Well if we want it too look wonderful like that, we have to keep it without those things, so the engine can handle the poly count XD

It's already past the limit.

I'm gonna scrap the rant and restart because the topology was a hellbent monstar.

I'll be making an uber-creepy sent of fangs inside that mouth.

Legs are planned as well :]

As for wings, I might make a flying alien model to go with the rest of mine just for all the fanatic modders >__>

EDIT: gimhael said there was some way to surpass the polycount using multiple textures and shaders. Tutorial pl0x.

Much better topology this time around. Probably gonna go over polylimit, but I'll use multiple shaders or find other uses for it.

How would you implement non flat textured eyes (eg yours with round fully circled in game with out it going hay wire with the poly count?

do you mean how would I get the specular highlights in game? I think there's a shader for that, but truth be told, I have no idea.

He's asking how come the eyes look perfectly spherical as opposed to looking polygonish.

Oh, yeah that won't be in the final. I just subdivided them a couple times to look neat.

Hello.

Personally I wouldn't bother making the rounded at all. Just a flat surface with a decent texture can give it a fine apperience, and really those things are so small nobody will be starring at them, and it will likely save you a fair amount of polys to work with.

Well, as this model will probably never get into Tremulous anyways, I thought I'd make it as perdy as possible. Maybe if some upgrade to tremulous ups the polylimit, it will be added, but I'm not counting on it. Probably it will be used for comics, animated short films, wallpapers, etc. EDIT: on second thought, I'd do my best to get it into tremfusion if they upgraded to Xreal.

IIRC, xreal in tremfusion is not what xreal is now. It is evolution quake 3 port of xreal which is quite out dated.
on topic:
You may consider adding levels of detail to the mesh; low, medium, and high.
You already have the high resolution But it is not optimized yet, as far as I can tell.

I have no idea how to do that. Can you give me links to some tutorials? I'm actually quite new to using 3D models for games - meaning LOD, texturing, animation and rigging are all beyond me.

Anyways, have some teeth!

when i'm thinking about dretches i always wonder about the obvious ingame question: why on earth they do like 96 HP max damage?
not to mention to compare it to other classes.
keep it in mind!

also you can compare it to any damage human weapons can cause.
so a dretch bite should be looking as lethal as possible, and the design should show how this cat-sized being is able to achive this!

I'll make the teeth longer. They should latch on to human faces and drive their teeth up through the soft spot under the human's chin.

heyo,
i thought i'd share some ideas about mouths that i find menacing

worms from dune and beetlejuice (the beetlejuice ones are a little goofy in some ways though)
http://www.strangehorizons.com/2001/20010122/sandworm2.jpg
http://moviejpegs1.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/Sand_Worm.jpg

a lamprey
http://blogs.sciencemag.org/origins/lamprey240.jpg

something like the mouths from the aliens in Alien might explain high damage
http://dotancohen.com/images/alien_mouth.jpg

in AvP2 (maybe in part 1 too, but i haven't played it) there was a skull bite that was fun and kind of intimidating (there was a special crosshair when you could activate it and the victim's view would go to third person as they watched their character get bitten)

the first thing that came to mind was actually something similar to the lamprey mouth but with tiered rows of teeth that look like concentric circles from head on. also, the ridges holding the teeth would be somewhat visible and possibly rotating independently of each other. (<-- probably way too much detail for something small like the dretch's mouth but i thought i'd share what was on my mind)
... but i couldn't find a picture of that and couldn't remember if i'd seen it somewhere before

anyways, i like all the pictures you posted in this thread. everything looks really nice.
i just thought you might find these ideas helpful elsewhere if not with the dretch.
big sharp teeth work for me Grin

thanks for reading
