Hi, this is a wip of the Ultrasaurus model I’m currently working on. We want to use this model and one of a Gigantosaurus for an animation to obtain a commercial project for the animation studio my trainee post is located at the moment.
Bumpmaps :
Oh, eyes/mouth are missing btw.
-edit-
Very cool bumpmaps!!! Also very nice detailing of the texture of the Ultrasaurus. I wonder how many polys is the Ultrasaurus? Keep the good work!!!
Javi.
hey dude, how many poly is that?
did u use projection master to do the bumps?
Hi, thanx for the replies. Around 2 million polies I think, but that;s not nearly enough to capture all the details, so I switched to the projection master to paint, with the bumpmaterial in zbrush, the fine details. Still the max. bump resolution is too little think, 4k x 4k…hope zbrush 2.5 brings a max. of 8k x 8k or sth.
Hmm…wonder where my gigantosaurus went…uploaded it for a second time :
Started work yesterday, around 5 hours of work so far…ultrasaurus has a good 50/60 hours in it.
Hey,
what do u mean u switched to projection master to paint with bump material? doesn’t your projection get distorted at 2M polies? I think there is something I am missing here. it looks fine from the shots.
Your Ultrasaurus’ head popped out of the top of my monitor! You owe me a new monitor now!!!
Nice job… :lol:
Hehe, yeah, it’s a big fellah…estimates are around 15 mtrs tall, 30 mtrs. long.
Sorry, maybe this is clearer…just load up the bump material (zbrush/zmaterials) and paint using the rgb channel through the projection master.
More work on Gigantosaurus :
Oh,
ok so if I switch to the bump material, and i paint onto the bump material it doesn’t actually make a change to the mesh but only the bump information after which I can export as a bump map and apply in another 3d package am I geting all this correct?
I don’t actually need the millions of polys to do the very fine details. rite?
I just think its too good to be true thats all, sorry if I come out being abit agressive, I just really need to know.
btw ur Ultrasaurus is lookin damn nice
I’ve attached my bumpTest Results as you can see its not looking nearly as nice as yours.

Check.

No, but you can;t see the bumpeffect on the side…so actual deformation due to a displacement map really helps to convince.

Thanks…good luck practising!
Redesigned the feet :
Started coloring the Stegosaurus : 
Spinosaurus :
Managed to find some hours to work on some dinostuff last month, here are some results, hope you guys like it. Looks like from march I’ll have 3 days a week to work on these creatures, can’t wait !
Rigged a lowpoly version with a light displacement map from zbrush, animated it during a traintrip and this is the result :

cheerz !
Hm, no-one ? 
don’t get discouraged because of slow replies - looks good! the animation is really smooth. nice job. look forward to seeing more. what are you animating in?
3 days a week… lucky b******! 
Looks pretty cool… something weird going on in the neck though with the animation.
Your models are too good for the texturing you did! heheheh I mean that as a compliment! You did a really good job on these and the animation looked pretty good too. The neck jumped weird in one spot but else it was cool.
