DeleD Community Edition

Jeroen

Welcome to Everyone Models, edition 11 already!

Take a look at this here screenshot of a sort of octopus I created using DeleD 1.71:

Can you do better? Wink

We're sure you can! In fact, we hope you'll do better than us because we have been thinking about introducting a DeleD mascotte and guess what, we want it to be a cute little octopus. Razz

Okay, okay, so that means my own try-out won't do, because... well... it's kinda scary, don't you think? Confused

So help us out here by creating a nice, small, smiling octopus, with big eyes. Something like the one I made, but a nice, friendly one. A purple color would be cool too. Wink

Who knows, we might pick yours to be the future DeleD mascotte (to be used on our main website, in DeleD itself, for promotional campaigns etc). Eternal fame is to be won here, so give it your best shot! You can do it! Very Happy

Yours is better than mine. (but then I don't have access to 1.7.1) and have used features of pro that I've never used before. Mine kinda sucks. <--(pssst...that's a link)
Edit--> I have lit the scene and added a background texture. (image in link changed)

i also included the not lightmapped because i think i maybe looks better then the lightmapped. I can easily create in in other colors in you want.

That's very nice Elementrix!

One remark: the legs don't seem to be attached to the main body very well. Is that correct?

elementrix · Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:38 pm Post subject:

yes that's correct, that's why i said that the not lightmapped version looked better because there it more look like it is atached.

I love that toon-shaded look!

A question about octopi, though: aren't they usually holding one or a few scantily clad Japanese girls when you see them rendered? :-)

Euh... yeah! That's the idea! ... Laughing

Here's mine. I don't like the mouth, but I've tried. Oh well.

Nice try! Maybe you can use smoothing on the legs to make them rounder?

Perhaps we should do without a mouth!?

Smoothed legs:

Oh yeah! I really like the bottom-right picture! Very Happy

I'd go without a mouth right now... A mouth is hard to get right while making sure the model still looks OK.

Why an octopus?
