More block-in today, think I'm happy with the proportions now. Tomorrow I'll drop it into UE4 and start replacing the stand-in models. :) What do you think?
Worked up a concept. At this point I am actually thinking about doing this skin without the alien. the colours will be replaced using anodized paint styles :blush:
Liking ArtStation so far. It's rough around the edges but certainty has potential to be a viable CGHub replacement. Here is my page: http://www.artstation.com/artist/paulpepera
They took Mental Ray out of Maya in newer versions of Maya 2016. In 2017 they replaced it with Arnold. If you search for it there is a separate installer for Mental Ray Maya 2016.
Updated the scene with some banners. I'm currently working on the map rug on the floor, but I'm starting to think I should replace the map with a fire pit though.
I'd get rid of most of the current tail, replacing it with hair or a more typical shape. Note how long the tail hairs are, and how short the underlying bones.
