Hello everybody,

I thought that now that model is 70% and main shapes are done and I need only to work on detail and fine detail, I think is better to work on retopology model, that way I could do UV mapping and reproject model before get all that detail. Sometimes when I do retopo and reproject model, I lost fine details, that's main reason I wanto to do it as early stage as possible.

If you aprove model, I will start with retopo tomorrow.

Another thing I was thinking about was to do a hang out with Khaos (everyone who wants to improve design can join too ;-D) to see model in real time, so he/they will be able to guide me with more details of shapes.

Let me know what do you think about.

See you later.

I don't know if you'll catch Khaos online at the same time as you since he's in Australia, but if you upload the basilisk model in a general format like OBJ that would work. Then, we can all look at it together and give you feedback that way.

Here's a shot in case any of you missed the latest state of the basilisk. Amazing work, Cupside!

Hi all,

I modeled a bit more jaws, teeth and head. I tried smooth mask in head but I didn't like and after some ideas my mother said me, ehy, why you dont do like eyelids instead that smooth mask, I tried and I like it.

I also uploaded a decimated version to dropbox, so you can see in realtime model. It has less detail than model I have here because I reduced from 6M polys to 200k, but main shapes are still here.

As I said, if we aprove model I will do retopo before start with more fine details next Monday.

See you later,

The poly count is going to have to be reduced a lot more to be useable in-game, although I expect that the detail will help with the normal mapping. The basilisk isn't huge, and a lot of the detail just isn't going to be seen (except, perhaps, close up).

Still, the detail's good for model shots and for demo purposes.

Cupside, if you make me a nice render of the basilisk posing, I'll use it for tomorrow's weekly article.

Looks good to me

You can keep going with the modeling process, Cupside. The design is approved.

I featured you on our front page, too. Good job!

Wow, nice article!
I apologize to not answer you before, as I said you before I had bussy days.

Now I'm working on retopo.
