Been a while updating this thread. I took part in the expotees art show this year at uni so I've had loads of presentation and printing to get done for that.

Anyway, here's the character as it is now. More or less finished with this one, there's a bit of texture tweaking to do but I'll leave those little changes till I get all my other modules up to speed!

Cheers.

Edit: Forgot to mention I added Morphers to head for mouth and ear movement. =]

Very nice. Would suggest tweaking the eyes as a very quick fix, the whites are IMO a bit overly bright at present and the iris could use some more detail.

Thanks dude, will sort that out for sure.

I got a decent idea from someone who saw my work at expotees, which was to add some tribal body paint. So when I do come back to this I'll play about with that.

Quick question to anyone who knows about rigging animals in max; what's the best way to rig an elephants ears? I used a ponytail for the trunk but they're not so good for the ears. I've gone for a quick fix with the morphers for the moment but would like to know how anyone else has/would tackle them.

Cheers.
