Algamas Highcrest Turntable Video

What's up,

Some of you might remember my model from the Blizzard Contest; I finally got around to rendering a video of him over the holiday break and thought I'd post it up.

It's nothing big, just if anyone's interested to see him in moving video.

It's an mov file so you'll need quicktime or something like realAlternative to view the movie. I had to compress the quality a bit to make it a decent size for online, which was a drag, but oh well

Any comments appreciated

Thanks

Love it!
Stunning work and beautifully presented.
Shame about the compression making the glows really artifacted.

Wow! It looks great! The whole thing is really well done, and the presentation is especially nice. I'd love to be able to play a character like him.

I'm rooting for you. Here's hoping you win that trip to hang out with the developers.

Dude, Absolutely beautiful! It's cool to be able to see it with the spec. Totally saving this vid to my harddrive for inspiration and/or just flat out coolness.

Sweet, really love this character. Will you be doing a low poly version? Shouldn't be too hard to bake the textures to it I'd think.

Damn, thats 6 kinds of awesome!

Thanks everyone for your replies!

Right now its a high-res model, I've thought about resurfacing and making a game character out of him, but at the same time I have so many different creatures/characters I want to make, and I've grown pretty tired of this guy. It was hard to find the dedication just to get him to this stage - so I think for now at least I will be putting a fork in it

Hey if any of you guys are members on CGTalk and feeling charitable, I posted my work to the Finished Gallery & any replies there would be a big help

Awesome, he really feels big and heavy. The little touches like making the lamps glow and the fins slightly see through are really nice. Great work:)
