Devourer

[C.Roland]

Anim and Rig : Refar
Model and Texture : C.Roland

Based on high resolution mesh that I've sculpted in Zbrush based ont the Digital Tutors' Zbrush training DVD excercise. The texture is baked from the normal map generated from Zbrush. The base DIFF map have been painted directly in Zbrush. Refar animated it, big thanks to him again !

Cool, looks super

 

[GeoModder]

Holy...

 

[JustATourist]

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

 

[Dual]

That's a high quality horror unit there!

 

[Cethegus]

Looks super.

 

[Zerver]

WOW! the most original unit ever

 

[Fierabras]

I stumbled upon a unit in Spore that looks very similar:

Is this just coincidence or is this creature based on an existing one?

 

[Refar]

Funny, looks very similar indeed. It's coincidence i think - i for my part have not the slightest idea what spore is supposed to be....

If you are interested, you can watch the 'civilization' part of Spore in this video:

Soren Johnson is featured giving some explanation.

[primordial stew]

I'm going to use this in "EFZI3: Now in 3D".

Here's what i have, but this unit is.. just a shadow. What do they need to be?

I dont remember the numbers but the model needs a much larger scale than usual - maybe at 0.44 it's to tiny to see.

 

[Flintlock1415]

I used a scale of 30.0 which worked fine, but the shadow from the unit goes over the entire screen

 

[Refar]

You can scale down the shadow independant from the unit using <fShadowScale>1.0</fShadowScale> tag.

Sorry about the here - i did not check the scale in the beginning, and when i noticed how small it was, it was half way animated already - then it was too late.... Scaling a ik skeleton would mess up the anim...

great gordon's gin!

Yeah, it's the new pitbeast !

 

[Trieste]
