thanks bobo

Heres the mud so far

ChaosEidolon

little more progress, getting to grips with normalmaps. I could still use some practise getting the most out of them i think

MoP

very cool so far!

How exactly do you bake the high poly mudbox model into the lower poly dealy as a normal?
I would very love to know.

yoyomon

The highpoly model looks very nice indeed! Makes me want to start learning zbrush. My only concern though is if the legs well bend nicely when animated.

Very Nice sir!!

A saddle?, this shall be an interesting piece to see!!

multivac

damn,this looks so excellent,despite ending up so low-poly.My reluctance to try sculpting and normal maps is crumbling!

Japhir

hey its a great job! well done but i'd reconsider the position of the saddle... it should be more to the front if you ask me (this is how boarriders look in warhammer)
are you going to add a rider on it? that would be great!

ChaosEidolon

thanks guys!

Jimmies: Mudbox actually makes it really simple. Just make your low poly in max and UV map it, then export as .OBJ and open it in MB to start painting. Once you have your highpoly as you like it, go into the Tools menu and open "Texture Bake". Set target at lvl0 and source as your highest lvl. The rest is just doodling around with the settings.
Once you get the map, you apply it to the bump map\normalbump channel in Max. If you want to see it in your viewport, you need to check the DX render box at the bottom of your material's options.

Japhir: hehe you know i think I had those boars in the back of my mind when i was modeling. I'll see what i can do with the saddle.

HonkyPunch

fuck, Don't have max.
Ech.
