Big B. here is not turning out to be as "wild" and pissed off as the original in Final Fantasy X, but I sort of enjoyed that he didn't, so anyways, mesh is around 95%done, uvmaping around 70% (missing wings, tho will be one of the easiest (2 much plane...)... textures: just started (chest has pretty much the front & top... still missing... rest) I pissed myself off tryng to figure out Max's IKs/controlers some more stuff related to animating (actually it's easy to set an IK, but making it do what I want... is a mess), anywyas, i'll leave that to the very end now...

I'llbe the happiest person on Earth if this ever reaches the in-game =D

EDIT: ps.: no that's not a yellow heart, just a slaped brush to resemble some golden scales he's got starting there...

is it just me or he actually feels somehow... younger?... (don't ask me, just a thought... (again, I kind like it...)) Edit: =3

yonger?, btw great model :) (rate 10/10)

it's down to the "brow line" and his jaw, that make him look almost playful, rather than fierce. try angling his eyebrows down a bit more, and making his jaw look like less of a smile and more of a roar.

once again, sorry i'm not working on mine yet, my monitor (actually it's a 37" 1080p tv that i use as a monitor for modeling) is away for repair probably until the end of the week. once it's back though i'll be hauling ass ;)

p.s. SPEC MAPS OKAY?!

eh... wish I had done more, guess the whole texturing should be done by now, anyways, i'd say textures are still around 60~70% since pretty much the only one fully finished is the head, everything else lacks certain details

did a little improvised change with the head's textures, as you said, pulled the eyes down a bit and tryed to give more enfasys to the skin in-betwen the cranium and the jaw (thought it wasn't enough visible) (thing is... I really like how it came out the first time :D so, didn't save the changes, but still might consider pushing it towards the fiercer look a bit)

eh... ew... I guess I better give a lot of focus on spec maps when all the textures are ready... :lol:
(won't push it much either, although it's quite a few fancy scales, it's still part of his body, so, won't push the bright all the way to metal... (try to keep it like scales and... wet sea turtle shell (instead of metal))

Manganiac, your work is simply beautiful. I can't think of any crits offhand that you haven't already come up with...so please, keep up the good work, as you are basically doing what no one thought possible in this game. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished textures, the in game shots and new animations (and if you built a new skeleton, which in and of itself is a feat for this game).

That looks great... just keep going the way your going.

yay it looks cool ^::^ Ill be wantin this when its done!

on facepunchforums is a cool behemoth model but i think its ported but this 1 looks really alike 2

Of Facepunch forums, there are many ported models, so it wouldn't be a surprise if what you saw was ported as well... That place is full of fools anyway, from my experience, so I stay away from there unless there is something in particular that I get interested in because of a certain friend...

sorry for reposting, Imageshack went bitch on me and bugged this image, since it's been quite a wille ( ;P ) that I posted the last message, I can't edit/update the link to the image:
