UPCOMING "Protosuchus Model"

EXTRA! EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!
WEREWULF ITS GETTIN A GRIP ON MILKSHAPE!!!
lol, well he's what I'v made and been doin in good old milky. Its a protosuchus, a carnivourus dinosaur and the largest in its time. I made the model from scratch but I do not take full credit for the skin since I saw a dinosaur picture and made the UV fit it. I'v added the bones, now I'v gotta animate and giv him teeth(THEN EXPORT). HOPE U LIKE IT!!!!!!

Hmm..thanx. Sicne yu say, it kinda does. I know why now, the Uv didnt go over the nose properly, I should fix that.

Its not really a dino

Its more of a "Giant prehistoric reptile"

For teeth, just add an alphaed plane
#7
as mecheon said, alphaed plane.
looks pretty good.

are you going to skin it or keep the cnp? i would skin it seeing as you have talent.

i think you might want to add some sort of spikes or some kind of weapon or armor for it to fit into wc3. or have any use in it.

Quite nice indeed! My only complaint would probably be that the front legs look slightly off proportion, and the tail looks pretty big too, I'm not sure if he could support it :) Otherwise, quite nice, and a good first model.
#9
Thnx, guys. Oh and with the teeth, thats what I was gonna do. On and I screwed up the animation and threw them in the bin becuase they when balistic when I got up to the decay corpse bit. Hey anyway, how do u make a corspe animation thing with a model? Do u keep it hiden or undetground then lift or something?
#10
It's called a GeosetAnim, check my notes. However, with decay animations, you may need to do a bit of tinkering in the MDL, as they should be 60 seconds long...

First of all, this is not a dinosaur (like Mecheon said). And you got the name wrong too.

It's name is Postosuchus (meaning of the name: Post crocodile), a type of Archosaur, that's a major group of reptiles, this group includes the dinosaurs, crocodiles and pterosaurs, but Postosuchus was not a dinosaur. The postosuchus was about 6 meters long and weighed just under a tonne, was a carnivore and it lived in Arizona during the late Triassic period

Those pictures you showed are form the BBC series called "Walking with Dinosaurs".

And now for the model,
it looks good but need some changes here and there, the head needs a bit different shape and you also need to change the UV-mapping

And here is a better pic you can use for the skin.

Although I strongly recommend you make a skin insted of CnPing a screenie from Walking with Dinosaurs.

1 more comment! Watch carefully: The dino Thingy has no teeth!!! Is it supposed 2 be like that??? Lol.
#15

So right now I"m workin on my draggy. I might clean the draggys skin as well, looks abit dirty.
