(or just cover the holes with glass)

My idea exactly

Bit of an adaptation on the head, original concept made no sense to have a hole in it's jaw...

tips of hands and feet look flat.

Adding claws now, not 100% done

It definitely looks a bit more practical from a biological standpoint. I think I prefer your take over the original.

Looks really good.
1 thing im unsure about is the teeth, they are not made for meat eating, but the "hands" are.

Sloths eat plants and have claws, but then again, they also climb trees.

I did find this when I searched Google for "herbivores with claws," though:
http://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/6926/20140507/herbivore-dinosaurs-used-razor-sharp-claws-dig-grasp-researchers.htm

ETA for release? o.o

I love it. Although I do agree, it's weird seeing molars on a clawed animal.

Thanks, and I agree, I tried to keep them as blunt as possible as to not look to much like predator claws.

Will try find some time bake the textures and normals to a lowpoly and release it.


Not bad considering it's literally like 1.5 days work... was given 13 weeks to do it, left it till last minute like an idiot and just managed to blast it out! aha


I actually gave it teeth too lmao, just noticed one isn't placed too good but meh, also should give it a tongue.



Open in new tab to see teeth better, large photo.

Looks really good!

One from concept art had a baby, baby grew into what you see above, a more evolved and likely to survive on a Halo ring :P

That's insane, dude! Awesome work! I don't mind the claws, the Iguanodon had both molars and claws iirc, so that's not a big deal

Ah nice, a british dinosaur!

This is truly amazing !
Was it done in zbrush ?
I just started recently and have to say that it's quite badass, and the work flow is much faster than with 3dsmax.
I mean when HP modeling, LP, unwrapping and texturing.

Damn this thornbeast looks a lot better than mines and bungies.

Zbrush is aswome software I wish I got it but I have to use sculptris instead.

And I didn't knew you lived in the UK.

You know, if you're trying to make the thorn beast feasibly live on the halo rings, your next objective will be to make a flood version, if not also a flood blind wolf

WIP map

...don't tempt me.. aha - tbh wouldn't be too hard, just use the current model, get some flood references and see how Bungie/343i make the flood deform other creatures, then do that same kid of style to mine, then apply flood texture.



Yeah it's 100% zBrush, apart from the metal platform thing aha. For organic models it is much better workflow, I just start with a sphere and pull the general shape out and work with that.
Can use that model to make a lowpoly, unwrap it, project the polypaint onto the unwrap and the normals and rig. Wouldn't take long :)

Thanks, are probably similar, I didn't really use any fancy tools within zBrush apart from texturing it and adding fine details to the mesh using a tool which lets you use photographs.

And yeah UK, it's bad how some people in the community still know this lmao.

I just make the models, no put anything into the game for a while. Might make a lowpoly and bake the normals and diffuse ect and release so someone can put it in-game maybe.

I will put it in-game then.


I will do rigging, animations and then start using the settings in guerilla.


I am really pumped up for this.

I'll beat you to it

Dunno when I will do it, I will make a release thread when done so keep your eyes open.

Wow that's going to be high-quality.

Expendables poster in the background and he's ranting about other people being gay......??

m9. You need to calm and think long and hard about why you are posting on halomaps when instead you could be watching cartoons, like sweg bob or shins eggy tender.
