its movements are so slow... Its become imperceivable.

Its worse.... Its the undead
