@Daitengu great concepting and research, one of the most detailed I've seen for creature planets. Look forward to the wip sculpts.

@WoodenPuppet nice start, please post your reference sheets if you are planning to enter the finals thread, as per brief.


Looking good guys! should be a good finals round, if anyone needs extensions now is the time to let me know, so everyone can get an extension if needed. thanks

[WoodenPuppet]

Here is my second step on this challenge. I wonder if you give an extension, how many more days would we get?



Second video and final (for now)

For those that are finished here is the finals thread. http://cghub.com/forum/showthread.php?p=148121

Who needs a 1 week extension? To be fair for everyone, I can only extend the deadline if you are one of those that joined in the challenge early and posted a WIP..

@johnchen Thanks research is probably one of the funnest aspects of creature design for me. Sadly I think a lot of people overlook this step but its great to see everyone showing their research and knowledge in this challenge. Great work everybody!

Progress update on my sculpt of Chirostenotes. Constructed the armature out of zspheres using my ortho in the background as reference. I then began massing in the muscles by using insert mesh brushes mostly spheres and tubes. This is the first time I've tried out this process so it's a little slow going but so far I'm liking the approach. Going To make one big push tomorrow to get this guy finished. I would be great to have a little extra time If that's possible but I'll post what I have regardless.

Ok, so quick 2 questions, first are we to post all our wips, and that stuff in the final thread? Also how does the whole voting process work, this is my first challenge so just wondering?

[jchave49]

Heres a quick render with some poses and what not. I thought it would look nice to have multiple cuz raptors were pack hunters and it fit. Now to the final texture and render! Just a quick BPR render
