CREATURE WORKSHOP MODELLING I released!

Delaney King

WWWWRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!!

My first DVD is now out and available at SIGGRAPH featuring how to model this little critter! It takes you from novice through to intermediate by introducing all of edit poly buttons whilst your mashing together "The Deathwuurm".

CHECK OUT THE PREVIEW





(please note: Cover shown is the Siggraph early release edition which contains all the yumminess inside, but with an incorrect jacket sleeve. The disc should infact be called "basic creature polymodelling in 3dsmax" as planned later discs will cover intermediate and advanced creatures. The "graphics designer" needs a slap. Never mind, this will hopefully be sorted in the next printing, so don't worry if your disk looks different- its the same crunchy evil Deathwuurm goodness inside!!!

Great stuff dave. watched the little previews and i'm sure contains lot of little tips for artsits of any level. Hope it sells well!

that's good stuff dave, i checked out a few of the sample videos and it looks pretty tight. Always glad to see people making an effort to teach others.

Maybe it's me and the way I model or maybe the version I use ( Max 6 ) but I get a lot of wacky errors all the time like I might extrude 3 edges and 2 will be have flipped faces and 1 with no faces at all . I dunno glade to see some decent training material but Max is really getting on my nerves especially with making High Poly models .

congrats dave. This looks very nice! Any idea on release dates of future volumes?

Pogonip: I dunno pogonip, Epic swear by max for high poly work. Use edge /shift + move instead of extrude edges tool... its really designed to put wrinkles in a surface, not for pulling out surfaces from an open edge.

Skrubbles: Im going to pull and id software here and say "when its done" (Ive always wanted to say that!)

I am currently adding a loooooot more stuff to the second disc to cover every UV technique I can think of, including perhaps some plugins too.

Motives: Thanks, I guess by the time they are along the codecs will be obsolete, but yeah... I know wot you mean.

Long live the King!
Awesome work, although I'll say I'm not crazy about the design/subject matter you chose, the execution is as great as we've all come to expect from you.
I may just pick this one up!

Delaney King

cheers all.
