[model only] Triceratops

[Junuxx]

I've just finished a model of a triceratops, but I don't know what to do next.
If anybody would like to give it a nice skin and make it into a working unit, please do

I'm not sure how it could be used, I just like triceratopses. Maybe as a replacement for the bear, maybe in some fantasy scenario.
It has 1128 polygons. Is that too much?


Anyway, here's a picture of the model:

nif and dds can be found here

(It's my first serious try at modelling, please be gentle with me )

What program did you use to make this?

 

[J_Period]

it looks good 1148 is good for a big unit (like tank/cannon/triceratops)- I believe the rule of thumb is under 1000 for infantry/small units, 1000-2000 for bigger units/cavelry.

If someone wants to turn it into a real unit, I can definately use it for my
Warhammer mod. If someone was to feel really generous, they might add a howedeth on the back (like this)

@MattJek:
I used 3ds Max 8

@J_Period:
Thank you.
I think it would be pretty though to get such a thing on this monster's back

Lizard: "Sir, would you mind if we hauled this, uhm, cage-like thing on you back?"
Triceratops: *stampedes*
Lizard:

I would love to try and skin it, but I only know how to modify .dds texture maps - is it possible to generate one with 3dsmax so a dude with PS like myself could try his hand at it?

Anyways, a good effort on this model - and I think this takes us one step closer to the inevitable "Rise of the Lizards" mod.

I like it. I bet I could find some place for it in my game.

Can you attach a zip file of the model for us? I'd like to play around with it and see if I can come up a good dino texture.

 

[Junuxx]

I *think* I managed to produce a dds and a nif file correctly :unsure:

Here they are

That is amazing. I'd love to see him lumbering around in mods. Great work.

And yes Woodelf I've to echo you!

Edit: if you want to have the button pm me
