Few weeks ago I did the king and queen for a chess set to three d print. Started in Carrara, took into meshmixer and did a bit of sculpting and added some blobs and creases and bases - have to redo the queen's base

Then brought back into Carrara for texturing and rendering. Used Statuatory shaders - chess board is simple checkers pattern with the Statuatory Marble shader as the white bit

 

.Here they are as Dragon King and Queen,

 

Groovy looking pieces you have there !!!

Part 1 - The Saga

 

This is a tip of the hat to Planet of the Apes - without the time travel twist.  Instead, there was just boring old evolution.  Lizards were slow to evolve, but 66 million years is a long time. :)  They eventually developed language and technology.  No, they don't breathe fire, but they can shoot fire weapons.

Lizards developed a natural caste system based on species variations, much like the apes did in POTA.

Humans (Sapiens) came along just about when lizards realized that killing each other for food was going to insure mutual destruction.  As creepy as those warm-blooded Sapiens were, they made a tasty stew!

Characters include M3, F3, G1 and G2M, and some morphs like Dragonfolk that I have not used before.  Fire effects are Jepe billboards.  The building is from an old Stonemason set.  The flying lizards are the Moorland Dragon.  The flame weapon is actually called the Steam Dragon, and it is available on Rendo.

Carrara processes include Text and Surface Replicator.  At this point, GMIC is always part of my initial setup.

No postwork, as usual.

very cool as usual UB 

maybe a lighter stroke around the text may make it pop out a bit more... it maybe just me but I find the text a bit to blended in with the image... 

Definately a hard task master - but worth considering !!!

have you seen them snapdragon seed pods!..... freaky stuff that.. imagine if........ 

When the local Nuclear Physicist has the weekend off, he gets down and dirty in the garden. This weekend however he never imagined what would happen when he accidently mixed some blood & bone with some gamma radiated snapdragon pods and inhaled the seeds 

his green thumb hobby was about to take a nasty turn

The SnapDragon Scientist

modelled the garden and ornaments and props ( dragon, owl and dragon's breath plant ) modelled the snapdragon head and used it on Pumpkin Jack along with some Carrara fur, used some free plants from some PA here at Daz3d and then did a little postwork in PSE2022.

ha ha Stezza, I seldom go out into the garden as it is - now I will lock myself in my room with a fun gac ide 

nice lateral thinking :)

I had an urge the other day to mow the lawn.... so I had some panadol and had a lay down till it passed..  

also found out not to ask the missus what's for dinner when she's half way through mowing

great back story and poster design - I can see yoiu in Cinema's soon!

I just copied the Carrara installation folders on C: over to E: then I uninstalled Carrara from c: then reinstalled to the new E: location

I did that about 10 years ago and since then I've done the same transfer from E: to D:

I've never had any problems, just had to put the new install settings into DiM if I use that.

also my Carrara shows it's 16GB in size

False start.

RE: Dragon Helm of Dor Lomin.  I had started modeling something in Carrara and got this far.  But I plan to start over.  Seems like a good project to use as a tutorial for a sculpting program and painting program.  So even though I am posting this Work in Progress, and I could finish the modeling project in Carrara, I prefer to use this as a learning opportunity.  Sculpting programs can make normal maps from two versions of a mesh.  So here is a false start Carrara WIP using Carrara's vertex modeler. 

Diomede, any progress on this one ?
